Dhanteras is bringing more than just festive shine this year — it’s bringing relief and happiness to the farmers of Rajasthan. Under the Chief Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, farmers will receive an additional ₹1,000 in their accounts on Dhanteras (Saturday).
This bonus comes in continuation of the Central Government’s Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN), ensuring that the hands that feed the nation also get the respect and support they deserve.
What This Means for Farmers
Every year, farmers receive ₹6,000 from the Central Government’s PM-KISAN scheme, given in three installments of ₹2,000 each.
Now, with the Chief Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi, the State Government adds another ₹3,000 per year — paid directly into farmers’ bank accounts through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer).
That means together, farmers in Rajasthan are now receiving ₹9,000 annually in total assistance — ₹6,000 from the Centre and ₹3,000 from the State.
Dhanteras Event in Bharatpur
To celebrate this meaningful step, the State Government is organizing a grand program on Dhanteras, at 2:00 PM in Nadbai, Bharatpur district.
According to Vinod Kumar Kothari, Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies, this event will mark the release of the additional ₹1,000 amount. Thousands of farmers are expected to benefit directly through this transfer.
He said the initiative shows the state’s ongoing commitment to improving rural income, reducing farmer distress, and strengthening the agricultural economy.
Why This Matters
For many farmers, Dhanteras isn’t just about gold or silver — it’s about hope and gratitude. An extra ₹1,000 may not sound big to everyone, but for small and marginal farmers, it’s the difference between worry and relief.
It helps cover small needs — buying seeds, repairing a tool, or simply managing festive expenses with dignity.

Festivals are meant to bring smiles — and this Dhanteras, the government’s decision to credit an extra ₹1,000 does just that. It’s a reminder that the backbone of our nation — our farmers — deserve to celebrate prosperity, too.
