PM Kisan, PM Kisan 2024: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again extended vital financial support to farmers across the country by releasing ₹20,000 crore under the 18th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme. This latest installment directly benefits more than 9.4 crore farmers, with each receiving ₹2,000 in their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Under this scheme, farmers receive ₹6,000 annually, paid in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. The 18th installment, released today, adds to the ₹3.45 lakh crore already disbursed under the scheme, aimed at boosting agricultural income and ensuring financial stability for small and marginal farmers.
