The 13th installment of PM-Kisan is expected to be released soon, and it is good news for farmers who are eagerly waiting for the installment. The installment is expected to benefit over 9.5 crore farmers across the country.
The government has already disbursed 12 installments under the scheme, and the total amount disbursed to farmers is around Rs. 1.25 lakh crore. The 13th installment will further boost the income of farmers and help them to cope with the ongoing pandemic.
