On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a significant move by transferring the 19th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi into the bank accounts of crores of farmers from Bhagalpur district in Bihar. This amounted to a whopping Rs 22,000 crore, which was distributed among 9.8 crore farmers, including 2.41 crore female farmers, through the Direct Benefit Transfer system.
This latest installment of the PM-KISAN scheme is a clear indication of the government's unwavering dedication to the betterment of rural areas and agricultural growth. It serves as a reminder of the government's commitment to uplifting the lives of farmers and promoting prosperity in the agricultural sector.
The previous installment, the 18th one, was handed out by the Prime Minister himself in Washim, Maharashtra, back in October 2024. This event alone benefitted over 9.4 crore farmers across the country, with a total financial aid of more than Rs 20,000 crore.
Since its launch in February 2025, the Modi government has disbursed a staggering amount of Rs 3.46 lakh crore in 18 installments of the flagship program. This is a testament to the government's determination to support and empower farmers.
Earlier in the day, PM Modi took to social media to emphasize the government's commitment towards the welfare of farmers. He expressed his pride in the hardworking Annadatas of our nation and highlighted the efforts made by the government to improve their lives.
In his post, he wrote, "We are proud of our Annadatas and our commitment to improve their lives is reflected in the efforts highlighted in the thread below." It is heartening to see the Prime Minister acknowledging the hard work and dedication of our farmers.
He also expressed his delight on the occasion of the 6th anniversary of the PM-KISAN scheme, which has been successful in catering to the needs of crores of people with continuous support. The fact that Rs 3.5 lakh crore has reached the accounts of farmers so far is a cause for celebration.
In an earlier post, PM Modi congratulated all the farmer brothers and sisters across the country on completing 6 years of PM-Kisan. He expressed his satisfaction and pride in the fact that this scheme has provided respect, prosperity, and strength to our food providers. It is a clear indication of the government's efforts towards the welfare of the farmers and their families.
