Chouhan said that on June 13, an amount of about six and a half thousand crore rupees was transferred under three important schemes in Rajgarh for the welfare of the farmers. While the state government has waived off the interest amount of the defaulter farmers and made them entitled to get fertilisers and seeds by freeing them from being defaulter, an amount of Rs 2900 crore of Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana was also provided to about 49 lakh farmers. Along with this, an amount of Rs. 1400 crore was transferred to the farmers' accounts under the Mukhya Mantri Kisan-Kalyan Yojana (Chief Minister Farmers Welfare Scheme).
Now, like the sisters, the farmers will also get an amount of Rs. 1000 per month. Similar to the annual Kisan Samman Nidhi of Rs. 6,000 received from the Government of India, farmers in Madhya Pradesh will also get Rs 6,000 from the Mukhya Mantri Kisan-Kalyan Yojana thus a total of Rs 12,000 in a year.
