On May 31, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 11th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) program's financial benefits. Over 10 million beneficiary farmer families received a remittance from Modi of over Rs 21,000 crore.
PM Modi introduced the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Scheme in 2019. Subject to specific exclusions, the Scheme attempts to offer income support to all landholder farmer families in the nation who own cultivable land.
A total of Rs 6000 is paid to recipients under the Scheme in three equal instalments of Rs 2000 every four months, directly into their bank accounts. PM Kisan instalments are credited three times during a fiscal year: during Period 1 from April to July, Period 2 from August to November, and Period 3 from December to March.
