New Delhi: Agriculture minister Radha Mohan Singh has asked all chief ministers to quickly send the list of farmers eligible to receive Rs 6,000 a year under the PM-KISAN scheme announced in the interim budget.
Singh said the scheme required deep commitment at all levels of state administration to make sure that farmers get the desired benefit on time.
A PM-Kisan portal has been launched to facilitate implementation of the scheme with the help of a common platform. “You will agree that a committed involvement of the administrative machinery from the state to the village level is absolutely essential for timely implementation of this scheme,” he wrote to the CMs.
He said the states should ensure there is no duplication in payments made to farmers under the scheme. The scheme has been launched retrospectively from December 1.
The government wants to make sure that the first instalment of the payment is transferred in the current fiscal year itself.
