What is Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana?

PM-KISAN is a central government scheme launched by the Honourable Prime Minister in February 2019, with implementation starting on December 1, 2018. The scheme aims to provide financial support to landholding farmer families across India, subject to certain exclusion criteria, to help them cover expenses related to agriculture, allied activities, and household needs.
