    Agriculture, with its allied sectors, is the largest source of livelihood in India. About 70 per cent of the rural households in India depend primarily on Agriculture for their livelihood and 86 per cent of the Indian farmers are small and marginal. Adoption of new technologies is one of the promising approaches for increasing and sustaining the income of farm families but lack of information and lack of credit are the prominent constraints in technology adoption. Hence, government has taken many measures since independence till date to strengthen the agriculture sector and to sustain the income of the farmers. The government has established a number of initiatives in the agriculture sector to help farmers by increase their production and improve their financial status. In spite of all these attempts, there is a need for holistic approach to tackle the crisis of farm sector. This condition, has finally led to introduction of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, or (PM-KISAN) in December 2018 by the Government of India.
