The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a Centre-sponsored scheme to provide financial support to land-owning farmers’ families. Under the scheme, the beneficiaries receive Rs 6000 annually which is credited in three equal installments of Rs 2000 to their bank accounts. The scheme was announced in 2018 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
To receive the latest installment, farmers need to update their eKYC on the P
