New Delhi: Millions of farmers across the country are benefitting from the PM-Kisan Yojana or the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme. The flagship scheme of the Central government aims to provide financial support to landholding farmers and their families across the country. 

Under the PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmers receive Rs 6000 annually. The sum is credited directly to the bank accounts of eligible farmers in three separate installments of Rs 2000 each. 

Previously, the government had limited the eligibility to farmers having less than 2 hectares of land. However, the government has now allowed all small landholding farmer families to apply and receive the benefits under the Centrally sponsored scheme.
