This will help farmers become self-sufficient and lessen the ongoing financial crisis they face.
Farmers are our country’s backbone. Hence, empowering them and making them financially stable is essential. To fulfil this objective, the government has launched various schemes for their benefit. One such initiative is the PM Kisan FPO Yojana, whereby efforts are being made to pay off farmers’ debt.
Under the scheme, the government has set a target to form 1,000 groups by the year 2023-24. The scheme will provide financial assistance to these farmers to set up agri-business along with farming. This will help farmers become self-sufficient and lessen the ongoing economic crisis they face.
