The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana Benefits 2023

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-Kisan Yojana) is a government scheme in India that offers minimum income support to small and marginal farmers. Under this program, eligible farmer families receive up to Rs 6,000 per year. The scheme is designed to benefit 125 million farmers in the country, irrespective of the size of their landholding.

The PM Kisan Yojana disburses this annual income support in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each, distributed every four months. Eligible families are defined as households consisting of a husband, wife, and their minor children. The Rs 2,000 assistance is directly transferred to the bank accounts of the farmers or their families. This initiative aims to provide financial stability to farmers and improve their livelihoods.
