PM Modi to release 'PM Kisan' 17th instalment on June 18: Check details

PM-Kisan is a direct benefit transfer initiative under which beneficiary farmers receive an annual sum of Rs 6,000 in three equal instalments.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to release the 17th instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana on 18 June 2024. This move is expected to benefit over 93 million farmers across the country, with a total outlay of around Rs 20,000 crore. The announcement was made by Union Agriculture and Farmer Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday.

 

"Agriculture has always been a priority for the PM in his last two tenures. He took several key decisions in the interest of farmers. After taking oath as PM, Modi ji first signed a file related to the release of the 17th instalment of the PM-Kisan scheme," Chouhan said.

 

 

PM Modi will also grant certificates to more than 30,000 self-help groups designated as Krishi Sakhis after the release of the 17th instalment of the PM-Kisan scheme. The event will be organised by the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare in coordination with the government of Uttar Pradesh.
