Farmers are all set to receive the 10th instalment under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana by December 15, 2021. 

New Delhi: The Central government is all set to credit the 10th instalment under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana to all the registered beneficiaries by December 15, 2021, according to reports. 

For those uninitiated, registered farmers receive a monetary benefit worth Rs 6,000 every year in three instalments of Rs 2,000 each. The aim of the scheme is to provide a financial cushion to farmers, who are the backbone of the Indian economy.

However, besides the three instalments, the Central government also offers several other benefits to make the lives of Indian farmers a bit easier. For instance, the Central government offers farmer-focussed credit cards, pensions for farmers and farmer ID cards to ease their lives.
