The objective of PM-KISAN is to supplement the financial needs of all landholding farmer families in the country. It aims to augment their income, allowing them to procure various agricultural inputs and take care of domestic expenses, thereby ensuring their continuance in farming activities.
The scheme is a Central Sector Scheme, fully funded by the Government of India.
