Later in the day, PM Modi will release the tenth instalment of financial benefit under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, said a PMO release.
This will enable the transfer of an amount of more than Rs 20,000 crore to over 10 crore beneficiary farmer families.
Under the PM-KISAN scheme, a financial benefit of Rs 6,000 per year is provided to the eligible beneficiary farmer families, payable in three equal four-monthly installments of Rs 2,000 each.
The fund is transferred directly to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries.
In this scheme, Samman Rashi of over Rs 1.6 lakh crore has been transferred to farmer families so far.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
