Mumbai, Sep 9
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday launched the seventh instalment of the 'Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Kisan Yojana', under which a total of Rs 1892.61 crore will be transferred to the bank accounts of 91,65,156 farmers in the state.
In Maharashtra, the eligible farmers covered under these two schemes receive Rs 12,000 annually.
In this seventh instalment, the subsidy for the period from April 2025 to July 2025 was given to the beneficiaries. The subsidy will be important for farmers due to the damage caused by heavy rainfall.
“Through this scheme, financial assistance is provided to farmers every year. So far, the aid amount has been deposited directly into the accounts of lakhs of farmers in the state through six instalments. After the seventh instalment is distributed, the number of these beneficiaries will increase further. The scheme is strengthening the economy of rural areas,” the minister said.
