The Central Government has released the latest installment under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN), bringing relief to millions of farmers across India.

On Friday, Narendra Modi transferred ₹2,000 directly to the bank accounts of beneficiaries as part of the 22nd installment of the scheme.

Under the initiative, the government transferred over ₹18,640 crore to more than 93.2 million farmer families through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
