The  PM-KISAN scheme is one of the largest DBT Schemes in the World.

A farmer-centric digital infrastructure has ensured the benefits of the scheme reach all the farmers across  the  country  without  any  involvement  of  the  middlemen.  Maintaining  absolute  transparency  in registering and verifying beneficiaries, the Government of India has disbursed over Rs 2.81 lakh Cr to more than 11 Cr farmers in 15 instalments since inception including in the State of Rajasthan.
