The scheme was launched on 1 December 2018, and it aims to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers. Under the scheme, farmers are provided with an annual income support of \u00e2\u0082\u00b96,000 per year, which is transferred directly to their bank accounts in three equal installments.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme is a major initiative of the government to address the issue of rural distress. It is expected to benefit over 12 crore farmers in the country. The scheme has been well-received by farmers, and it has been credited with improving their financial condition.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option b) Crop insurance is not provided under the PM-KISAN scheme.
