How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- PM-KMY is a voluntary and contributory pension scheme for small and marginal farmers.
- Farmers aged 18 to 40 years can enrol, and the Centre matches their monthly contribution.
- The scheme assures a monthly pension of Rs 3,000 after the age of 60.
- The scheme is administered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II Welfare schemes and GS-III Agriculture: small and marginal farmers lack old-age income security, so PM-KMY offers a contributory pension with Central matching. After seven years, the implication is to judge enrolment, retention and the adequacy of a fixed Rs 3,000 pension against inflation. The way forward is wider awareness, easier auto-enrolment through PM-KISAN and periodic indexation of the pension.
