I would like to share with you a bill that has been passed only for our state of Kerala. This is a farmers welfare fund after the Kisan Samman fund. All the farmers in Kerala will get the benefit of this farmers welfare fund.
We can available various benefits from this farmers welfare fund. This benefit is available to those who own 5 cents to 15 acres of agricultural land. There are about 8 types of benefits available.
It was passed in the Assembly on November 21 ,2019 Those who have worked in the agricultural sector for 3 years are eligible for this benefit.
Those who have own agricultural land and those who have cultivated on lease are considered. This included medicinal plants ,animal husbandry ,nursery and fish farming.
As the age of 60, the pension amount will reach our hands. If they are woman farmers , they provide assistance for their children. People between the ages of 18 and 55 can become members of this scheme. The registration fee is Rs.100. You have to pay a small share. The state government will also pay an equal amount for the welfare fund of these farmers.
