PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana: Another big fraud has come to light in the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, where thousands of ineligible farmers have wrongly availed installments of two thousand rupees through online registration. On completion of the verification process by the Agriculture Department, 53,000 farmers have been found ineligible, who have availed benefits of Rs 43 crore by mistake. The Revenue Department has released the list of these ineligible farmers, from whom the recovery work is yet to be done.
forgery through online
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana was launched in 2018, whose installments started getting benefits from 2019. The benefit of this scheme is given only to small and economically weaker sections of farmers having 2 hectares or less land.
On this lines the number of farmers kept increasing year by year. During this time e-KYC and land verification was not mandatory, so many ineligible farmers raised installments of two thousand rupees against the rules.
During the 11th installment, many such fake cases started coming to the fore, in which, despite being ineligible, many farmers got themselves registered online and took advantage of the installments. The names of several groups are coming in this work, who used to charge an installment of Rs 2,000 in return for registering the farmers.
Agriculture Department disclosed
The Agriculture Department had issued instructions for Aadhaar seeding and land verification long back in Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh. During the long-running verification, the Agriculture Department asked Patwaris to update the list of eligible farmers through Aadhaar and Land Seeding.
After the administration, when the list reached, it was found that 53,000 ineligible farmers of the district have wrongly taken advantage of the amount of 43 crores. Another such case came 2 years ago, when 17,000 farmers committed fraud of 25 crores, but so far only 12 lakhs have been recovered from these farmers. After two years, the number of fraudsters has also increased.
Will do door-to-door recovery
Regarding the forgery in Raigad district, officials of the Agriculture Department say that due to the earlier registration through online medium, many ineligible farmers had also joined the PM Kisan scheme. Now ineligible are being identified in e-KYC and land record verification. Now the officers and Patwari of the Agriculture and Revenue Department will go door-to-door to recover from these farmers.
