The farmers in the age group of 18 to 40 years are eligible for this scheme and they must register their names in the Common Service Centres, established in every village and must pay Rs 55 to Rs 200 according to their age.

After attaining 60 years of age, these farmers will get a pension of Rs 3,000 per month through Life Insurance Company.
