Headline: PM Modi to Release 21st Installment of PM-KISAN Scheme, Benefiting Millions of Farmers

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to release the 21st installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme on Wednesday, continuing the government’s direct financial support to farmers across the country. Under the scheme, eligible farmer families receive ₹6,000 annually, distributed in three installments of ₹2,000 each, directly into their bank accounts.

According to a government statement released on Friday, the PM-KISAN program has already provided ₹3.70 lakh crore to over 11 crore farmer families nationwide.

The government emphasized the role of digital fintech technology in the efficient and transparent implementation of PM-KISAN. The Aadhaar-linked system ensures that benefits reach the intended recipients directly. E-KYC verification of bank accounts, a dedicated mobile app, and the Kisan-e-Mitra platform have also played a crucial role in reaching farmers. To ensure timely delivery of social welfare benefits, the government has also established a farmer registry.

Launched on February 24, 2019, the PM-KISAN scheme aims to provide financial assistance to landholding farmer families. Recognizing the importance of addressing farmer grievances, the government has made complaint registration and resolution available on the PM-KISAN portal and the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS).

Furthermore, a Kisan-e-Mitra chatbot has been introduced to provide quick solutions to farmer queries, overcoming language and technology barriers. The chatbot is available in 11 major Indian languages, including Hindi, English, Tamil, Bengali, Odia, Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi, Telugu, Marathi, and Kannada. This allows farmers to access information and resolve issues in their preferred language, improving accessibility and understanding.
