On June 18, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 17th installment of the PM Kisan Nidhi Yojana from Varanasi. This significant event aims to directly benefit over 9.26 crore farmers across India by transferring more than ₹20,000 crores into their bank accounts.
Event Details
Prime Minister Modi will be accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, along with several other ministers. The event will witness the participation of more than 2.5 crore farmers, who will join from various agricultural centers, including 732 Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), over 1 lakh Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies, and 5 lakh Common Service Centers.
Significance of the 17th Installment
This installment marks the first distribution of funds to farmers’ accounts after the Lok Sabha elections. PM Modi’s visit to Varanasi will include a farmers’ conference where the direct benefit transfer (DBT) will be carried out, ensuring the funds reach the farmers’ bank accounts seamlessly.
