What is PM Kisan?
PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a flagship government scheme that provides direct income support of ₹6,000 per year to eligible small and marginal farmers in India. The amount is credited directly into beneficiaries’ Aadhaar-linked bank accounts in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, every four months.
