Features of Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana

The Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana aims to increase the income of farmers in Madhya Pradesh. The government will give financial assistance to farmers, which will help them get out of debt and increase their income. This scheme is linked to the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana so that all beneficiaries of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana can also be covered under this scheme. The verification process during the application procedure ensures that only the real farmers are its beneficiaries.

Drawbacks of Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana

The Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana does not have any negative sides to talk about. Since there is no separate requirement for an application and all farmers under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme are eligible, this is one of the most beneficial projects to help the farmers financially. Not only do they have to make an effort for the assistance, but the amount will also be directly credited to their accounts in a timely fashion.

The only difficulty will be if you have not applied for the other scheme. Applying for it will be easy but it may take a few days to get the registration complete and the issuance of the Kisan card. The trouble would be if the instalment due might get over by the time you get the card.

How to Apply?

To be eligible for the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, you must be a permanent resident of Madhya Pradesh. You must also register under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, and be a small marginal farmer with cultivable land for farming. Start by applying for the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, if you haven’t.

There is no separate registration for the Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana since every farmer who is listed under the Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme will be under this scheme as well.

When you log in to the official website of the state portal, you can see the list of beneficiaries of each district, village and area etc. You can simply click on the Chief Minister Farmer Welfare Scheme tab to open the dashboard.
