Jharkhand Farmers Celebrate PM-KISAN Scheme Extension
Farmers in a district of Jharkhand, India, are happy because the government decided to keep giving them money for five more years.
The money helps them buy seeds and fertilisers for their crops.
They say it stops them from borrowing from loan people.
The farmers also want the money to be a little bigger and for the government to make sure fertilisers are available.
The decision was made by the Union Cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Farmers in Latehar district, Jharkhand, celebrated the five‑year extension of the PM‑KISAN scheme to 2030‑31.
The extension was approved by the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Beneficiaries receive ₹6,000 annually in three ₹2,000 instalments to cover seeds and fertilisers.
Farmers say the scheme reduces dependence on money lenders and eases crop‑cycle expenses.
Some farmers suggested raising the instalment to ₹3,000 and improving fertiliser supply control.
