The Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana of Madhya Pradesh gives state assistance over and above which central scheme?
- A.PM-KISAN
- B.Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
- C.PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana
- D.Kisan Credit Card scheme
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, PM-KISAN. Madhya Pradesh introduced the Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana in 2020 as a state top-up paid in instalments to farmers who are already eligible beneficiaries of the central PM-KISAN income support, so a farmer in the state receives both amounts and the state uses the central beneficiary list for verification. Option B, the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, is crop insurance against yield loss and works through premiums and claims, not income support. Option C, the PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana, is a contributory old-age pension for small and marginal farmers. Option D, the Kisan Credit Card, is a credit instrument that gives farmers short-term crop loans at concessional interest. Only PM-KISAN is unconditional income support, and that is why a state top-up can simply ride on it.
