Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit West Bengal on June 20-21 to launch a slate of central agriculture schemes, release the 23rd instalment of the PM-KISAN income-support program, and commission three indigenously built warships, he said in a series of posts on X.
The visit centers on the Paschim Banga Divas celebration in Tarakeswar, Hooghly district, a town Modi linked to Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee. From Tarakeswar, Modi will release the latest PM-KISAN tranche, which directly transfers cash to farmer bank accounts. The scheme covers roughly 140 million beneficiaries nationally.
Alongside the income-support release, Modi said the government would launch the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana crop insurance program, the Agri Stack digital platform under the Digital Agriculture Mission, the National Mission on Natural Farming, and the Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana. The bundle targets West Bengal's large smallholder farming base, where crop insurance penetration and digital land-record access remain low relative to other states.
On June 21, Modi will attend International Yoga Day events in Kolkata, then proceed to a commissioning ceremony for three warships: INS Dunagiri, INS Sanshodhak, and INS Agray. All three are indigenously designed, the prime minister said, reinforcing the government's push for self-reliance in naval construction. The commissioning adds to a pipeline of domestically built surface combatants and survey vessels under the Navy's 15-year modernization plan.
The visit comes as the BJP seeks to expand its political footprint in West Bengal, where the ruling Trinamool Congress has dominated since 2011. Modi's last major trip to the state was in March for a series of infrastructure inaugurations. The agriculture scheme launches target a rural electorate that forms the core of the state's voting base.
West Bengal's farm sector employs roughly 60% of the state's workforce but has lagged in direct-benefit transfer adoption and crop insurance coverage compared to states like Gujarat and Maharashtra. The PM-KISAN release and the bundled scheme launches are designed to close that gap, though state-level implementation depends on cooperation with the West Bengal government, which has previously clashed with the Centre over data-sharing for Aadhaar-linked benefit transfers.
