Kolkata: The decks have been cleared for transferring money into the bank accounts of eligible farmers in West Bengal under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme on Friday.
The beneficiaries in the state are likely to get the first installment of Rs 2,000 each in their bank accounts on May 14.
The source said that the West Bengal government has given its approval to automatic debit for directly transferring the money into bank accounts of the PM-Kisan beneficiaries. This paves the way for the transfer of the money into the accounts of eligible farmers.
Mamata Banerjee on Thursday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him to direct the Union ministry of agriculture to release funds under the PM-Kisan scheme for eligible farmers in Bengal immediately.
“I had written earlier on 31.12.2020 to the Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare on providing benefits of PM-Kisan (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi) Scheme to the farmers of the State of West Bengal. Several communications were also made from the State government. However, no concrete response has yet been received from the Ministry on this,” the chief minister wrote.
Sources in the agriculture department said Mamata’s move was considered to be smart as it would put pressure on the Centre to release the doles. The BJP had used the PM Kisan scheme to campaign against the Trinamul Congress in the Assembly polls, alleging that the Mamata government was depriving 72 lakh farmers of the benefits of the central scheme.
