PM Kisan: Farmers to get Rs 15 lakh financial assistance, know how and where to apply

New Delhi: The central government offers financial support to farmers through Farmer Produce Organizations (FPOs), which is on the lines of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna. Under this PM FPO scheme, farmers are being given assistance of up to Rs 15 lakh from the central government so that they can start a business related to the agriculture sector. 

Small and marginal farmers do not have economic strength to apply production technology, services and marketing including value addition. Through formation of FPOs, farmers will have better collective strength for better access to quality input, technology, credit and better marketing access through economies of scale for better realization of income.
