Farmers Scheme: Big news for farmers. In Madhya Pradesh, farmers are reaping the benefits of a variety of schemes from both the central and state governments. The PM Kisan Yojana, initiated by the central government, is operational in the state, offering an annual sum of Rs 6,000. Additionally, the Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana is also being rolled out in the state. This scheme provides farmers with financial support of Rs 6,000 each year, effectively doubling their annual benefits.
Under the PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmers nationwide receive three payments of Rs 2,000 each. These funds are directly deposited into the beneficiaries’ bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), ensuring transparency and removing intermediaries from the process. The primary goal of this scheme is to assist small and marginal farmers with their farming costs and to stabilize their income.

Farmers in Madhya Pradesh receive a total of Rs 12,000 each year
This financial support for farmers in Madhya Pradesh is actually a blend of two significant schemes. The first is the central government’s PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, which provides Rs 6,000 in three installments. In parallel, the Madhya Pradesh government has raised the annual amount under its Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana to Rs 6,000, up from the previous Rs 4,000. This adjustment aligns the state support with that of the central government, resulting in a total of Rs 12,000 received by farmers through various installments throughout the year.
To take advantage of both schemes, farmers need to keep a few important points in mind. Firstly, they must be registered on the PM Kisan portal, as the data for the state scheme is sourced from there. Additionally, it is essential to complete land records, including land ceding, and ensure that bank account e-KYC is done. If any documents are missing or if the bank account is not linked to Aadhaar, there is a risk of delays in receiving installments. Farmers are encouraged to regularly verify their status at their nearest CSC center or with their Patwari to minimize the chances of their payments being delayed.
