Features of PM Kisan Khad Yojana

One of the latest farmer-friendly projects of the Government of India is the PM Khad Yojana. This will help the beneficiaries to get direct financial benefits of INR 5000 per year to procure fertilizers. This will be a huge helping hand for those struggling to meet their ends. Announced in October 2022, this project came as a Diwali gift for the farmers.

The beneficiaries will be the actual farmers. The guidelines of the PM Khad Yojana scheme specify who is not eligible so that those in need will get their actual help without any undeserving candidate interfering in between.

Benefits of PM Kisan Khad Yojana

• The Kisan Khad Yojana is a beneficial financial support for farmers who are unable to afford expensive fertilizers or sometimes, the basic fertilizer requirements. They now will get INR 2500 twice a year to help them achieve their goals.
• This Kisan Khad Yojana will be in addition to the already implemented INR 6000 for the farmers. With this project, the annual financial support for the farmers will now be INR 11,000.
• The application process for this is online through the PM Kisan portal with proper KYC formalities.
• The biggest benefit here is that the amount will be credited directly to the beneficiary’s bank account, bypassing all middlemen.

Drawbacks of PM Kisan Khad Yojana

The PM Khad Yojana is a wonderful helping hand for the farmers and will be more advantageous for small-scale farmers. For larger-scale farmers, this will not be sufficient to meet their demands and will need a higher amount. At the instant that is not the case. At the same time, the other projects of the Central Government of India will assist them with this. Moreover, more proportionate financial assistance could have been a better option. This way the farmers will get support proportionate to their farming land or expenses, where applicable.
