Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 18th installment of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) through Direct Benefit Transfer to around 9.5 crore beneficiary farmers. He also addressed the Kisan Samman Sammelan at Washim in Maharashtra today, amounting to more than Rs 20,000 crores
With the release of the 18th installment, the total funds distributed under the PM-KISAN Yojana have now exceeded Rs 3.45 lakh crore. Since the scheme began, more than 11 crore farmers have benefited from this scheme. Each beneficiary farmer receives Rs 6,000 per year in three installments, helping them manage their agricultural needs and expenses.
Farmers who have not received their PM-KISAN installment can reach out to the helpline numbers 155261 or 011-24300606. To ensure they receive the payments, all farmers must complete their e-KYC, land verification, and Aadhaar linking.
Registered farmers can do their e-KYC through the official PM-KISAN website (https://pmkisan.gov.in) or by visiting a Common Service Center. Alternatively, they can complete the process from home using the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana Mobile App.
