P Kisan The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme is one of the top social welfare schemes run bythe  central government to benefit crores of farmers throughout India. Eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 as financial assistance annually, which is split into three equal Rs 2,000 installments. The objective of PM Kisan scheme is to put some money into small and marginal farmers to keep them away from high-interest loans.

On February 24, 2025, the central government disbursed the 19th installment of PM-KISAN, which credited over 9.8 crore farmers' bank accounts with over Rs 22,000 crore. Among the beneficiaries were 2.41 crore women farmers, which is noteworthy.

The 20th installment, which will be the second installment of 2025, is now the subject of growing anticipation. Although the government has not yet provided an official date, the next installment will likely be released in June 2025 based on the scheme's regular disbursement schedule, which is February, June, and October.

The PM-KISAN program was introduced in February 2019 with the goal of giving farmers direct income support by eliminating the need for middlemen through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). 18 installments totaling more than Rs 3.46 lakh crore have been disbursed to farmers thus far. However, the benefits are only available to farmers who own cultivable land.
