Lucknow, Oct 30: Over 2.24 crore farmers in Uttar Pradesh are set to receive direct financial support as Prime Minister Narendra Modi releases the 24th instalment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi from Banaskantha, Gujarat. A single electronic transfer will dispatch more than ₹18,680 crore to 9.34 crore agriculture-dependent households nationwide.
Under the scheduled disbursement, ₹4,482.19 crore will be deposited into the bank accounts of Uttar Pradesh beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer. Administrative records indicate that the latest credit brings the cumulative funding provided to the state’s agricultural community to ₹1,07,943.95 crore since the flagship initiative was inaugurated in Gorakhpur on February 24, 2019.
Government representatives affirmed that the ongoing support mechanism ensures consistent economic stability for rural families. Eligible agricultural households receive annual assistance totaling ₹6,000, distributed in three equal tranches directly to designated primary beneficiaries.
Official figures maintained that institutional welfare allocations to Uttar Pradesh have expanded steadily across recent fiscal years. State disbursements reached ₹15,594.74 crore during 2024–25 and ₹13,727.85 crore in 2025–26, with the latest tranche following an earlier release from West Bengal.
