Introduction:
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a recently launched cash transfer scheme. To allay some misgivings of the agrarian distress, the vulnerable landholding farmer families, having cultivable land up to 2 hectares, will be provided direct income support at the rate of ? 6,000 per year.
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) aims at enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.
Farmers’ distress needs urgent attention but one need to analyse if the PM-KISAN is a reasonable solution.

Comparison between PM-KISAN and MGNREGA:

Conclusion:
It is in some of these contexts that strengthening an existing universal programme such as the MGNREGA would have been a prudent move instead of introducing a hasty targeted cash transfer programme. At a time of such acute distress, there is a need to the Central government to improve the existing universal infrastructure of the MGNREGA before plunging into a programme pretending to augment farmers’ income.
