Do farmers who cultivate on government land get the money of PM Kisan Yojana? Know the rules

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana: The central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is constantly trying to double the income of farmers. For this, the central government is also running many schemes related to farmers. The most important of these is the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Under this scheme, the government gives financial assistance of Rs 6000 to the farmers every year. This amount is sent to the accounts of the farmers in three installments, in which Rs 2000 is transferred every four months.

Under the Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, so far money has been transferred to the accounts of more than 13 crore farmers of the country. Now the question is, do such farmers also get the benefit of this scheme, who are farming on government or leased land? Let's know the answer to this...

Which farmers get the benefit of the scheme

Under the Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, the amount is transferred only to the accounts of those small farmers in whose name agricultural land is registered.
