End Note
The PM-KISAN scheme was introduced with a view to augment the income of the Small and Marginal Farmers (SMFs). The scheme seeks to meet the financial needs of the SMFs to supply different inputs to ensure proper crop quality and sufficient yields at the end of each crop cycle, in accordance with the planned farm income. It will also prevent them from slipping into the clutches of moneylenders to cover these expenses and ensure their continuity in the farming activities.
