The disbursement of the 17th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN Nidhi) scheme was signed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. The action will disburse over Rs 20,000 crore, benefiting over 93 million farmers.On February 28, 2024, the 16th installment of the PM KISAN programme was made available.
The government we have is totally dedicated to the welfare of farmers, or Kisan Kalyan. Thus, it makes sense that the first file to be signed after assuming leadership concerns farmer welfare. In the future, we want to continue working even harder for farmers and the agriculture industry," Modi stated in a statement.
What is PM-KISAN Nidhi
A central government programme called PM-KISAN Nidhi was introduced in December 2018 with the goal of assisting farmers with their income by giving them Rs 6,000 in financial support each year. Through Direct Benefit Transfer, the funds are transferred into the beneficiaries' bank accounts in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 every four months. As of today, over 93 million farmers have received the 16th installment of the PM Kisan Yojana, worth Rs 2000.
