Ahead of the 24th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, the agriculture department in Darbhanga has intensified its efforts. A significant number of eligible farmers in the district still have pending Farmer Registry IDs, a matter of serious concern for the administration.

During a review meeting held at the Ambedkar Auditorium in the Collectorate, chaired by District Magistrate Kaushal Kumar, it was revealed that approximately 24,000 eligible beneficiaries from Bahadurpur, Kewati, Singhwara, and Darbhanga blocks have pending Farmer Registry IDs. The District Magistrate has issued strict instructions to officials to complete the IDs for all eligible farmers by October 15.

He directed agriculture and revenue officers to prepare a panchayat-wise action plan within a week and launch a campaign. Each farmer advisor will identify missing farmers in their area and collect their applications to expedite the registration process. Circle Officers and revenue staff will carry out the rectification (amendment) of pending applications in a time-bound manner. The DM emphasized that delays in application correction should not hinder ID generation. Senior officials will review panchayat-wise progress daily and personally inspect work in the field.

The 23rd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme was released on June 20, 2026, benefiting over nine crore eligible farmers. Farmers are now awaiting the 24th installment. Under the scheme, farmers receive a total of six thousand rupees annually in three installments. Installments are typically released at an interval of approximately four months, and four months after the 23rd installment will be completed in October. Therefore, the 24th installment is likely to be released in October, although no official announcement has been made yet. Assistant Collector Kalpana Rawat and District Agriculture Officer Dr. Siddharth, along with other officials, were present at the meeting.
