PM Kisan Scheme: Government can give gifts to crores of farmers in the budget, more money will come in the account!

new Delhi. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the budget for the coming financial year 2021-22 on February 1, amid protests against three new agricultural laws. In this time budget, special announcements are likely to be made about farming and farmers. In some media reports, it is being claimed that in the budget, the government can announce an increase of Rs 6,000 annually under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme. In this budget, farmers have also demanded to increase this amount from the Modi government. He says that an amount of Rs 6,000 annually is not enough. The allocation for the agriculture sector was estimated to be around Rs 1.51 lakh crore in FY 2019-20, which rose marginally to Rs 1.54 lakh crore in the next year ie FY 2020-21.

Government also increased allocation for rural development and agricultural irrigation
Apart from this, an allocation of Rs 1.44 lakh crore was made in the financial year 2020-21 for rural development. In its first financial year (2019-20), it was Rs 1.40 lakh crore. The amount of allocation under the Prime Minister Agricultural Irrigation Scheme was increased from Rs 9,682 crore in 2019-20 to Rs 11,217 crore in 2020-21.

Farmers say that an amount of Rs 500 per month is not sufficient under the PM-Kisan scheme. It takes 3-3.5 thousand rupees for a paddy crop in an acre of land. At the same time, if wheat is cultivated, then it costs 2-2.5 thousand rupees. In such a situation, farmers with a little more land are not getting benefit from this scheme. The government should increase this amount so that farmers can get some more relief.

The seventh installment reached the account of 9 crore farmers
PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a scheme to get 100 percent funds by the central government. The central government started the scheme from December 2018, under which Rs 6,000 is transferred annually to small and marginal farmers in their bank accounts. This scheme can be availed by the farmers who do not have more than 2 hectares of land. State governments and union territories identify eligible farmers under this scheme. On 25 December 2020, PM Modi transferred about 18,000 crore rupees to the account of 9 crore farmers.
