PM Releases 21st PM-KISAN Instalment, Transfers Nearly ₹18,000 Crore to 9 Crore Farmers

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the disbursal from Coimbatore, with the event live-streamed nationwide and mirrored by state-level programmes.
  • Uttar Pradesh will receive ₹4,314.26 crore for over 2.15 crore farmers, Rajasthan ₹1,332 crore for 66.62 lakh, and Gujarat about ₹986 crore for 49.31 lakh beneficiaries.
