In a powerful display of commitment to India’s agrarian backbone and the strategic development of the Northeast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ignited a new era of prosperity from the heart of Guwahati. With a single click, he released the 22nd installment of the PM-KISAN scheme, an emotional and financial lifeline that saw over ₹18,640 crore flow directly into the bank accounts of 9.32 crore farmer families. This milestone includes support for more than 2.15 crore women farmers and pushes the scheme's cumulative impact to a staggering ₹4.27 lakh crore. This further reinforced the government's promise of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas."
