PM-KISAN Boost Expected: Farmers Eye ₹8,000 Aid in Upcoming Budget
- •Farmers anticipate an increase in PM-KISAN financial assistance from ₹6,000 to ₹8,000 annually in the upcoming Union Budget.
- •The current ₹6,000 aid, distributed in three installments, is deemed insufficient due to rising agricultural costs and inflation.
- •Farmer organizations and experts are strongly advocating for the increase to alleviate the financial burden on small and marginal farmers.
- •An enhanced PM-KISAN amount is expected to boost farmers' incomes, stimulate rural demand, and revitalize the rural economy.
- •The PM-KISAN scheme, launched in December 2018, aims to provide financial security to small and marginal farmers through direct benefit transfers.
Why It Matters: Farmers are hopeful for an increase in PM-KISAN aid to ₹8,000 in the upcoming budget to counter rising costs.
