PM Modi Releases 19th PM-Kisan Payment Benefiting 9.8 Crore Farmers

The latest ₹22,000 crore installment under the PM-Kisan scheme aims to provide financial relief to small and marginal farmers across India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi disbursed the 19th installment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme on February 24, 2025, in Bhagalpur, Bihar.
The scheme provides ₹6,000 annually to eligible farmers in three equal installments, directly transferred to their bank accounts.
This installment transferred ₹22,000 crore to 9.8 crore farmers, bringing the total disbursed under the scheme to ₹3.5 lakh crore since its 2019 launch.
Common issues affecting implementation include discrepancies in land records, delays in fund disbursement, and complex grievance resolution processes.
Farmers must complete an e-KYC process to remain eligible, which can be done via the PM-Kisan website or mobile app using Aadhaar-linked verification.
