Finance Minister said that the PMJDY has an expanded coverage of 67 per cent in rural or semi-urban areas.
Another FPO from Punjab told PM how they are disposing of the Parali without burning it. The FPO from Rajasthan talked about honey production.

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan requested CM Naveen Patnaik to personally intervene and ensure expeditious compliance of procedural formalities and help 40.5 lakh farmers of the state get the benefit of PM KISAN.
The cash benefit was transferred directly to their Aadhaar verified bank accounts with the press of a button.
Prime Minister will also release the sixth instalment of funds of Rs 17,000 crore to 8.5 crore farmers under the PM-KISAN scheme.
Centre mulls policy to ensure that farmers directly get benefits meant for them.
A consensus, rather than competition, between the Centre and States would ensure dovetailing of welfare schemes giving more bang for the buck. A realistic evaluation of existing welfare schemes is also required, so that modifications can be made wherever required and non-productive schemes can be axed.
