Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 22nd instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme today, March 13, at 5 PM from Guwahati, Assam. This scheme, implemented by the Government of India, provides direct financial assistance to landholding farmers, aiming to improve their economic stability and support agricultural activities. Each eligible farmer family receives Rs 2,000 per instalment, with three instalments disbursed each year, totalling Rs 6,000 annually.

So far, 21 instalments have been successfully released under the scheme, benefiting millions of farmers across India.

Farmers can check the status of their PM-Kisan payment through the official PM-Kisan portal.

About the PM-Kisan Scheme:
Launched in 2019, PM-Kisan is a central sector scheme that aims to provide regular income support to small and marginal farmers in India. The scheme ensures that funds are transferred directly into beneficiaries’ bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism, removing intermediaries and reducing delays. By providing timely financial assistance, the scheme helps farmers meet essential expenses, including seeds, fertilisers, irrigation, and household needs, thereby contributing to overall rural development and agricultural productivity.

The scheme has been widely appreciated for its role in strengthening farmer welfare, especially in regions facing crop failures or financial stress. Government reports indicate that millions of farmers have benefited from PM-Kisan since its inception, with the scheme also contributing to increased financial inclusion by encouraging farmers to maintain active bank accounts.

With the 22nd instalment, the government continues its commitment to supporting India’s farming community, particularly small and marginal farmers, who form the backbone of the country’s agricultural sector. Farmers and stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed about instalment dates, payment verification procedures, and eligibility requirements to ensure seamless receipt of benefits.

This instalment release is part of the broader effort by the Indian government to provide continuous financial relief and support to farmers, reinforcing the objective of sustainable agricultural growth and economic stability in rural India.
