Kisan Yojana: Good news for farmers. As the results of the Bihar elections become clear, farmers are seeing a surge of hope. Early trends show the NDA maintaining a lead, and the BJP projected to win over 90 seats. This atmosphere has sparked renewed hope among farmers. If the NDA forms government again in Bihar, farmers’ income could increase. Currently, farmers receive 6,000 rupees under the PM Kisan Yojana. Once the NDA forms government in Bihar, this amount could increase from 6,000 rupees to 9,000 rupees.
This prospect has brought relief to farmers, as it will directly increase their annual income. Under the PM Kisan Yojana, the central government sends Rs 2,000 to farmers three times a year, totaling Rs 6,000. This money is deposited directly into bank accounts. Now the question is how this amount will be increased for Bihar’s farmers. Let me tell you, during the election campaign, the NDA clearly stated in its manifesto that farmers would receive an additional 3,000 rupees in addition to the existing 6,000 rupees. This means a total annual benefit of 9,000 rupees.
If this happens, farmers could receive an extra Rs 1,000 in each installment. The NDA’s manifesto has named this increased amount the Karpoori Thakur Kisan Samman Nidhi. Under this, the state government will add Rs 1,000 each to the three installments from the central government. This means that each installment will be Rs 3,000, not Rs 2,000. This amount will be sent directly to farmers’ accounts. Around 7.3 million farmers in Bihar are enrolled in the PM Kisan Yojana. If this promise is implemented, these farmers will directly benefit.
It is currently unclear whether farmers will need to submit a separate application to receive the extra Rs 3,000. It is possible that farmers already receiving benefits may be automatically included in the scheme. However, the situation will become clear only after the government is formed.
