PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana: Fulfilling the Anticipation of the 16th Installment
The eagerly awaited 16th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is set to be released by Prime Minister Modi on February 28th. This monumental initiative by the central government aims to benefit nearly nine crore farmers, providing them with an annual grant of ₹6,000.
November Disbursement: 15th Installment
The funds, released in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, were disbursed in November. The previous installment, credited on November 15, 2023, injected ₹18,000 crore into the accounts of over 8 crore farmers. For those who faced challenges in receiving the 15th installment, and have now completed the necessary procedures, there is hope for an additional ₹4,000 in their accounts.
