In Madhya Pradesh, the MP cabinet has approved the distribution of Rs 6,000 to farmers under the Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana. Earlier farmers were given 4 thousand rupees annually. Along with this, 6 thousand rupees are given every year by the Central Government under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. By combining both the schemes, now 12 thousand rupees will be given in the account of the farmer every year.

Kisan Kalyan Yojana

Under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, farmers are paid 6 thousand rupees in 3 equal installments in a year.
On the lines of this scheme, Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana has been started in Madhya Pradesh, under which the beneficiary farmers of PM Kisan Yojana were given 4-4 thousand rupees Samman Nidhi in two equal installments in a year by the state government. In this way every farmer was given a Samman Nidhi of Rs 10,000 in total. The Madhya Pradesh government has increased its share of the plan by two thousand.
The primary objective of Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana is to make agriculture a profitable business. This scheme encourages farmers to adopt advanced technologies and promotes self-reliance among them.

PM-KISAN

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a central sector scheme launched on 24th February 2019, aimed at providing financial assistance to all cultivable land holding farmer families across the country, subject to certain exclusion criteria. Under the Scheme, an amount of Rs. 6000/- is transferred annually in three equal installments of Rs.2000/- directly into the Aadhaar Seeded bank accounts of the farmers through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode.
A farmer-centric digital infrastructure has ensured the benefits of the scheme reach all the farmers across the country without any involvement of the middlemen, maintaining absolute transparency in registering and verifying beneficiaries.
