PM Kisan Registration: New Farmer Apply Online

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) is a program initiated by the Indian Government to provide income support to the families of landholding farmers across the country.

This Central Government Yojana is designed to offer financial assistance to farmers for purchasing inputs related to agriculture and allied activities, as well as fulfilling their domestic needs. The yojana extends support to all landholding farmer families who own cultivable lands, and is fully funded by the Government of India.

The primary objective of PM-Kisan is to supplement the financial needs of farmers and help them procure necessary inputs to ensure better crop health and yield. Under the scheme, eligible farmer families are identified by the respective State Government and UT administration, and the funds are transferred directly to their bank accounts.

PM Kisan Launch Date

On 1 December 2018, an informal launch of a scheme took place. However, it was formally launched on 24 February 2019 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur district.

PM Kisan Eligibility Criteria

The current land ownership system is used to identify beneficiaries, ensuring that only those who meet the criteria are eligible for the program.
