Abstract:

PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi was introduced as a union government funded scheme in year December 2018 to

help farmers purchase various agricultural inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, etc. Payment disbursement under the scheme started from February 2019. It provides each eligible farmer’s family an amount of 6000 Rupees (`) per year in three installments of ` 2000 each. Initially, farmers who had less than 2 hectares (ha) of land were eligible

were covered under the scheme; subsequently, in the beginning in June 2019, the scheme was extended to all

farmers which accounted for about 140 million across India. In India, more than half of its farming households

do not had access to formal credit system. In such situation, introduction of cash transfer scheme (Pradhan

Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, or PM-KISAN) in December 2018 to ease the liquidity constraints of Indian farmers

for farmers for procuring inputs is quite salient. This paper analyses the impact in the change in consumption

pattern of farmers who have been benefited from the Scheme in Jammu region. It also elaborated the changes

in consumption of agri-inputs for the production of local paddy in remotely located border out post (Indo-Pak

border) villages in R.S Pura sector.
