What is the News?
The Union Agriculture Minister has launched the PM Kisan Mobile App.
What is the PM Kisan Mobile App?
PM Kisan Mobile App has been launched under the “Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi”.
The app enables beneficiary farmers under PM KISAN to complete their e-KYC process by just scanning their faces on mobile phones instead of using a one-time password or fingerprints.
Note: Until now, e-KYC of the PM-Kisan beneficiaries used to be done through either biometrics at a designated center or one-time passwords sent to mobile phone numbers linked with Aadhaar.
The app will also provide very important information related to the scheme and PM Kisan accounts to the farmers.
In this, farmers can know the status of land seeding, linking of Aadhaar with bank accounts and e-KYC using the No User Status Module.
