New Delhi, July 30: Millions of landholding farmers across India are preparing for the upcoming disbursement under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme. The central government is set to credit the next financial installment of INR 2,000 directly into the bank accounts of over 9 crore eligible beneficiaries via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Scheme Background and Overall Impact

Launched in February 2019, PM-KISAN represents one of the world's largest direct cash transfer initiatives. Since its inception, the central government has disbursed more than INR 4.27 lakh crore directly into the bank accounts of over 11 crore farmer families.

Independent assessments from policy institutions indicate that the timely income support has reduced farmers' reliance on informal high-interest loans, increased investments in seeds and fertilizers, and stabilized rural consumption across agricultural cycles.
