“The CM Kisan Yojana is going to start from the sacred Nuukhai. Before Kharif and Rabi crops, eligible beneficiaries can avail financial assistance of Rs 4,000 in two instalments through DBT,” read the post in Odia. 

The state government has granted a budget of Rs 1935 crore for the yojana. During the previous BJD government, farmers were receiving this financial assistance under the KALIA Yojana.

Agriculture Minister KV Singh Deo recently informed the House that the eligible farmers who were not covered under the PM Kisan Yojana will be included under the CM Kisan Yojana.
