A Father’s Relief: How ₹2,000 Brought Light Back to Our Fields
It was morning in a village near Ballia, Uttar Pradesh. My father was sitting at the edge of the charpai, staring at his phone expectantly. His eyes welled up not from sadness, but from relief. “Aaya hai beta… paisa aagaya,” he said, showing me the SMS from the government. The 20th installment of PM Kisan Yojana had just hit his account—₹2,000, directly deposited. To many, this amount may seem small. But for him, it meant seeds for the next sowing season, payment for fertilizers, and hope renewed.
What Is PM Kisan Yojana and Why Is the 20th Instalment Special?
The Indian government’s key program, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, gives qualified farmers ₹6,000 , split into three payments. In April 2025, the 20th payment went out, keeping up this money support. It uses Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to send funds. This method is clear, fast, and works well to make sure farmers get help when they need it.
This year’s release comes at a crucial time just before the kharif sowing season. It’s not just money; it’s an assurance from the nation that our farmers are not alone.
