Let us also tell you what kind of update has come out regarding PM Kisan Nidhi.
How much money has been given to the farmers
The Agriculture Minister said in a statement on Friday that the Prime Minister will release the 21st installment of PM-Kisan on November 19, 2025. Till now, an amount of more than Rs 3.70 lakh crore has been distributed to more than 11 crore farmer families of the country through 20 installments. Apart from purchasing essential agricultural items, this amount has also helped the farmers in meeting other expenses like education, medical treatment and marriage. The benefit of this scheme is being given to those farmers whose land details are registered on the PM-Kisan portal and whose bank accounts are linked to Aadhaar.
Farmers have received a lot of help from PM Kisan
The Center has also conducted various village-level special saturation drives from time to time to identify, verify and cover all cultivable land-owning farmers under the PM-KISAN scheme. A study has also been conducted in 2019 by the International Food and Policy Research Institute to study the impact of PM-Kisan scheme on the lives of farmers. The statement said the study clearly shows that funds distributed under the PM-Kisan scheme have acted as a catalyst for rural economic growth, helped reduce credit constraints for farmers and increased investment in agricultural inputs.
New initiative has been started
Under the PM-Kisan scheme, ensuring last mile access for farmers is of paramount importance. The statement said that in line with this, the Agriculture Ministry has started a new initiative to create a farmer registry. This well-organized and carefully vetted database will eliminate the need for farmers to go through complex processes to access social welfare benefits.
