If you are also waiting for the next instalment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan 19th instalment), then this news is for you. The government has made a big announcement for farmers. Now, under the PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmers will receive financial assistance of up to Rs 9,000 per year. Yes, the amount has been increased by Rs 3,000.
However, this decision has not been made by the central government but by the state government. Now, the big question is—which state government has made this decision? The answer is Rajasthan. The Rajasthan government has taken this step to support farmers by increasing their benefits under the scheme.
Rajasthan Government to Give Additional Rs 3,000 to Farmers
Rajasthan Finance Minister Diya Kumari made this announcement while presenting the state budget. She stated that while the PM Kisan Yojana provides farmers Rs 6,000 annually from the central government, the Rajasthan government will now add Rs 3,000 more.
Rajasthan Farmers Will Get Rs 9,000 Annually
Currently, under PM Kisan Yojana, farmers receive Rs 6,000 per year. But now, farmers in Rajasthan will get an extra Rs 3,000, bringing the total amount to Rs 9,000 per year. This initiative, included in the Rajasthan Budget 2025-26, is expected to bring major improvements in the agriculture and irrigation sector of the state.
