If you are also a farmer and have not been able to take advantage of this scheme yet, then this is a golden opportunity for you.
What is the new plan of the government?
The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has launched a special initiative, which has been named ‘National Saturation Drive’. The campaign will run till May 31, 2025. This simply means that the government wants to make sure that no qualified farmer should be deprived of the financial help of this scheme annually. Under this campaign, every eligible farmer will be linked to the PM-Kisan Yojana.
