The Narendra Modi government had spent a whopping ₹71 lakh crore on farmers’ welfare, agriculture and allied sectors in the last 11 years, said Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar.

Over ₹3.89 lakh crore had been credited to the bank accounts of nearly 9.7 crore farmers across the country through direct benefit transfer (DBT) mode since the launch of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, Mr. Sanjay said.

Speaking at a meeting held on the occasion of PM Kisan Utsav Diwas in Choppadandi town of Karimnagar district on Saturday, the Union Minister said these landmark Central schemes bear testament to Modi government’s commitment to welfare of farmers.

Later, Mr. Sanjay handed over bicycles to Class X students of government schools in Choppadandi mandal at a programme held on the premises of the Government Boys High School in the mandal headquarters town.
