After 27 years, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made a comeback in Delhi by winning the 2025 assembly elections. The party has defeated the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and Rekha Gupta has become the new Chief Minister of Delhi. Even before forming the government, BJP had announced several welfare schemes for the people of Delhi, including major benefits for farmers.
Farmers in Delhi to Get ₹9000 Under PM Kisan Scheme
Earlier, during the AAP government, farmers in Delhi received ₹6000 per year under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-Kisan). However, the new BJP government has now decided to increase this amount by ₹3000, bringing the total benefit to ₹9000 annually. This decision will provide financial relief to farmers and help them improve their agricultural activities and income.
Rajasthan Government Also Giving Extra Benefits
Not just Delhi, but farmers in Rajasthan are also receiving additional benefits. Under the PM-Kisan scheme, farmers in Rajasthan get ₹6000 from the central government. Additionally, the Rajasthan state government provides an extra ₹2000, making the total benefit ₹8000 annually. While Delhi farmers are now getting ₹9000, Rajasthan farmers receive ₹8000 per year.
How This Benefit Will Help Farmers?
The increase in financial assistance under the PM-Kisan scheme will help farmers in:
- Purchasing better seeds, fertilizers, and equipment.
- Managing expenses for irrigation and other farming activities.
- Reducing financial stress and improving their overall standard of living.
A Step Towards Farmers’ Economic Growth
This move by the Delhi and Rajasthan governments is aimed at empowering farmers financially. The extra financial aid, combined with the PM-Kisan benefits, will boost agricultural productivity and increase farmers’ income. With more states focusing on such benefits, farmers across India may soon get higher financial support from their state governments as well.
Conclusion
The BJP’s decision to increase farmers’ financial aid in Delhi is a significant step towards economic development in the agricultural sector. Similar initiatives in Rajasthan show that state governments are actively working to support farmers. This additional help will encourage farmers to invest in better farming practices and improve their overall financial stability.
