   INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT (Reddy)Published Jan 22, 2026Checked Oct 13, 2026

   “National beneficiary coverage increased from 30.27 million in 2018-19 to 92.11 million in 2023-24, reflecting a CAGR of 24.93%. However, significant inter-installment fluctuations emerged, with Installment-12 experiencing -18.17% decline. Total fund disbursement reached ₹2,81,194.46 crores over the period, with Uttar Pradesh consistently leading at 22.77% of national beneficiaries. Budget utilization improved from 31.61% in 2018-19 to 105.83% in 2024-25. Women beneficiaries comprised 19.99 million (21.71% of total) as of January 2024. Log-linear analysis revealed deceleration in growth rates post-2021-22, indicating maturation phase challenges. PM-KISAN demonstrates substantial outreach expansion but faces sustainability challenges including beneficiary verification issues, payment delays, and regional disparities. Enhanced monitoring mechanisms, improved data infrastructure, and targeted interventions for underrepresented states are essential for optimizing scheme effectiveness and ensuring inclusive coverage.”

   Awareness levels among beneficiary farmers of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi: An evaluation

   International Journal of Agriculture Extension and Social Development (G et al.)Published Aug 1, 2024Checked Oct 13, 2026

   “This study evaluates the awareness levels among beneficiary farmers regarding the PM-KISAN scheme and its impact on their socioeconomic conditions. Conducted in Telangana, India, with a sample of 120 farmers, the study uses an ex-post facto research design to assess socio-economic characteristics and awareness levels. The study reveals that farmers generally have a moderate level of awareness of the PM-KISAN scheme, with an average Mean Percentile Score (MPS) of 65.84%. Awareness is highest regarding basic aspects of the scheme, such as the benefit amount and payment process, but lower regarding specific details like eligibility cut-off dates and the PM-Kisan helpline. Key factors positively correlated with higher awareness include education, farming experience, and access to information sources, while age, extension contact, annual income, and risk orientation also significantly impact awareness levels. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve farmers' understanding and awareness of the PM-KISAN scheme, thereby enhancing support for the agricultural sector.”

   Knowledge Level of PM-KISAN Scheme among Beneficiary Farmers: Study in Fatehpur District of Uttar Pradesh, India

   Asian Journal of Agricultural Extension Economics & Sociology (Raghuvanshi & Jahanara)Published Jan 12, 2026Checked Oct 13, 2026

   “It was inferred from the research that 27.50 per cent of respondents exhibited a low level of knowledge about the scheme, while 40.28 per cent of total respondents, fell into the medium category. A significant portion 32.22 per cent demonstrated a high level of Knowledge. The findings suggest that 36.38 per cent of beneficiaries fully understood the scheme's purpose whereas 21.95 per cent of respondents were not aware that the scheme is centrally sponsored. A very small portion of the population i.e. 26.95 per cent of the population correctly recognised the responsibility of the state government in identifying the list of the eligible farmers. This trend indicates that although beneficiaries are availing the advantages of the PM KISAN scheme, there remains a lack of awareness regarding some basic aspects. Therefore, the government may consider implementing targeted awareness programmes to ensure a clear understanding of the scheme's components, eligibility criteria and available benefits, enabling farmers to utilize the scheme more effectively.”
