Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Overview

Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is the central government program that provides financial assistance to farmers and their families. The Telangana government first introduced the PM-KISAN scheme as the Rythu Bandhu scheme, in which the qualified farmers get a fixed sum directly. Later, during the 2019 Indian Provisional Federal Budget, Piyush Goyal confirmed that the program gets executed in every state.

On February 24, 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi initiated his PM-KISAN program in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. Every small farmer will receive 6,000 INR each year in three installments paid directly to their bank accounts under this scheme. The Federal Government will fund the total annual expenses of this program, which is expected to be 75,000 crores each year.

How did the PM-KISAN program start?

The Telangana government launched the Ryuthu Bandhu scheme in 2018. This initiative saw the state government disburse a set amount twice a year to farmers to help them invest in agriculture. This initiative was widely recognized and praised for its direct benefits to farmers.

In response, the Indian government launched a similar Farmer's Investment Support Scheme to provide financial assistance to farmers across the country. On December 1, 2018, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana went into effect. According to the government's initial announcement, this scheme will receive 75000 crore INR each year.
