Prime Minister Narendra Modi today released the 21st installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana into the accounts of farmers across the country from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. On this occasion, Rs 316.38 crore was directly transferred to the accounts of 15.82 lakh farmers in Haryana.
A state-level function was organized in Palwal district, where Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini attended as the chief guest. Similar programs were held across all districts, attended by Cabinet Ministers, State Ministers, and Members of Parliament. The Prime Minister’s address was broadcast live during the events.

With this 21st installment, a total of Rs 7,233.74 crore has been disbursed to Haryana farmers under the PM-KISAN scheme so far.
In his address, Saini highlighted that Modi is consistently working to empower farmers and enhance their prosperity. He urged farmers to move beyond traditional farming, focus on value-added crops, establish farm processing units, adopt the farm-to-fork model, and promote agri-tourism and branding.
Saini said that Modi has emphasized four key pillars to achieve the vision of a developed India by 2047- farmers, the poor, women and youth. He highlighted that the prosperity of farmers—the first pillar—is crucial to realizing this vision. To achieve this, Haryana is continuously working to ensure the welfare of farmers and make agriculture a profitable sector. Under the visionary leadership of PM, Haryana is progressing rapidly towards the goal of a “Developed India – Developed Haryana.”
