Lucknow, Nov 25 (TIWN) UP Chief Secretary R K Tiwari has asked all district magistrates in Uttar Pradesh to ensure that the anomalies in the data of farmers is rectified by November 30 so that the beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi(PM-KISAN) scheme can start getting their dues from December 1.
Discrepancies in the data have led to problems in the implementation of PM-KISAN scheme, which guarantees income support of Rs 6,000 per annum to eligible farmers. A large section of farmers, estimated to be around 1.3 crore, have been left out due to data problems. The chief secretary's letter points out that the information of 1.11 crore farmers in UP, uploaded on the centre's portal, is incorrect. Names of the farmers, mentioned on the portal, do not match with the name written on their Aadhaar cards.
