What Is the PM Kisan Scheme?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi is a flagship welfare scheme launched by the Indian government in 2019. Its goal is to provide financial support of ₹6,000 per year to small and marginal farmers. The amount is split into three equal installments of ₹2,000 each and is credited directly into the beneficiary’s bank account.
