Port Blair, June 22: PM-KISAN is a Central Sector Scheme-Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi’ launched on 24th February, 2019 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi to supplement the financial needs of land holding farmers. It is the largest DBT (Direct benefit transfer) Scheme in the world. Under this scheme, the financial benefit of Rs. 6000/- per year is transferred directly into the bank accounts of farmers’ families across the country. The scheme has increased farmers’ capacity for risk-taking, allowing them to make riskier but productive investments and take advantage of the process and technical developments.
