The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme has disbursed a total of ₹4.27 lakh crore in direct financial assistance to farmers across India, marking a significant milestone in the government’s efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector.
The initiative provides income support to eligible farmers through direct benefit transfers, ensuring timely financial aid to help meet agricultural and household needs. Officials said the scheme reflects the government’s continued focus on farmer welfare and rural development.
Launched to supplement the income of small and marginal farmers, PM-KISAN has played a key role in providing economic stability to millions of farming families. The programme has also contributed to improving access to resources required for agricultural productivity.
Authorities highlighted that the scheme aligns with the broader vision of building a self-reliant and developed nation, where farmers remain central to economic growth and food security.
With continued fund transfers and expanded outreach, PM-KISAN remains one of the largest direct income support programmes for farmers globally, reinforcing India’s commitment to strengthening its agricultural backbone.
