PM-Kisan: Over 2.15 crore UP farmers to get ₹4,314cr boost

India Nov 18, 2025

On Wednesday, 2,15,323 farmers in Uttar Pradesh will see a fresh cash transfer land directly in their bank accounts, thanks to the latest round of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme.
Prime Minister Modi is rolling out this ₹4,314.26 crore installment from Coimbatore, aiming to give a timely financial lift to those working the fields.

Why it matters for UP's farmers

This support isn't just a one-off—UP farmers have already received over ₹90,000 crore through earlier installments.
Each eligible family gets ₹6,000 per year split into three payments, which helps many small and marginal farmers keep their farms running and incomes steady.
The scheme has become a key part of making agriculture more resilient in the state.
