Following the mantra of Seva and Sushasan, meaning public service and good governance, the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working tirelessly to bring about change and progress.“India has been an agricultural country for centuries, and even today a large population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. However, the farmers who fill our food reserves often face many challenges. Understanding their struggles, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended a helping hand by announcing the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme.” Inaugurating the scheme in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, on February 24, 2019, Prime Minister Modi said…The PM-KISAN scheme is one of the country’s largest welfare initiatives. Under this scheme, farmers are sent ₹2,000 directly into their bank accounts every four months. This annual assistance of ₹6,000 provides significant relief to farmers and eases their burden. Speaking on the transformative impact of this scheme, Dr. Khemchand, a scientist at the National Institute of Agricultural Economics and Policy Research, said,Under the PM-KISAN scheme, more than ₹390,000 crore has been transferred directly to farmers’ accounts in 21 instalments so far.The PM-KISAN scheme is like a rain shower in the lives of farmers. It helps them reap a golden harvest, feeding the nation with their hard work.”
