Varanasi, June 18: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in a PM Kisan Samman Sammelan in Varanasi on Tuesday.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will witness the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat and offer prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
PM Modi will stay overnight in Varanasi and proceed to Bihar on Wednesday morning, according to official sources.
On this occasion, Prime Minister Modi will release the 17th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, amounting to over Rs 20,000 crore, to approximately 9.26 crore beneficiary farmers through Direct Benefit Transfer.
