Barring West Bengal all states are implementing the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme (PM Kisan) which has benefited 7.5 crore farmers so far, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said in Rajya Sabha on Friday.
Under the PM-Kisan scheme, the government provides Rs 6,000 annually to farmers.
"This scheme is being implemented in all states barring West Bengal. As far as Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab are concerned, all the three states have joined the scheme and are providing farmers data," Tomar said during Question Hour.
He said, "7.5 crore farmers have got money. 5 crore farmers are linked with Aadhaar and we will disburse the amount this year."
