<h1>PM-KISAN: Over 10 Million Farmers Benefit from Rs. 2,021 Crore Direct Transfers via Digital India Initiative.</h1> The PM-KISAN Scheme, launched by the Prime Minister on February 24, 2019, in Uttar Pradesh, aims to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmer families with land holdings up to 2 hectares. Eligible farmers receive Rs. 6,000 annually in three installments of Rs. 2,000 each. The scheme's first installment of Rs. 2,021 crore was successfully transferred to over 10 million farmers across 24 states and union territories via the Public Finance Management System (PFMS). This system ensures transparent, digitally authenticated direct benefit transfers without manual intervention. The rapid implementation underscores the government's commitment to the Digital India initiative.
