Funds of Kisan Samman Nidhi may increase
The big news for children is related to the installment of Pradhan Samman Nidhi in the budget. Actually, such news has come to the fore that the central government can give a gift to the farmers in this budget. Till now, the central government gives 6 thousand rupees annually to the farmer, that is, every 4 months, 2000 rupees are sent to the farmer’s account. In this way, 6 thousand rupees are given in a year. Farmers have been demanding from the Central Government to increase the amount of the fund for a long time. In such a situation, it is expected that this time the central government can increase the amount of 6 thousand to 8 thousand.
Agricultural loan target may increase by Rs 2 lakh crore
A large section of the country’s farming farmers do farming by taking loans from banks and fulfill their needs. Farmers are expected to get relief in this regard this year. Farmers say that the interest on taking a loan from a private bank or a moneylender is hefty. It is also not easy to return it. Farmer’s gold, house, land are even mortgaged. In view of this problem of the farmers, the central government can increase the target of agricultural loans this time. In the current session, it was kept at Rs 18 lakh crore. This time it can be increased from Rs 2 crore to Rs 20 lakh crore.
Credit card to every farmer in PM Kisan Yojana
The discussion about increasing the agricultural target is also in full swing because the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is an ambitious scheme of the Central Government. More than 9 crore farmers of the country are taking the benefit of this scheme. Farmers eagerly wait for the installment to come. At the same time, this scheme also has political significance. The central government is insisting on making a credit card for every farmer associated with the PM Samman Nidhi. In such a situation, if a credit card is made for every farmer, the pressure on the central government to increase agricultural loans will also increase.
Emphasis will be on drone, AI and other technology
The central government is promoting drones in the country. Under this, insecticides and fertilizers are sprayed per acre in 10 to 15 minutes. At the same time, the correct assessment of crop loss is done. Both the cost and time of the farmers are saved. Some steps can also be taken regarding drone technology. At the same time, the central government’s emphasis will also be on increasing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other technology. The central government can also take steps to promote agriculture university and agriculture education.
