About PM Kisan Nidhi Scheme

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna, a government initiative in India, provides farmers with up to ₹6,000 annually as minimum income support. This scheme was announced during the 2019 Interim Union Budget. Under this initiative, ₹6,000 is distributed to all farmers in three installments each year. To date, millions of farmers have benefited from the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna. The objective of this scheme is to provide income support to farmer families across the nation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the scheme during his 2018-2019 interim budget speech. Initially proposed to benefit 12 crore farmer families, it was later extended to cover all 25 crore farmer families in the country.

Benefits Under The Scheme

  • The PM Kisan Yojna offers income support of ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmer families, disbursed in three installments of ₹2,000 each every four months.
  • Its objective is to assist eligible farmers in meeting their agricultural input expenses, thereby alleviating financial strain and enhancing their economic stability.
  • By providing a steady income stream, the PM Kisan Yojna contributes to poverty reduction among farmers, enabling them to fulfill their basic necessities and enhance their quality of life.
  • Moreover, the scheme has the potential to stimulate economic growth by bolstering the purchasing power of farmers, resulting in increased demand for goods and services and benefiting various sectors of the economy.
