Schemes For Farmers: Apart from the PM Kisan Yojana, farmers can also benefit from these 3 schemes...
Government Schemes for Farmers: The Central Government has released the 22nd installment into the bank accounts of farmers under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme. More than 90 million farmer families across the country have benefited from this installment. Notably, the PM-KISAN scheme is an ambitious initiative of the Central Government, under which eligible farmers receive financial assistance totaling ₹6,000 annually. This amount is disbursed directly into the farmers' bank accounts in three equal installments—specifically, ₹2,000 every four months. However, did you know that in addition to the PM-KISAN scheme, the Central Government operates several other beneficial schemes for farmers? By leveraging these initiatives with the right information, farmers can significantly strengthen their financial standing. In this context, we are going to tell you today about three such government schemes that can provide substantial benefits to our farmer brethren...
1. PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana (PM-KMY)
The PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana is primarily a pension scheme designed for small and marginal farmers. Under this scheme, farmers aged between 18 and 40 years are eligible to enroll. Beneficiaries are required to make a monthly contribution ranging from ₹55 to ₹200, depending on their age. Consequently, once a farmer attains the age of 60, the government provides them with a monthly pension of ₹3,000, ensuring they receive financial support during their old age.
2. PM-KUSUM Scheme
The full name of the PM-KUSUM scheme is *Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan* (Prime Minister's Farmer Energy Security and Upliftment Campaign). Its objective is to make farmers self-reliant in the energy sector. Under this government initiative, farmers are provided with subsidies to install solar pumps. This enables farmers to effectively irrigate their crops. Furthermore, this initiative also offers farmers opportunities to enhance their income. For comprehensive details regarding this scheme, farmers can visit its official website: https://pmkusum.mnre.gov.in/.
3. Pipeline Scheme
The Pipeline Scheme is primarily administered by state governments through their respective Agriculture Departments. Under this scheme, farmers receive a subsidy for purchasing pipelines to transport water to their fields for irrigation. This not only reduces water wastage but also enables the irrigation of a larger area using a smaller quantity of water.
