Overview of the PM-KISAN Scheme
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is a government initiative launched in February 2019 aimed at providing financial aid to farmers throughout India. This program specifically targets small and marginal farmers, offering them an annual financial support of ₹6,000, distributed in three installments of ₹2,000 each, directly deposited into their bank accounts. The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare oversees the implementation of this scheme in collaboration with state governments.
