Launched in September 2019 for small and marginal farmers.
Voluntary contributions are matched by the central government.
Minimum guaranteed pension is 3,000 rupees per month at age 60.
Survivor benefit gives the spouse 50% of the pension if the farmer dies.
Enrollment reached roughly 2.5 million farmers by February 2026.
Farmers aged 18 to 40 can voluntarily save money, and the government adds the same amount.
When they reach 60 years old, they receive at least three thousand Indian rupees each month.
If a farmer dies after receiving the pension, the spouse gets half of that amount.
By early 2026, about 2.5 million farmers across several states had joined the plan.
