Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, better known as the PM-KISAN scheme, has once again proved its positive effect with the 20th PM-KISAN installment Gujarat distribution. This latest payment has provided relief and support to over 52 lakh farmers through direct financial help. Carried out with clarity and efficiency, the scheme continues to help small and marginal farmers across the state. In this article, you can know more about the wide reach of this welfare program, the government’s role in its success, and other new ideas aimed at making Gujarat’s farming sector strong and sustainable.
Effect of the 20th PM-KISAN Installment in Gujarat
20th installment of the PM-KISAN scheme involved a large payment of more than Rs 1,118 crore directly credited to the bank accounts of 52.16 lakh farmers in Gujarat. This distribution was celebrated during the state-level ‘PM-Kisan Utsav Diwas’ event held in Gandhinagar with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who released the installment virtually. Over 3 lakh farmers took part in the event online, showing the government’s dedication to farmers’ welfare.
Government and Leadership Roles in Scheme Success
Leadership has a very important role in the success of the PM-KISAN scheme. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision and the state government’s active steps have made the scheme the world’s largest direct benefit transfer (DBT) project for farmers. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel praised the clarity and efficiency of this program, which builds farmers’ trust in government efforts. With more than Rs 3.69 lakh crore given nationwide to 9.7 crore farmers, the scheme is proof of fast and impactful governance focused on helping the farming community.
Growth and Reach of PM-KISAN Scheme in Gujarat
Since it started in 2019, the PM-KISAN scheme has kept growing in reach. Gujarat alone has received nearly Rs 19,993 crore in total through past installments. The state has seen a fivefold increase in agriculture spending over the last ten years, improving soil health and mechanisation. More than 25 crore soil health cards have been handed out across India, increasing agricultural productivity. The 20th installment alone involved Rs 20,500 crore distributed across the country, strengthening the scheme’s role in helping farmers.
Supporting New Ideas and Sustainable Farming Methods
To add to financial help, Gujarat supports sustainable and innovative farming methods. The government actively promotes natural farming techniques and growing millet, matching the vision of a developed India by 2047. Starting the Gujarat Natural Farming Science University in Halol is an important step to back these efforts.
Digital Tools and Farmer Support Systems
Technology has further increased the benefits of government schemes. The i-Kisan Portal acts as a digital platform where over 11 lakh farmers in Gujarat have signed up to access agricultural resources and state-supported schemes. This tool makes things easier for farmers, from sowing seeds to selling produce, making sure they get timely support and information to improve their livelihoods.
The PM-KISAN scheme, by combining direct financial support with new farming methods and digital access, keeps changing the agricultural scene in Gujarat, promising a sustainable and successful future for its farmers.
