PM Modi to release ₹18,000cr for farmers under PM-KISAN this Thursday

India Nov 19, 2025

This Wednesday, PM Modi is heading to Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu for a packed day.
The big highlight: he'll release ₹18,000 crore as part of the PM-KISAN scheme, directly helping nine crore farmers across India.
It's the 21st time this financial support is being rolled out.

What else is happening?

Modi will kick off his trip in Puttaparthi by honoring Sathya Sai Baba's birth centenary with a special coin and stamp.
Later in Coimbatore, he'll open the South India Natural Farming Summit, which runs November 19-21 and focuses on sustainable farming without chemicals.
For context: the PM-KISAN scheme gives farmers ₹6,000 a year straight to their bank accounts—a steady boost since 2019.
