Nationwide PM-KISAN Saturation Campaign Launched
What Happened
The Ministry of Agriculture launched a month-long nationwide saturation campaign on May 1, 2025. It targets the inclusion of eligible farmers in the PM-KISAN scheme by completing pending e-KYC, Aadhaar-bank seeding, and land record verification before the 20th instalment.
Why It Matters
The drive ensures zero-leakage through 100 percent DBT coverage, strengthening the social safety net for small and marginal farmers.
