Prime Minister Narendra Modi disbursed the 15th installment of Rs 18,000 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM KISAN) on November 15, 2023, during the ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas.’ This follows the issuance of the 14th installment, amounting to Rs 17,000 crore, on July 27. Under this initiative, eligible farmers receive Rs 2,000 in their registered bank accounts.
Launched on December 1, 2018, the PM Kisan Yojana addresses the agricultural needs of farmers. As part of this central government scheme, land-holding farmers receive an annual sum of Rs 6,000 in their bank accounts, distributed in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 every four months.
To be eligible for the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, individuals must be farmers with cultivable lands registered in their names. Exclusions from the PM-KISAN Scheme include state and central government employees, institutional landholders, as well as working or retired officers and pensioners receiving more than Rs 10,000 per month.
