| Popis: | "The PM Kisan scheme enables to support the financial needs of all land holding farmers in order to purchase various inputs timely and ensure proper crop health and adequate yields. Keeping this in view, a study was conducted to analyse the economics of PM Kisan scheme for the 2020-21 Kharif season in Ri-Bhoi district of Meghalaya. Primary data on cost and returns of the paddy crop (main crop) were collected by interviewing the farmers through personal visits with the help of an especially structured and pre-tested schedule. From the cost and returns calculated, it was found that there was an increase of 2.14 per cent, 4.74 per cent and 8.71 per cent on the cost of cultivation, gross returns and net returns, respectively for beneficiaries than that of the non-beneficiaries in Kharif 2020-21. This shows farmer distress has reduced to extent and beneficiary farmers are willing to spend more for better returns. From the study it can be concluded that the beneficiary farmers are somewhat benefited from the PM-Kisan scheme" |
