The Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi Yojana is a state scheme by the Maharashtra government. It gives financial help to farmers in the state.
The main benefit is ₹6,000 per year, given in three parts of ₹2,000 each.
The money is sent directly to your bank account in April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December.
This scheme works together with the PM Kisan Yojana. You must be a PM Kisan beneficiary to get Namo Shetkari benefits. The scheme helps farmers buy seeds, fertilizers, and cover other farming costs.
