Around 90 lakh 85 thousand farming families in Maharashtra have received financial assistance of approximately 1,817 crore rupees under the 23rd instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana. State Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharne shared this information while participating in a programme through video conferencing from Mumbai.
The minister said the timely release of funds has provided significant support to farmers ahead of the Kharif sowing season. He informed that nearly 41 thousand 83 crore rupees have been disbursed to eligible farming families in Maharashtra through the previous 22 instalments of the scheme.
