PM Modi To Inaugurate Kisan Samman Sammelan On Monday, Over 1 Crore Farmers To Attend Virtually And In Person

PM Kisan Samman Sammelan 2022: The event brings together over 13,500 farmers from across the country, as well as approximately 1500 Agri Startups.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the two-day PM Kisan Samman Sammelan 2022 on Monday at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in New Delhi. According to an official release, more than 13,500 farmers from across the country, as well as approximately 1,500 agro entrepreneurs, will attend the event.

More than 1 crore farmers from various institutions are expected to attend the event virtually. Researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders will also be present at the Sammelan, the release read further. 

The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for 600 Pradan Mantri Kisan Samruddhi Kendras (PMKSK) under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers. According to the statement, the scheme will gradually convert the country's fertiliser retail shops into PMKSK.

It stated that PMKSK will cater to a wide range of farmer needs and will provide agri-inputs (fertilisers, seeds, implements); testing facilities for soil, seeds, and fertilisers; raise farmer awareness; provide information on various government schemes, and ensure regular capacity building of retailers at block/district level outlets.

PMKSK will be converted into over 3.3 lakh retail fertiliser shops.

The Prime Minister will also launch Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana — One Nation One Fertilizer during the event.

The Prime Minister will launch Bharat urea bags under the scheme, which will assist companies in marketing fertilisers under the single brand name 'Bharat.'

The Prime Minister would release the 12th instalment amount of Rs16,000 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi through direct benefit transfer during the event, reflecting the Prime Minister's continued commitment to the welfare of farmers, according to the statement.

The scheme provides eligible farmer families with a benefit of Rs6,000 per year in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 each. Under PM-KISAN, eligible farmer families have received benefits totalling more than Rs 2 lakh crore.

The platform would allow startups to interact with farmers, farmer-producer organisations (FPOs), agri-experts, corporations, and other stakeholders. In technical sessions, startups will share their experiences and interact with other stakeholders.

During the event, the Prime Minister will also launch 'Indian Edge,' an e-magazine on fertiliser, according to the statement. It will include information on domestic and international fertiliser scenarios, such as recent developments, price trend analysis, availability and consumption, and farmer success stories, among other things.
