Beyond PM Kisan: Essential Government Schemes for Indian Farmers

Many Indian farmers rely on PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. This scheme gives ₹6,000 every year in three equal payments. Several other government schemes exist to help reduce farming costs and manage risks.

Extra support for farmers

Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana is a main scheme. It offers payment for crop loss from natural disasters like floods or drought. Madhya Pradesh government recently approved over ₹11,608 crore for this. Also, PM-KUSUM helps farmers set up solar pumps to lower irrigation bills. Various subsidies also give 50% to 80% money help for buying modern farm machinery.

Recent updates include the launch of Digital Agriculture Mission and Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana. These are part of a ₹12,200 crore project package for the farming sector. Farmers should talk to their local agriculture office to find out what other benefits they can get.
