Impact of the 2021 Budget on PM Kisan Yojana

The 2021 budget announcement had a lot of PM Kisan Yojana related news. You will be pleased to know that the government has allocated Rs 18,000 crores for additional support to farmers. This is significantly higher than what was expected and will further provide financial aid to farmers who depend on the scheme for their livelihood.

Additionally, the government has also announced a new scheme, Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan (PM-AASHA). This scheme aims to improve the income of agriculturalists and small and marginal farmers by providing them better remunerative prices for their produce. It’s estimated that over 10 crore farmers will benefit from this initiative.

Furthermore, the government also proposed setting up a special facility to help farmers get access to technology, learn about best practices, connect with buyers and access markets for better prices for their products. The government aims to provide 50 lakhs farmers access to this facility by 2023 so that they can become competitive in an increasingly globalized world.

Lastly, the budget also proposed enhancement of crop insurance coverage from existing levels of 30 percent coverage area in 10 states to 50 percent across India by 2023. This is seen as a major boost to those dependent on agriculture and is likely to reduce losses due to crop failure or natural calamities.
