Real Story: A Farmer’s Experience from Belagavi
Meet Mr. Nagaraj, a farmer from Belagavi. His PM-KISAN payment was delayed due to Aadhaar linking issues. Instead of visiting the Tehsildar’s office, he used UMANG App to check the Aadhaar status and corrected it using Form-8. His payment was approved soon after.
