Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday released the 8th instalment of financial benefits under Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN). The announcement of the same was made during a virtual meet on Friday.
Rs 19,000 crores are allotted to over 9.5 crore beneficiaries under the 8th instalment. The Prime Minister even interacted with the beneficiaries. On the day the Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar also made his presence. Never in the past has it happened that the farmers of West Bengal took a part in the scheme and will be benefitted with the same as until now the Mamata Banerjee govt didn’t allow its state farmers to take part in the PM-KISAN yojana.
The Prime Minister lauded the efforts of the farmers nationwide for making record produce in food grains and horticulture amid the difficulties being faced by the nation. He added that the government is also setting new records in procurement at MSP every year. Firstly, paddy and now wheat procurement is reaching new bars. He added “so far this year about 10% more wheat has been procured at MSP, compared to last year. So far, about Rs, 58,000 crores for wheat procurement have reached the farmers’ account directly.”
इस वर्ष, अभी तक बीते वर्ष की तुलना में लगभग 10 प्रतिशत अधिक गेहूं एमएसपी पर खरीदा जा चुका है।

कोरोना की मुश्किल चुनौतियों के बीच जहां किसानों ने कृषि और बागवानी में रिकॉर्ड उत्पादन किया है, वहीं सरकार भी हर साल MSP पर खरीद के नए रिकॉर्ड बना रही है।
पहले धान की और अब गेहूं की भी रिकॉर्ड खरीद हो रही है: PM @narendramodi

By promoting organic farming, he commented the govt making efforts to come up with ‘new ideas’ and ‘new options’ in farming. Organic farming delivers more profit and is now being practiced across the nation by young farmers. He asserted “Organic farming is being practiced on both banks of river Ganga and within a radius of about 5 kilometres so that the Ganga remains clean.”
खेती में नए समाधान, नए विकल्प देने के लिए सरकार निरंतर प्रयास कर रही है।
जैविक खेती को बढ़ावा देना ऐसे ही प्रयास हैं।
इस प्रकार की फसलों में लागत भी कम है, ये मिट्टी और इंसान के स्वास्थ्य के लिए लाभदायक हैं और इनकी कीमत भी ज्यादा मिलती है: PM @narendramodi

PM Modi underlined the extension of Kisan Credit Card’s deadline during times of pandemic and the instalments can now be renewed by June 30. He said more than 2 crore Kisan Credit cards have been issued in recent years.
On the current scenario, PM spoke as the world is dealing with the pandemic which has happened after 100 years in the history of mankind. The intangible foe in front of us has taken many lives. He added, “The government is fighting COVID-19 with all its might and ensuring that every govt department is working day & night to ease the pain of the nation.”
100 साल बाद आई इतनी भीषण महामारी कदम-कदम पर दुनिया की परीक्षा ले रही है। हमारे सामने एक अदृश्य दुश्मन है। हम अपने बहुत से करीबियों को खो चुके हैं।
बीते कुछ समय से जो कष्ट देशवासियो ने सहा है,अनेको लोग जिस दर्द से गुजरे है, तकलीफ से गुजरे है वो मैं भी उतना ही महसूस कर रहा हूं: PM
