Rs 3,000 monthly pension for small farmers

The manifesto promised Rs 3,000 monthly pension for all small farmers under PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana. PM-KMY is an active central scheme and PIB describes it as a voluntary and contributory pension scheme for eligible small and marginal farmers aged 18 to 40, with minimum assured pension of Rs 3,000 per month after attaining age 60. This matches the pension amount and broad beneficiary category, but not the manifesto wording of all small farmers because the scheme is voluntary, contributory, age-gated and subject to exclusion criteria. No approved-source evidence was found that Madhya Pradesh has universalised the pension beyond the central scheme design. The verdict is partial. Budget: PM-KMY has central funding, but no MP-specific allocation or utilisation proving universal small-farmer coverage was found.
