Around 7.34 lakh ryots in Andhra Pradesh have not yet been enrolled in the central PM‑KISAN cash‑transfer scheme, according to The New Indian Express.
The New Indian Express reports that about 7.34 lakh ryots in Andhra Pradesh remain outside the beneficiary list of the PM‑KISAN scheme, a central government programme that provides direct cash assistance to small and marginal farmers.
The shortfall highlights the ongoing challenge of reaching the entire target population, even as the state government continues its enrollment drive across districts.
Officials have said that efforts are being intensified to identify and register the remaining eligible farmers, aiming to ensure that the full quota of beneficiaries receives the promised financial support.
The gap in enrollment also raises concerns about the timely disbursement of funds for the upcoming agricultural season, prompting calls for greater coordination between state authorities and local agricultural offices.
Stakeholders, including farmer groups, are urging the administration to accelerate outreach and simplify the registration process to close the enrollment gap before the next payment cycle.
