Under the PMKMY that promises small farmers pensions at age 60, eligibility for enrollment is between the ages of 18 to 40. However, out of an estimated 13 crore small farmers, only 5 crore fall within this age range, and merely 23 lakh have enrolled in the scheme. Additionally, enrollment under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana stood at only 42% for 2023-24, according to a PIB report, highlighting significant gaps in the implementation of farmer welfare schemes.
Further examination reveals that while the government has stopped recording farmers' deaths for the past eight years, it continues to promise enhanced agricultural outputs and reduced imports. Despite claims of policies designed to bolster agricultural exports and reduce imports, India remains the eighth largest global importer of agricultural products. Even the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana, which promised extensive irrigation projects, has shown underperformance.
These findings illustrate not only a disjunction between governmental rhetoric and actual implementation but also potential misrepresentations and violations of the intended agricultural policies, underpinning a pattern of unmet commitments and inadequate policy execution in the agricultural sector.
