All in one: on the Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana scheme
The Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PMDDKY), a scheme approved by the Union Cabinet, is to be implemented through the convergence of 36 existing schemes across 11 Departments. According to Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the scheme seeks to address the 'disparities in productivity' between States, and even among districts within a State. The Centre's pet schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) and the PM Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) as well as relevant State schemes, to be identified by the District Dhan Dhaanya Samitis, will be subsumed in the PMDDKY. Local partnerships with the private sector will also be promoted under the proposed scheme, which will begin in October during the rabi crop season. The scheme is to get an annual outlay of ₹24,000 crore for six years. Modelled on NITI Aayog's Aspirational Districts Programme, the Centre will identify 100 districts based on low productivity and cropping intensity and less credit disbursement. The hope is that the scheme will result in higher productivity, value addition in agriculture and allied sectors, local livelihood creation, leading to increased domestic production and self-reliance. This convergence of schemes must be viewed in the background of decreasing public spending on agriculture. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Agriculture, in the latest report on Demands for Grants, had observed a continuous decline, from 3.53% in 2021-22 to 3.14% (2022-23), 2.57% (2023-24), 2.54% (2024-25) and 2.51% (2025-26), of the allocations for agriculture as a percentage of total Central Plan outlay. This aggregation of all schemes under one umbrella suggests that the Government wants uniformity in running the welfare, financial and technical schemes in the agriculture sector. It is keen to add States' measures too in the new scheme. It remains to be seen how effective such uniformity will be on the ground as further decrease in public investment in agriculture could be disastrous. Private-public partnerships should be for the larger good of self-reliance, particularly in the production of foodgrains, edible oil and pulses. The progress of area coverage under kharif crops, released last week, points to a decrease in the sowing of oil seeds and popular pulses. Though it promotes national uniformity, it is welcome that the new scheme will function based on 'District Plans' that will be aligned to the national goals of crop diversification, conservation of water and soil health, self-sufficiency in agriculture and allied sectors. For the PMDDKY, the Centre will monitor 117 key indicators of progress on a monthly basis. But to make it more participatory, States, local self governments, primary agriculture cooperative societies, agriculture universities and organisations of farmers and traders must be involved in this process.

PM KISAN scheme: About 2 lakh farmers draw benefits in MP's Damoh
Damoh: The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019 to supplement the financial needs of land-holding farmers by providing them financial assistance. Under the scheme, a financial benefit of Rs 6,000/- per year is transferred in three equal instalments into the Aadhaar-seeded bank accounts of farmers through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The scheme, having been well-received by farmers across the country, is yielding good results in the Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh. According to the latest estimates, a total of 1,87,072 farmers are getting the benefit of this scheme. Every needy farmer in the district is subscribing to the farmer-friendly scheme and eventually benefiting from it. Farmer Ujyar Singh Lodhi, who owns 5 acres of land in Jamunkheda village, said that he gets Rs 2,000 every four months under the Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. "The monetary help under PM-KISAN is very useful for us. We use it for farming, for the education of children, for buying seeds and for ploughing the fields. We are very grateful to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who brought this scheme to provide Rs 6,000 financial assistance to small farmers," he said. Another farmer, Anand Yadav, a resident of Bisnakhedi village, said that under the PM-KISAN Yojana, he gets help of Rs 2,000 after every four months from the Central government. Expressing happiness, he said that the Modi government is doing very good work for the farming community. Notably, Prime Minister Modi has transferred money into the accounts of farmers for the 19th time in February this year. At an event in Bihar's Bhagalpur, PM Modi released the 19th instalment of the PM-KISAN scheme, benefitting over 9.8 crore farmers, including 2.41 crore female farmers across the country. The beneficiaries received direct financial assistance exceeding Rs 22,000 crore through the DBT.

PM Kisan 20th Installment Date: Will Income Tax-Paying Farmers Or Their Spouses Receive The Rs 2,000 Tranche?
PM Kisan 20th Installment Date: According to guidelines, income tax-paying individuals are not eligible for PM-Kisan benefits — regardless of how small their landholding may be. PM Kisan 20th Installment Date: As a week into the month of July has already passed, lakhs of Indian farmers are awaiting the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to release the next tranche of Rs 2,000 to cultivators this month. However, there has been no official announcement about the release date of the payout. Last year, PM Modi had released the June installment in June. This year, however, the timeline appears to be shifting, with July now emerging as the likely period for the release. According to the scheme's official guidelines, income tax-paying individuals are not eligible for PM-Kisan benefits — regardless of how small their landholding may be. Any person who has paid income tax in the last assessment year is excluded from the scheme, according to the eligibility clause. This exclusion also extends to the spouse of the taxpayer. This means if a farmer or their husband/wife filed and paid income tax for the previous financial year (AY 2024-25), they will not be eligible to receive the upcoming 20th installment — even if they have received past payments. Farmers with a secondary income — like part-time teaching, pension, or shopkeeping — are required to pay income tax if such income crosses exemption limit of Rs 3 lakh under the new scheme. If you're a farmer and uncertain about your eligibility, here's what you can do: Check your status on under 'Beneficiary Status' using your Aadhaar or bank account number.
