During the visit, the Prime Minister will also take part in various agricultural programs and unveil multiple state development projects.
What is PM Kisan Yojana?
Launched in February 2019, the PM Kisan Yojana aims to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers. The scheme ensures that the Rs 6,000 annual aid is directly deposited into farmers' bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, ensuring transparency and eliminating intermediaries. The scheme primarily targets landholding farmers and helps them meet various agricultural needs. This financial support is divided into three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each.
The 18th installment was released on October 5, 2024, benefiting more than 9.4 crore farmers. Although the exact date for the 19th installment is not yet confirmed, farmers are advised to complete their e-KYC to receive the amount on time.
