The government of India had launched the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme in 2018 with an aim to help farmers. The scheme has been running with 100 per cent funding from the Government of India, though the entire responsibility of identification of beneficiary farmer families rests with the State and UT Governments.

Under the scheme, a fund is directly transferred to the account of beneficiaries. While announcing the relief package last week, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that 8.19 crore beneficiaries have received an instalment of Rs 2,000 under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana.

“One time of Rs 2,000 has reached 8.19 crore farmers, a total amount of Rs 16,394 crore. NSAP beneficiaries got Rs 1,405 crore in the first instalment and Rs 1,402 crore in 2nd instalment, the target of Rs 3,000 crore nearly achieved,” Sitharaman said.
