Abstract

The population which has more farmers that economy usually depends on primary sector. In such circumstances, obviously there are many obstacles for the development of the country. Due to family issues and drawbacks of the land reforms the land fragmentation was raised and simultaneously that enhanced the amount of Small and Marginal Farmers (SMFs). Those farmers have lots of issues for their usual agronomic practices, to eradicate such problems the PMKISAN scheme was launched in December 1st 2018. The study intends to analyse the utilisation pattern of scheme benefit and to evaluate the socio-economic condition of the beneficiaries in the study area. The study used both descriptive and inferential statistics research methods to interpret the gathered information and found that most of the SMFs have been utilising the scheme financial benefit in productive way and still the scheme required to enhance the socio-economic condition of Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe (SC/ST) beneficiaries rather than the others.
