Children of farmers benefiting from the PM Kisan Yojana will receive ₹5,000 each; find out who is eligible and how to avail the benefit..

For farmers and agricultural laborers, bearing the cost of their children's higher education often becomes a major challenge amidst rising farming expenses. To ensure that the education of promising students is not interrupted due to a lack of funds, the government runs the 'Mukhyamantri Krishak Chhatravriti Yojana' (Chief Minister's Farmers' Scholarship Scheme). Under this scheme, eligible students are now provided financial assistance of ₹5,000 per month; previously, this scholarship amount was ₹3,000 per month.
