In Maharashtra, 96,811 farmers were denied aid under the 'Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi Yojana' because their bank accounts and Aadhaar numbers were not linked, revealed State Agriculture Minister Dhananjay Munde during Thursday's legislative assembly session in Nagpur, stated a report in PTI. 

According to the report, the scheme was launched by the state government to provide financial assistance to farmers, supplementing the amounts distributed by the Centre's Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
