Prime Minister Kisan and crop insurance schemes will now be accessible via a new Digital Banking Tool launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Alwar, Rajasthan.
On Thursday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the Digital Banking Tool (DBT) for the PM-KISAN and crop insurance schemes in Alwar, Rajasthan. The launch was attended by local officials and farmers who were eager to see the new platform in action.
The DBT is designed to streamline the delivery of subsidies and insurance payouts directly to farmers’ bank accounts, reducing paperwork and ensuring faster disbursement. By integrating with existing banking infrastructure, the tool aims to make the schemes more accessible across rural areas.
Farmers in the region expect the new system to cut down on delays and administrative hurdles that have historically slowed payments. The government has highlighted that the DBT will also improve transparency and reduce leakages in the subsidy distribution process.
Shah’s launch was part of the broader push to digitise agricultural support schemes, reinforcing the government’s commitment to modernising farmer welfare programmes across the country.
