In the budget session of Parliament, the President told: More than 11 crore farmer families got the benefit of PM Kisan Yojana

The budget session of Parliament has started from today i.e. Monday. It started with the speech of President Ram Nath Kovind. The President told during his address that under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan Yojana), the government has always given priority to 80% small farmers. More than 11 crore families of farmers have been benefitted by PM Kisan Yojana.

Farmers get 6 thousand rupees every year
Under this scheme, small and marginal farmers are given three installments of Rs 2,000 each in a year (total Rs 6000). This scheme was started in 2019 to provide financial help to the farmers.

Farmers get help in PM Kisan Yojana
Initially when the PM-Kisan scheme was launched (February, 2019), its benefits were only for the families of small and marginal farmers. This included those farmers who had combined land holding of up to 2 hectares. In June 2019, the scheme was revised and extended to all farmer families. However, some farmers are still excluded from the scheme.

Retired officers and employees do not benefit from the scheme
Those excluded from the PM Kisan scheme are institutional land holders, farmer families holding constitutional posts, serving or retired officers and employees of the state or central government. It also includes officers-employees of public sector undertakings and government autonomous bodies. Apart from these, professionals like doctors, engineers and lawyers, as well as retired pensioners with a monthly pension of more than Rs 10,000 and those who have paid income tax in the previous assessment year are also excluded from this scheme.

How can I register in this?
The eligible beneficiaries of the scheme can also register themselves through Common Service Center (CSC). Apart from this, only the local patwari, revenue officer and the nodal officer nominated by the state government for the scheme are registering the farmers. Apart from this, you can also do your own registration yourself.
