This study mainly investigates the actual impact of the key Indian government schemes—PM-KISAN, Crop Insurance (PMFBY), and Minimum Support Price (MSP)—on that of the socio-economic well-being of farmers in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Using a proper mixed-methods approach involving surveys of about 300 farmers and interviews with the government officials, the paper assesses the accessibility, awareness, and practical outcomes of these schemes. Findings suggest that while the PM-KISAN offers some of the immediate relief through direct income support, limited awareness and delayed payments hinder its effectiveness. Crop insurance actually uptake remains low due to that of the procedural complexities as well as a delayed claims, while MSP benefits areevry well skewed toward specific crops and regions. This particular study recommends policy modifications for that of the wider outreach as well as better targeting.
