On May 31, Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed the 11th payment of financial assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) programme. PM Modi distributed over Rs 21,000 crore to over 10 crore farmer families who benefited from the transfer.

PM Modi introduced the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Scheme in 2019. Subject to specific exclusions, the Scheme attempts to offer income support to all landholder farmer families in the nation who own cultivable land.

A total of Rs 6000 is paid to recipients under the Scheme in three equal instalments of Rs 2000 every four months, directly into their bank accounts. PM Kisan instalments are awarded three times during a fiscal year: during Period 1 from April to July, Period 2 from August to November, and Period 3 from December to March.
