"In Dhubri district, 73,757 farmers also received the amount under Pradhan Mantri Kishan Sanman Nidhi directly to their accounts without any hassles and cuts. This was one of the best examples of good governance being observed on the birthday of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee," Talukdar said.
