PM Modi Narendra Modi has released the 18th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana. The scheme was launched in 2018 by the NDA government and it aims to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers across India, offering much-needed support for their agricultural activities and household expenses.
Through this scheme, eligible small and marginal farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually, distributed in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 each. Each instalments are directly transferred to their farmer’s bank accounts using the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism.
Notably, PM Kisan is a Central Sector scheme with 100 per cent funding from the government of India. It is important to note that approximately 9.25 crore farmers received a payment of Rs 2,000, resulting in an additional 25 lakh farmers becoming beneficiaries.
This scheme aims to provide income support to small and marginal farmers throughout India. Farmers owning up to 2 hectares of land are eligible for benefits under the program, with funds being directly transferred to their bank accounts to ensure timely assistance.
