PM KISAN 24th Instalment Odisha is an important initiative aimed at providing financial assistance to farmers across the state. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi said that the development and economic prosperity of farmers would drive the overall development of Odisha. He made this statement while attending a state-level PM-KISAN programme at Krushi Shiksha Sadan of Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) in Bhubaneswar.

PM-KISAN 24th Instalment Released to Farmers

The financial assistance under the 18th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme has been transferred to farmers’ bank accounts. More than 35.38 lakh eligible farmers in Odisha have received financial assistance of Rs. 2,000 each through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), amounting to a total of Rs. 707.10 crore.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the distribution of the assistance virtually from the national-level programme held in Banaskantha, Gujarat, on Friday. Across the country, more than 9.74 crore farmers received a total of Rs. 18,690 crore.

The PM-KISAN 24th Instalment is an important step towards providing financial support to eligible farming families and strengthening the agricultural sector.

Government Takes Steps to Ensure Every Eligible Farmer Benefits

The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had introduced several initiatives from the very beginning of his tenure to ensure that farmers receive their rightful benefits. The Odisha Government has also taken special measures to ensure that not a single eligible farmer in the state is deprived of the benefits of the scheme.

He advised farmers to visit their nearest revenue or agriculture office and complete their registration on the AgriStack portal without delay.

According to the Chief Minister, the PM-KISAN scheme has played an important role in supporting farmers financially and helping them meet agricultural expenses.

CM-KISAN Scheme Provides Additional Financial Support

He further stated that alongside the Central Government’s PM-KISAN scheme, the Odisha Government is implementing its own CM-KISAN scheme using state funds.

Under this scheme, small and marginal farmers in Odisha receive Rs. 4,000 annually, while landless agricultural households are provided with Rs. 12,500 as livelihood assistance.

The state government is implementing these initiatives to improve the economic condition of farmers and provide additional support to agricultural families.

Krushi Vidya Nidhi Scheme Supports Higher Education

The Chief Minister also highlighted the Krushi Vidya Nidhi scheme, which provides scholarships for the higher education of daughters of CM-KISAN beneficiaries.

Under this initiative, financial assistance is provided to eligible students pursuing medical, engineering, agriculture and other related technical courses. The scheme aims to encourage higher education and create better opportunities for students from farming families.

Compensation Assured for Farmers Affected by Heavy Rainfall

Referring to crop damage in several districts due to continuous rainfall, floods and post-cyclone rainfall, the Chief Minister assured farmers that the government would stand by them during difficult times, regardless of the challenges.

He said that damaged crops would be assessed and appropriate compensation would be provided to affected farmers as soon as possible in accordance with government rules.

The Chief Minister also interacted directly with farmers from different parts of Odisha and discussed their concerns and agricultural challenges.

Deputy Chief Minister Highlights Farmers’ Welfare

Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo stated that several significant schemes, including PM-KISAN and CM-KISAN, had been successfully implemented in Odisha for the overall welfare of farmers.
