PM-KISAN 20th Installment Released

The Government of India has successfully released the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme on 2nd August 2025 from Varanasi, providing crucial financial support to millions of farmers across the nation.

What is the PM-KISAN Scheme?

Launched in December 2018, PM-KISAN is a central sector scheme that provides income support of ₹6,000 per year to all landholding farmer families. This amount is distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 every four months, directly into the beneficiaries’ bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

This direct financial aid continues to play a pivotal role in ensuring the economic stability of small and marginal farmers, enabling them to invest in quality inputs and improve productivity.
