Hello,
Unfortunately, there’s no way to add the news_keywords meta tag within Rank Math settings.
However, you can add this filter to your site to add it in the source code of your whole site:
add_action( 'rank_math/head', function() {
echo '<meta property="my_property" content="Aurangabad, Begasurai, ..." />';
}, 99 );
You can add all the keywords from your screenshot in the code above inside the content= line.
Here is a guide you can follow to add the filter:

Hope that helps.
Hello,
That tutorial is for the keywords meta tag while in your screenshot, you are showing news_keywords which is not available in our plugin so you’ll have to manually add it as instructed by my colleague.
Looking forward to helping you.
What I mean to say is that if we add news keyword in the code containing this keyword, will it reduce or not?
Hello,
Adding any meta tag to your code won’t reduce anything. It’s an additional optimization step to help search engines or other bots understand your content better.
However, please note that Google does not honor meta keywords for quite a long now so we never added them to the plugin.

Remember to focus on quality content and relevant keywords in the content for the best SEO results.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
Hello,
There’s no need to be gaps in the keywords as they are comma separated and search engines that read them will have no trouble with that.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
