Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, small and marginal farmers are given 6 thousand rupees annually. Now the farmers of West Bengal can also get the benefit of this scheme. Addressing an election meeting in West Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that farmers will start getting benefits of this scheme as soon as the BJP government is formed in the state.
New Delhi. Under the Prime Minister Kisan Sammani Nidhi Yojana, the flagship program of Modi government, small and marginal farmers are given Rs 6,000 a year. This amount, given in three installments of Rs 2,000-2,000, is directly transferred to the bank account of the farmers. An installment comes in 4 months. The government’s aim is to double the income of farmers. But this scheme of the central government is not applicable in West Bengal. Addressing an election meeting in West Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that before the formation of BJP government in the state, money will be given to the farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. These money will be given since the scheme was implemented.
In such a situation, about 70 lakh farmers of West Bengal will get this benefit. Shah said that soon after the formation of BJP government, we will give Rs 6000 this year including Rs 12,000 last year. That is, the total amount will be given to the farmers Rs 18,000. Please tell that CM Mamta Banerjee has not implemented PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. Due to which farmers are not getting Rs 6,000 annually.
The loss of Rs 9,660 crore to 70 lakh farmers is going to
be held in West Bengal. In such a situation, it can also be called a political statement. However, if you look at the budget of PM farmer, it is enough. Due to which farmers can be given along with the previous amount. PM farmer has become a big issue in the state. Around 70 lakh farmers have lost crores of rupees in the state. The Ministry of Agriculture has estimated it at Rs 9,660 crore.
Some farmers in the state applied online. But the work of verification is with the state government. Due to non-verification of the state government, the central government could not help these farmers.
Thus money is transferred in the account
Under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, farmers have to apply online. Then the state government verifies your revenue record, Aadhaar number and bank account number. Until the state government verifies your account, the money does not come. As soon as the state government verifies, then the FTO is generated. Then after this, the central government transfers the money to the account.
