Highlighting the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, Saini said, “The Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, started by our Prime Minister, is beneficial for farmers. Every farmer receives Rs 6,000 per year. 17 installments have been given to farmers till now.”
Earlier, Saini released a subsidy under the ‘Mukhya Mantri Dugdh Utpadak Protsahan Yojana’. He said, “As the time changed, in homes, the cow farming has reduced. Because of people like you, milk production is being established as employment in Haryana.” He added that Haryana is counted among the leading milk-producing states due to good quality and high milk-yielding animals.
