In today’s episode, we explore the extension of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Scheme and its significance for Indian agriculture. The video explains how the Union Cabinet has extended the scheme for four more years, with an approved financial outlay of ₹3.15 lakh crore. It revisits the scheme's launch in 2019 under the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare as a 100% Centrally Funded Central Sector Scheme, providing ₹6,000 annually to eligible landholding farmer families in three equal installments through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The discussion also highlights the scheme's achievements, including benefits reaching 9.49 crore farmers in the 23rd installment and cumulative transfers of over ₹4.47 lakh crore directly into farmers' bank accounts. The editorial further examines the scheme's strengths, such as assured income support, reduced dependence on informal credit, and improved financial inclusion, while also discussing key challenges including the unchanged assistance amount despite rising input costs, exclusion of tenant farmers and sharecroppers, and issues related to Aadhaar and land record inaccuracies affecting beneficiary coverage.
