PM Kisan scheme marks continuity of Modi’s conviction, commitment: Dr. Jitendra Singh

Dr. Jitendra Singh said, “PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme marks the continuity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s conviction and commitment,” today in Jammu.

In his address at a programme held at SKUAST here to telecast PM Narendra Modi’s virtual grant of fresh instalment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, “There is a certain pattern of continuity with deep commitment and conviction with which Prime Minister Modi follows each of his initiatives.”

Describing PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme as one such distinct example, Dr. Jitendra Singh recalled that the scheme was launched by PM Modi in his first term i.e. Modi Govt 1.0 on 2nd of February 2019. Since then, he said, regular programmes of similar nature were held for timely grant of the instalments to the needy farmers and the process continued over the second term of PM Modi i.e. Modi Govt 2.0 and is now also seen in third term of Modi Govt 3.0 with the first function happening within just one month of the swearing in of the government for the third term.

Dr. Jitendra Singh said, as the name indicates, the amount transferred to the accounts of the needy farmers is not only a means of providing financial support but it is also an expression of the society’s respect and acknowledgement of farmer as “Annadata’ and therefore the scheme has been appropriately named as Kisan “Samman” Nidhi scheme.
