A.D. NAGAR: A programme was organised today at the State Agricultural Research Centre, A.D. Nagar, to mark the release of the 23rd instalment of PM-KISAN for the period April 2026 to July 2026.
Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, along with Minister Ratan Lal Nath and other dignitaries, attended the event, which saw the disbursement of financial assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme aimed at supporting farmers across the state. The Chief Minister and other leaders highlighted the scheme’s role in providing direct income support to farmers, helping ease their financial burden and boost agricultural productivity.
