The livelihood of crores of families in the country depends on agriculture. Among them, there are a large number of farmers who do farming on a small scale or earn their living by working as sharecroppers on the land of others. Government schemes prove to be a big relief for these families amidst limited income and increasing expenses. One such scheme is Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, under which financial assistance is given to eligible farmers every year. Under the scheme, Rs 6,000 is transferred directly to the bank account of farmers annually in three equal installments. Till now 21 installments have been released and crores of farmers have taken advantage of it. But every time a question arises whether those farmers who cultivate others’ land or work in the fields also get this money. In such a situation, let us now tell you whether farmers working in other’s fields also get money from Kisan Nidhi and what are its rules?

What is the eligibility for the scheme?

The most important condition of the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is related to land ownership. The government identifies beneficiaries on the basis of revenue records. That is, the farmer in whose name cultivable land is registered is considered eligible for this scheme. If a farmer does share farming and the land is not in his name, then under the current rules he will not get the benefit of Kisan Samman Nidhi. Even if he is farming diligently, the ownership of the land is not registered in his name. Till then he does not come under the scope of the scheme.

What is the condition of sharecroppers?

There are a large number of farmers in rural areas who grow crops on the land of others and in return give a part of the produce to the land owner. In common parlance, they are called sharecroppers. Although he does the farming work, the land documents are not in his name. This is the reason why they are not considered directly eligible for this scheme. However, if a sharecropper has even a small amount of land registered in his name, then he can avail the benefits of the scheme on the basis of his land. But completely landless farmers are not included in this scheme.

Which farmers get the benefit?

The benefit of this scheme is available to those people in whose name cultivable land is registered in the revenue records, small and marginal farmers, families whose main source of income is farming, whose bank account is linked to Aadhaar and e-KYC is completed, they will get the benefit of this scheme. The government’s process is completely record based. Therefore, it is necessary to complete formalities like transfer of land, land verification and e-KYC. At the same time, it is often claimed on social media that there is going to be a change in the rules or that sharecroppers will also be included. But no such change has been officially announced yet.
