PM Modi Unleashes Rs 18,000 Crore For Farmers: 15th Instalment Of PM-Kisan Scheme Rolled Out

In a major boost to the farming community, Prime Minister Narendra Modi disbursed the 15th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme during his visit to Jharkhand on November 15, 2023. The scheme, designed to provide direct financial assistance to farmers, saw over Rs 18,000 crore being transferred to the accounts of more than 8 crore beneficiaries.

The PM-Kisan scheme, a cornerstone of the government's commitment to the welfare of farmers, grants eligible farmers a Rs 2,000 instalment per cycle. The recent disbursement takes the cumulative amount transferred to farmers' accounts to an impressive Rs 2.62 lakh crores over 15 instalments.
