PM Kisan Funds Unchanged: Farmers Disappointed as 22nd Installment Nears

• Central government allocated Rs 63,500 crore for PM-KISAN in the 2026-27 budget, same as previous year.
• Annual financial assistance to farmers remains Rs 6,000, paid in three installments of Rs 2,000 each.
• The 22nd installment is expected in the last week of February, following the 21st installment on November 19.
• Farmer organizations express dissatisfaction, citing insufficient aid against rising production costs.
• Demands to increase aid to Rs 9,000-12,000 were ignored in the budget, leading to rural discontent.
