The state government will release PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi and Annadata Sukhibhava funds to eligible farmers today. Nearly 46.86 lakh farmers will receive financial support. Each farmer will get ₹7,000, and the total amount being disbursed is ₹3,135 crore. The deposits are expected to reflect in farmers’ bank accounts by evening.
Officials said that several beneficiaries were screened during verification. Some individuals were found ineligible for the scheme due to various conditions set by the government. Employees earning more than ₹20,000 per month are excluded from the scheme. Current and former public representatives also do not qualify for the benefits.
The scheme is not applicable to land used for aquaculture or non-agricultural purposes. The government clarified that only pure agricultural landholders are eligible. Farmers owning less than 10 cents of land have also been marked ineligible after verification. Officials said that minors holding land are not covered under the scheme.
Authorities stated that these conditions were set to ensure the funds reach genuine cultivators. The government expects the financial support to benefit lakhs of farmers and strengthen rural households. Farmers in many districts have welcomed the announcement and are awaiting the credit of funds.
