Hyderabad: Union Minister Kishan Reddy underscored the Centre’s robust farmers assistance through the PM-KISAN scheme and fertilizer subsidies during the 20th instalment fund release at Yacharam, Rangareddy district.
He announced that ₹20,500 crore had been transferred to nearly 10 crore farmers as the 20th PM-KISAN instalment. Under this scheme, farmers receive ₹2,000 every four months directly into their bank accounts. Farmers assistance is therefore consistent, transparent, and timely via government transfers.
Kishan Reddy explained that the Central Government provides subsidies of ₹2,236 per bag of urea and ₹2,422 per bag of DAP. For a farmer using two bags of each on one acre, the total subsidy exceeds ₹9,300. This support ensures fertilizer access without financial strain.
He noted that fertilizer prices have surged globally in countries like the US and Australia. Yet farmers assistance under PM Modi’s leadership has prevented price shocks in India. He said transparent labelling on fertilizer bags now informs buyers of price and subsidy details.
Kishan praised the government for shielding farmers from international price volatility. By subsidising key inputs and maintaining pricing transparency, the Centre ensures the agriculture sector remains resilient and self-reliant.
