What is PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is a Central Government scheme launched in December 2018 to provide financial support to landholding farmers across India.

Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 every year in three equal instalments of ₹2,000.

The money is directly transferred to their bank accounts using the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.

Why PM Kisan Samman Nidhi ‘s 20th Instalment is Important for Farmers?

The 19th instalment was released in February 2025, and over 9.8 crore farmers—including 2.41 crore women—received direct aid of more than ₹22,000 crore.
