**Will PM Modi Announce PM Kisan 20th Installment in Bihar Tomorrow?**

**New Delhi, July 17:** Millions of Indian farmers are on high alert as speculation mounts regarding the release of the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) Yojana. The scheme provides farmers with ₹6,000 annually, distributed in three installments of ₹2,000 each.

Numerous media outlets have reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may announce the release of the long-awaited installment during his scheduled visit to Motihari, Bihar, on July 18th. The Prime Minister is expected to inaugurate ₹7100 crore worth of development projects in the region, including initiatives in IT, railways, and road infrastructure.

“Preparations are complete,” sources within the government told Jagran, “and the Prime Minister will announce the 20th installment as soon as he finds time.”

An official confirmation is expected today, July 17th, if the announcement is indeed scheduled for tomorrow.

Farmers are reminded to ensure they have completed their e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) verification and have linked their bank accounts to their Aadhaar numbers. Failure to do so could result in delays or non-receipt of the installment. Farmers can complete their e-KYC online or by visiting their nearest bank branch. Required documents for Aadhaar linking include an Aadhaar card photocopy, address proof (such as a utility bill), and a copy of the bank passbook.

The PM Kisan Yojana is a crucial source of financial support for small and marginal farmers across India, and the release of the 20th installment is keenly anticipated.
