During the event, PM Modi will also grant certificates to over 30,000 self-help groups (SHGs) under the name of Krishi Sakhis and distribute certificates to five Krishi Sakhis as a symbolic gesture.

“This financial assistance will help farmers meet their agricultural and other ancillary needs.

By maintaining absolute transparency in registration and verification of beneficiaries, the Government of India has disbursed over Rs 3.04 lakh crore to over 11 crore farmers across the country. With this release, the total amount transferred to beneficiaries since the start of the scheme will far exceed Rs 3.24 lakh crore,” Chouhan said.

Several Union ministers will also visit 50 KVKs to interact with farmers and create awareness about various programs of the department. They will also distribute certificates to trained Krishi Sakhis of the region, he added.
