In a major boost to rural incomes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 22nd installment of PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi during an event in Guwahati, Assam.
Over 9.32 crore farmers received ₹2,000 each directly into their bank accounts, including a significant 2.15 crore women beneficiaries.
This latest Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) marks a milestone, pushing the total scheme disbursement past the ₹4.27 lakh crore mark. Under this initiative, eligible families receive ₹6,000 annually in three equal installments.
Following the 21st installment in November 2025, this fresh infusion of capital aims to support farmers during the current cropping season.
The steady rollout—moving from ₹22,000 crore in early 2025 to the current release—underscores the government's commitment to sustaining agricultural growth and financial security for India's food providers.
