Prime Minister Narendra Modi has officially announced the release of the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, providing a fresh wave of financial support to millions of eligible farmers across the country.

The announcement was made during a public event aimed at reaffirming the government’s commitment to the welfare of India’s agricultural community.

With this release, more than Rs 18,000 crore is expected to be credited directly into the bank accounts of over 9 crore farmers. Each eligible farmer will receive Rs 2,000 under the income support scheme, which aims to provide small and marginal farmers with a financial cushion to manage input costs and daily agricultural needs.
