What is Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN)<\/strong>\u00a0is a central government scheme that provides eligible farmers with direct income support of \u20b96,000 per year. This amount is distributed in three equal installments of \u20b92,000 each, directly credited to the beneficiaries\u2019 bank accounts. The scheme was introduced in December 2018 and officially launched in February 2019, with the first installment paid in December 2018 itself.<\/p>\n

The primary goal of PM-KISAN is to supplement the financial needs of farmers, enabling them to invest in seeds, fertilizers, and other agricultural inputs. It also aims to reduce their dependency on informal credit sources, which often charge exorbitant interest rates.<\/p>\n
