PM Kisan Updates: The Central Government operates the PM Kisan Yojana to provide financial assistance to farmers. Under this scheme, the government transfers ₹6,000 annually to farmers in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each. This amount is transferred to farmers via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The Modi government has already transferred 23 installments under the PM Kisan scheme. Farmers are currently awaiting the 23rd instalment. However, no updates regarding the 24th instalment have yet been released. Four new changes have been introduced to the PM Kisan Yojana; let us look at these changes in detail.
