Observational analysis shows 81.6% of farmers are aware of government schemes, indicating social media's role in information dissemination.
Agriculture is the backbone of India's economy, and the government has launched many schemes to support farmers and boost agricultural growth. However, despite these efforts, many farmers remain unaware of these schemes and are unable to benefit from them. To bridge this knowledge gap, a study was conducted to investigate the level of awareness among farmers about government schemes and to identify the sources of their information. The study revealed that only 81.6 % of farmers are aware of the available schemes. Social media is the most popular source for farmers to learn about new agricultural schemes, reflecting its importance in spreading awareness and providing timely information to the farming community. The study highlighted the need for proper education and training to empower farmers to take full advantage of these schemes and improve their lifestyle. By addressing the awareness gap and providing farmers with the necessary knowledge and skills, the government can ensure that its schemes are effective in promoting agricultural growth and development.
