PM Kisan 20th Installment to be Released on August 2, 2025
The 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme will be released on August 2, 2025. The main event will be held in Varanasi under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
Union Minister for Agriculture, Farmers’ Welfare, and Rural Development Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan chaired a high-level meeting to review preparations for the event and to ensure maximum outreach to farmers across the country.
He instructed officials to involve farmers at the national, state, district, and village levels and called for the event to be organized as a nationwide campaign. He also emphasized the importance of using grassroots-level workers such as Krishi Sakhis, Drone Didis, Bank Sakhis, Pashu Sakhis, Bima Sakhis, and village sarpanches to spread awareness about the event.
Shri Chouhan stated that engaging with farmers during this time about Kharif crops would be particularly beneficial.
Since the launch of the PM-KISAN scheme in 2019, a total of ₹3.69 lakh crore has been transferred to farmers through 19 installments. In the upcoming 20th installment, ₹20,500 crore will be disbursed to 9.7 crore farmers across India.
