‘PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras will be of tremendous help to farmers’

BJP Kisan Morcha State president V. Sashibhushan Reddy said the 1.25 lakh Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samriddhi Kendras (PMKSKs) scheduled to be dedicated to the nation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 27 would be of tremendous help to the farmers as seeds, fertilizers and pesticides were going to be made available under a single roof.

Besides, Mr. Modi would be launching the distribution of sulphur-coated urea branded as Urea Gold, which was more economical and efficient than neem-coated urea, and releasing the 14th instalment of about ₹17,000 crore into the bank accounts of 8.50 crore farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme in Sikar (Rajasthan). 

Over a period of time, the facility to submit applications for various schemes would be provided to the farmers at PMKSKs. The above three were among a host of schemes rolled out by the NDA Government for farmers in the last nine years, he stated.
