🔍 What is CM KISAN Scheme?

The CM KISAN Scheme is Odisha’s state-level financial assistance program for farmers, designed to complement the central PM-KISAN Yojana. The state government provides ₹4,000 annually, disbursed in two equal installments of ₹2,000, directly into the bank accounts of eligible farmers.

This is in addition to the ₹6,000 annual benefit provided under the PM-KISAN scheme, also disbursed in three installments of ₹2,000. Combined, this offers ₹10,000 per year, helping farmers meet their input costs such as seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, and family needs.
