Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 19th instalment of the PM-KISAN scheme at Bhagalpur, Bihar on Monday.
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has raised alarm over alleged large-scale misappropriation of funds under the PM-KISAN Yojana in Assam citing findings from a recent Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report.
In his address at a programme held at SKUAST here to telecast PM Narendra Modi’s virtual grant of fresh instalment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, Dr Jitendra Singh said, there is a certain pattern of continuity with deep commitment and conviction with which Prime Minister Modi follows each of his initiatives.
After being sworn in as PM for the third time, Mr Modi signed his first file authorising release of the 17th instalment of PM Kisan Nidhi reflecting the commitment of the government towards farmer welfare.
The installment amount will be released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday during the inauguration of the "PM Kisan Samman Sammelan 2022" at Indian Agricultural Research Institute here.
An annual financial benefit of Rs 6,000 is provided to eligible beneficiary farmer families, payable in three equal four-monthly installments of Rs 2,000 each, under the PM-KISAN scheme.
Assam Congress President Ripun Bora claimed that the state government has also not yet been able to identify the five lakh beneficiaries under the PM-KISAN scheme from the selected list as there is no existence of these five lakh farmers.
The instalment will enable the transfer of more than Rs 19,000 crore to over 9.5 crore beneficiary farmer families.
She also announced 1.5 crore jobs in the next five years. She asked why the Union government has yet not disbursed any cash benefit to these eligible beneficiaries under the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna.
