## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE क ृ िष एवं िकसान कʞाण राǛ मंũी (SHRI  RAMNATH THAKUR)

- (a): The PM-KISAN scheme is a central sector scheme launched in February 2019 by  the  Hon'ble  Prime  Minister  to  supplement  the  financial  needs  of  land-holding farmers. Under this scheme, the financial benefit of Rs 6,000/- per year in three equal installments  is  transferred  into  the  bank  accounts  of  farmers'  families  across  the country through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode. The PM-KISAN scheme is one of the largest DBT Schemes of the World.

A farmer-centric digital infrastructure has ensured the benefits of the scheme reach all the farmers across the country without any involvement of the intermediaries. Maintaining  absolute  transparency  in  registering  and  verifying  beneficiaries,  the Government of India has so far disbursed over Rs. 3.24 lakh Cr to more than 11 Cr farmers  in  17  instalments.  The  State-wise  details  of  the  beneficiaries  and  amount released to them under PM-KISAN so far since inception is at Annexure-1.

(b): The  district-wise  number  of  beneficiaries  under  PM-KISAN  in  the  States  of Odisha and Tamil Nadu are at Annexure-2 and Annexure-3 respectively.

(c): There is no such proposal under consideration.

(d): As  per  operational  guidelines  of  the  Scheme,  it  is  the  responsibility  of  the States/UTs to identify and verify the eligible beneficiaries under the scheme. On the basis  of  verified  data  received  from  the  States/UTs  on  the  PM-KISAN  portal,  the benefits  are  transferred  to  the  beneficiaries  through  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  (DBT) mode.

The Ministry often undertakes saturation drives in coordination with the State Governments to ensure that no eligible farmers are left out from the Scheme. The recent nationwide saturation drive was undertaken from 15 November 2023, under the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY), to saturate the scheme with all eligible farmers. More than 1.0 cr farmers were included in the scheme during the campaign period across the country.

Further,  Village  Level  Nodal  officers  continuously  identify  and  onboard  the eligible farmers under the PM-KISAN scheme from villages assigned to them.  Further, registration  services  of  the  PM-KISAN  scheme  is  also  available  at  over  5.0  lakh Common Services Centers across the country to enable the farmers to register under the scheme, at their doorstep.
