New Free Schemes November 2025 : On November, 02, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced new schemes worth over ₹42,000 crore for the farmers of India. Under this historic initiative, two major schemes — the Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhanya Krishi Yojana and the Dalhan Atmanirbharta Mission — were launched. These schemes aim to increase farmers’ income, make India self-reliant in pulses, and promote modern and sustainable agriculture.
Under these initiatives, farmers will receive free seeds, advanced technology, and better market access.
In addition, a major relief has been provided to ration card holders. Starting from November 10, 2025, under new rules, poor families will not only continue receiving free ration but will also get ₹1,000 per month as direct financial assistance transferred directly to their bank accounts.
Furthermore, the Uttar Pradesh Government has launched a Free Driving License Scheme for Women, under which women applying by November 10 will receive their driving licenses without any fee.
