Good News on the Way
Farmers across India have a reason to smile. The government is set to release the 21st installment of the PM Kisan scheme this August. Under this popular program, small and marginal farmers get Rs 6000 every year, split into three parts of Rs 2000 each. This time, the money will go straight into their bank accounts. Many farmers are waiting eagerly for this help, which comes at a good time for buying seeds or paying off small debts.
What is PM Kisan All About
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, or PM Kisan, started in 2019 to support farmers with low incomes. It gives direct cash to families who own up to two hectares of land. So far, crores of farmers have got this aid, helping them with farming costs. The scheme runs smoothly with money sent every four months. April to July, August to November, and December to March are the usual periods. This 21st round keeps the promise of steady support.
When and How Much
The 21st installment is expected around mid-August. Each farmer will get Rs 2000 in their Aadhaar-linked bank account. No need to run to offices or fill extra forms if details are updated. The government uses DBT, or Direct Benefit Transfer, to make sure money reaches without middlemen. Last time, the 20th installment came in April, and now this one follows the schedule.
To know more, here is a simple table showing the last few installments:
| Installment Number | Month Released | Amount (Rs) |
|---|---|---|
| 18 | October 2024 | 2000 |
| 19 | January 2025 | 2000 |
| 20 | April 2025 | 2000 |
| 21 | August 2025 | 2000 |
Who Can Get This Money
Not all farmers qualify. You must be a small landowner, not a big farmer or someone with high income. Families where someone pays income tax or holds a government job are out. But for those who fit, it’s easy. Register on the PM Kisan website or at local offices. Keep Aadhaar, bank details, and land papers ready. Many states help with camps to fix any issues.

Why This Matters Now
With rising costs of fertilizers and unpredictable rains, this Rs 2000 is a big help. Farmers in villages say it covers small expenses like diesel for tractors or school fees for kids. The scheme has reached over 11 crore farmers so far, boosting rural economy. Government says more improvements are coming, like linking with other aids. This installment in August will bring joy during the monsoon season when farming work picks up.
Looking Ahead
The PM Kisan scheme shows the government’s care for farmers. As India grows, such programs keep the backbone strong. Farmers hope for even more support, maybe higher amounts in future. For now, this 21st installment is a timely boost. Stay tuned to official sites for exact dates and avoid fake news. Happy farming ahead!
