Farmers Scheme: The government is currently implementing various schemes to enhance the income of farmers. Millions of farmers in India are benefiting from these central government-run schemes. However, a significant number of farmers are unable to benefit from these schemes, leaving others without access to them.
There are many such schemes that can help farmers financially and provide a variety of benefits. The government runs various schemes for farmers, ranging from the PM Kisan Yojana to the Kisan Credit Card. If you are a farmer, you should be aware of these schemes, which you can utilize to further your farming endeavors.
Kisan Credit Card
The Modi government launched the Kisan Credit Card to assist the country’s farmers financially. The government creates credit cards for eligible farmers, enabling them to receive loans at extremely low interest rates. To get a Kisan Credit Card, first of all, you should have the documents for the farming land. Apart from this, an identity card is also necessary. For this, you can use your Aadhar card.
Pradhan Mantri Kusum Yojana
In light of the electricity problem in rural areas, the central government has initiated the Pradhan Mantri Kusum Yojana so that farmers can get water in their fields on time.
Under this, farmers get solar panels on subsidy, so that they can easily produce electricity and irrigate their fields. Under this scheme, farmers can also buy solar pumps. Under this scheme, the Government of India will give farmers a 60% subsidy on the total cost of solar irrigation installed pumps.
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana
The central government has launched the PM Kisan Scheme to improve farmers’ economic conditions. The scheme sends 6 thousand rupees to the farmers’ direct account annually. Farmers receive $6,000 in three installments per year.
If farmers want, they can apply for Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana by visiting the DBT portal. Farmers have received the money for the 17th installment under the PM Kisan Yojana, and farmers are waiting for the 18th installment.
