PM KISAN

Subject: Government Schemes

Context: PM Modi on Friday said the Centre has transferred around Rs 1,35,000 crore so far under the PM-Kisan scheme with the payment of eighth instalment . He added that the Centre is also procuring higher quantity of paddy and wheat at MSP to boost farmers’ income.

Concept:

Pradhan MantriKisanSammanNidhi:

  • It is implemented as a central sector scheme by the Government of India.
  • This scheme was introduced to augment the source of income of many small and marginal farmers.
  • Under the Scheme an amount of Rs.6000/- per year is transferred directly into the bank accounts of the farmers, subject to certain exclusion criteria relating to higher income status.
  • The entire responsibility of identification of beneficiaries rests with the State / UT Governments.
  • The Scheme initially provided income support to all Small and Marginal Farmers’ families across the country, holding cultivable land upto 2 hectares.
  • Its ambit was later expanded w.e.f. 01.06.2019 to cover all farmer families in the country irrespective of the size of their land holdings.
  • Affluent farmers have been excluded from the scheme such as Income Tax payers in last assessment year, professionals like Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Chartered Accountants etc and pensioners pensioners drawing at least Rs.10,000/- per month (excluding MTS/Class IV/Group D employees).
