The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) yojana was launched to bolster the income of the Small and Marginal Farmers (SMFs). Effective on December 01, 2018, the PM-KISAN yojana aims to fuel the financial needs of the SMFs in procuring various inputs to ensure proper crop health and appropriate yields, commensurate with the anticipated farm income at the end of each crop cycle.
The government has distributed over ₹3.46 lakh crore under the scheme so far. Over 11 crore farmers have benefited from 18 instalments. The farmers are awaiting the 19th instalment, which is expected to come by the end of February 2025 as per various news reports. However, to receive this 19th instalment, farmers must complete the mandatory Farmer Registry.
Farmers can easily register for the PM KISAN Yojana through various methods:
The government’s decision to implement the Farmer Registry is designed to prevent land fraud and promote transparency. By registering, farmers will enable authorities to track land ownership, simplifying access to services and reducing the risk of fraud. Additionally, the registry will enhance the accessibility and efficiency of government schemes for farmers.
