Why 6 crore farmers have decreased
Opposition MPs asked many questions regarding PM Kisan Yojana in Rajya Sabha. There was also a question as to why the number of farmers who got PM Kisan’s Samman Nidhi has decreased by 6 crores. Answering this question, Union Minister of State for Agriculture Kailash Chaudhary told that some farmers were income tax payers and were employed in good positions, while PM Kisan’s money is given to weaker section farmers as financial help.
The fund of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is not for the rich people, so we removed them from the scheme and the number of farmers also decreased. The Minister of State for Agriculture said that an amount of Rs 2.24 lakh crore has been sent directly to the accounts of 11.5 crore farmers as Kisan Samman Nidhi.
That’s why honor fund is given
The objective of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is to provide economic empowerment to the agricultural farmers of small and weaker sections, so that they can meet their agricultural or personal expenses in time. Many times there are some agricultural or personal expenses related to agriculture, for which it becomes difficult to raise money, so the government transfers Rs 2,000 directly to the bank account every quarter.
