PM-KISAN's twenty-fourth instalment reaches more than 3.5 million Odisha farmer families
30 October 2026
Odisha held a State-Level PM-KISAN Utsav in Bhubaneswar to mark the release of the scheme's twenty-fourth instalment.
More than 3.5 million farmer families in the State received the money.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the instalment virtually from Banaskantha in Gujarat.
The money went into farmers' bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer.
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi attended the state-level event and addressed it.
PM-KISAN pays income support to landholding farmer families in instalments through the year, sent straight to their accounts.
Holding a state-level Utsav alongside the Prime Minister's release is how states mark each instalment of the scheme.
In plain words
PM-KISAN Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi — The Centre's income support scheme that pays landholding farmer families in instalments through the year.
DBT Direct Benefit Transfer — Paying a government benefit straight into the beneficiary's bank account instead of through an intermediary.
