Small farmers used to face problems of fertilizers and seeds at the time of sowing and they had to fulfill their needs by taking loans on interest. The farmer fulfills the necessary expenses related to agriculture from this fund. He said that IMPRI conducted an independent study of PM Kisan, which showed that the funds received under this scheme have helped in overcoming the debt constraints of the farmer. The risk-taking capacity of the farmer has also increased.
