The Union government will disburse Rs 707.86 crore to 35.39 lakh farmers in Odisha under the 24th instalment of the PM-Kisan scheme on Friday, 30 October.

Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo will attend an event at OUAT Krushi Shiksha Sadan in Bhubaneswar to mark the distribution.
Nationally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the instalment at an event in Bhildi, Gujarat, says Livemint. The total disbursal is over Rs 18,680 crore, expected to benefit more than 9.34 crore farmer families. Beneficiaries receive Rs 6,000 per year in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000. The government has made e-KYC and Aadhaar seeding of bank accounts mandatory, farmers who have not completed these will not receive the payment.
