The PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, launched by Prime Minister Modi in 2019, aims to provide direct income support to farmers. Under the program, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually in three equal installments, ensuring their financial security and empowering them to enhance agricultural productivity.
CM Saini’s Appreciation for PM Modi’s Efforts
On behalf of the farmers of Haryana, CM Saini extended his heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Modi, recognizing his significant contributions to the welfare of farmers. Saini stressed that the Haryana government would continue to prioritize the needs of farmers, particularly in schemes related to the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, crop insurance, and Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana, all of which help shield farmers from market volatility.
“Through the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, we have seen a direct benefit to farmers. This installment will further empower the agricultural community, providing essential funds for their daily needs and farming endeavors,” Saini remarked.
Symbolic Gesture at the Kisan Samman Samaroh
During the Kisan Samman Samaroh held in Jhajjar, farmers were honored with a traditional gift — the plough, a timeless symbol of respect and hard work in the farming community. This ceremony, which saw the participation of local food producers, further highlighted the critical role that farmers play in the nation’s food production and the economy.
Saini, who has a personal history as a farmer with a small landholding, also offered a heartfelt gesture of respect toward the food producers. He acknowledged their contributions, stating, “I say Ram Ram to the food producers with folded hands and thank them for their continuous hard work in feeding the nation.”
Haryana’s Continued Support to Farmers
The release of the ₹360 crore installment isn’t the only initiative aimed at improving farmers’ welfare in Haryana. The state government has introduced several progressive agricultural schemes that prioritize the economic security and growth of farmers. These include schemes such as the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana, which compensates farmers for crops sold below the MSP, and crop insurance programs that ensure a safety net for unpredictable weather conditions.
Additionally, Haryana’s government continues to work tirelessly to ensure that farmers are paid fair prices for their produce, protecting them from exploitation and market failures. CM Saini reiterated his government’s commitment to promoting agricultural growth and sustainable farming practices to improve the livelihoods of the state’s farmers.
PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi: A National Revolution in Agricultural Support
Since its launch, PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi has become one of the country’s most impactful farmer welfare programs. The initiative is a testament to the government’s focus on improving the socio-economic condition of farmers by providing them with direct financial aid, bypassing the need for intermediaries.
In addition to this direct support, the scheme has led to increased agricultural investment and a sense of financial security among small and medium farmers, which has allowed them to reinvest in their farms and improve productivity.
Future Outlook: Ensuring Long-term Farmer Welfare
As Haryana continues to implement programs that benefit the agricultural community, there is a call for more comprehensive reforms in the agriculture sector to ensure long-term sustainability. By enhancing crop insurance schemes, focusing on agriculture infrastructure, and supporting organic farming, the government hopes to further ensure that the country’s farmers have access to resources that will help them thrive.
Haryana’s leadership in implementing such policies is an example for other states to follow, as they work towards enhancing agricultural sustainability and providing economic stability for their farming communities.
Conclusion: A Day of Pride for Farmers and Haryana
The PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi’s 6th anniversary marked a significant milestone not only for Haryana but for India’s farmers. With a ₹360 crore installment now deposited into the accounts of 16.38 lakh farmers in Bihar, the government’s commitment to supporting its agricultural sector remains strong.
As Haryana’s Chief Minister Nayab Saini assured, the state will continue its non-stop efforts to improve the lives of its farmers, ensuring that the agricultural community receives the support and recognition they truly deserve.
