abstract
PM- KISAN scheme is a central sector scheme launched in December 2018 and implemented from February 2019 to provide income support to Small and Marginal farmers. There are very less number of study reports on PM-KISAN impacts as this is a new scheme; therefore, a study is required to find out the attitude of farmers towards PM-KISANY scheme to obtain the feedback of the scheme. Hence, a study was conducted to access the attitude of farmers towards PM-KISAN Yojana. The present study was carried out in Dindigul, Theni and Erode district of Tamil Nadu. The study revealed that 62.00 per cent of the insured farmers belonged to medium level of attitude followed by high (23.33 per cent) and low (13.67 per cent) level of attitude towards Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi. By improving awareness campaigns, ensuring inclusive coverage, and addressing issues with land records will helps the beneficiaries to use the PM-KISAN assistance entirely.
