## ANSWER

MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a): Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Maan  Dhan  Yojna  (PMKMY)  Scheme  aims  to  provide  social security net for the Small and Marginal Farmers (SMF) by way of pension, as they have minimal or no savings to sustain their livelihood during their old age and to support them in the event of consequent loss of livelihood.   Under this scheme, a minimum fixed pension of Rs.3,000/-per month will be provided to the eligible small and marginal farmers, subject to certain exclusion clauses, on attaining the age of 60 years. The Scheme is a voluntary and contributory pension scheme, with entry age of 18 to 40 years.

(b): The beneficiary would be required to contribute Rs 100/ - per month at median entry age  of  29  years.  The  monthly  contribution  by  the  beneficiaries  for  the  age  group  18-40 years has been given at Annexure-I. The Central Government shall also contribute to the Pension Fund an equal amount.

(c): The Scheme was implemented in 2019 and since the maximum age for enrollment limit is 40 years and minimum fixed pension of Rs. 3000/- per month will be due once the enrolled farmers attain the age of 60. Hence, the benefits of the Scheme shall be available only after a minimum period of 20 years. The list of enrolled farmers under the PM-KMY Scheme district-wise for the State of Gujarat is placed at Annexure-II.
