Farmers in Tripura have received over ₹45 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, marking the disbursement of the 20th installment of the financial assistance. The funds were directly credited to the bank accounts of 2.84 lakh farmers across the state.
The disbursement took place as part of a special programme held at the State Agricultural Research Centre in Arundhatinagar, Agartala, aligning with a national event in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi formally launched the 20th installment nationwide.
Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha attended the state-level event and participated in a symbolic transfer ceremony. He praised the PM-KISAN scheme as a transformative initiative for the farming community. Chief Minister Saha publicly stated that “The direct transfer of ₹45.43 crore into the accounts of 2.84 lakh farmers in Tripura reflects the strong commitment of both the central and state governments towards farmer welfare, digital governance, and transparent public service.” He further emphasised that the scheme has not only eased the financial burden on small and marginal farmers but has also boosted confidence in the government’s ability to deliver timely and corruption-free benefits.
The PM-KISAN scheme, launched in 2019, provides ₹6,000 annually to eligible farmers in three equal installments, aiming to support agricultural expenses and improve financial stability. The successful digital transfer of this installment highlights the efficiency of the system and the government’s focus on empowering farmers across India.
