Prime Minister Narendra Modi disbursed the 15th instalment of the scheme worth over ₹18,000 crore to more than 80 million farmers. The initiative has already disbursed over ₹2.62 lakh crore across 14 instalments into farmers' accounts.
Last month, it was reported that the Central government has initiated an expansive saturation campaign in response to farmer grievances registered under the PM-KISAN initiative. However, sources caution that the scheme may never achieve a 100% saturation level of landowners because of various exclusion criteria defined in the operational guidelines, according to a CNBC-TV18 report.
