PM Modi to release PM Kisan's 23rd installment on June 20. Direct benefit for 66 lakh Rajasthan farmers.
Prime Minister Modi will release this amount with a single click from Tarakeswar in the Hooghly district of West Bengal.
An honorarium of ₹2000 will be directly deposited into the bank accounts of crores of farmers across the country through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
This financial aid is coming at a time when farmers are busy with preparations for sowing Kharif crops.
In Rajasthan, fields are currently being prepared for crops like millet, maize, guar, and moong.
At this time, farmers desperately need money for things like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and tractor plowing.
In such a situation, this installment has come as a huge support for small and marginal farmers in Rajasthan. There is great enthusiasm about it in every rural area of the state.
According to the latest data from the PM Kisan portal, more than 66 lakh eligible farmers in Rajasthan will benefit from this scheme this time.
Although the number of registered farmers in the state is much higher, the government has increased transparency and strictness in the rules.
Only those farmers who have completed all their paperwork, such as e-KYC and land verification, have been included in the beneficiary list.
The central government's goal is to ensure that the benefits of the scheme reach every eligible farmer with full transparency, without any middlemen.
This amount will be transferred directly to the farmers' bank accounts based on the final list prepared in coordination with the agriculture departments of the central and state governments.
The government has tightened some rules to ensure that the benefit reaches the right person.
The installment of farmers who have not yet completed their e-KYC may be stopped.
Additionally, not linking the bank account with Aadhaar or non-verification of land records can also be a major reason for the installment getting stuck.
Farmers are advised to check their status on the PM Kisan portal and rectify any discrepancies immediately.
This 23rd installment of the PM Kisan scheme will act as a lifeline for the farmers of Rajasthan. This financial assistance, received at the crucial time of Kharif sowing, will not only meet their immediate needs but also prove helpful in increasing agricultural productivity.
