Crop loan worth Rs 1,583 core disbursed to Chhattisgarh farmers

30 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Crop loan worth Rs 1,583 core has been disbursed to Chhattisgarh farmers in kharif-rabi season, which is Rs 267 crore higher than the disbursement done last year during the same period. The rapid progress of the monsoon in the past couple of days across the state has boosted sowing and other farming activities.

This year the government will make available crop loan worth Rs 3,000 crore to the farmers through primary cooperative societies at a rate of 1 percent interest per annum. This step of lowering interest rate has been taken in order to boost lending and farmers were seen taking much advantage of it.

In view of the performance and credit requirement of the primary agriculture cooperative societies, this year the amount of the farm credit has been raised. Also, Rs 2,300 crore will be disbursed in the ongoing kharif season and Rs 700 crore crop loan in Rabi season during this year.
