The industry chamber, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has welcomed the government’s move to extend Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme to all the farming households in India as a historic decision. It also claimed that no other central government has taken such a huge step for prosperity of farmers in the country.
FICCI also informed that the government has announced over Rs 10,000 crore pension scheme for five crore farmers, thereby fulfilling the BJP's poll promise. It believes that Indian agriculture is yet to realise its full potential and welcomes the government’s resolve to address challenges in the sector in a comprehensive manner. It added that direct income transfer is recognised as one of the most effective ways of targeting support to the farm sector.
The industry chamber supports a gradual shift from loosely targeted input subsidies to direct benefits transfer to enable farmers to make choices in expenditure based on local priorities and exigencies. He also said 'we urge the Prime Minister to follow up this excellent decision with further reform measures in a time bound manner to kick start a virtuous cycle of growth and value addition in the agriculture sector.
