The Indian government launched the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme to provide financial aid to millions of marginalised small farmers across the country. Under the scheme, the government credits Rs 6000 per year directly into the bank account of beneficiaries in three instalments, subject to certain exclusions.
The first instalment is credited between April 20 July, the second one between August to November and the third one between December and March.
The purpose of the scheme is to provide landholding farmers with some capital so that they can ensure proper crop health and yields. So far, the government has released seven instalments under the scheme, and is pretty soon expected to roll out the eighth instalment to aid farmers amid a crisis.
Pradip Biswas, 54, a farmer who owns seven acres of land in Hatgobindapur village, has been looking out for senior BJP leaders these past few months to ask a few questions.
In the run-up to Saturday’s polls in eight East Burdwan constituencies, scores of BJP leaders had visited the district to tell farmers that the Mamata Banerjee government had denied them the benefits of the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Among them were Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and BJP president J.P. Nadda.
“People like me heard them out, but some of our questions remain unanswered,” Biswas said. He reeled off his queries:
