In a significant move for the agricultural community, farmers in Bihar are set to benefit from a special discount under the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme. The initiative aims to ease financial burdens on farmers by providing them with cheaper credit for agricultural activities, inputs, and operational costs.
The Kisan Credit Card, launched by the government, is designed to provide timely and affordable credit to farmers, helping them purchase seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and other farming essentials without falling into debt traps. Under the new announcement, eligible farmers in bihar will receive a reduced interest rate or additional incentives, making loans more affordable and accessible.
Officials have emphasized that this measure will boost agricultural productivity by ensuring that farmers have the necessary funds during critical planting and harvesting seasons. The scheme is also expected to encourage more farmers to adopt modern techniques and equipment, as lower financial costs reduce risks associated with crop investment.
The state government is actively coordinating with banks to streamline the KCC application process, ensuring that farmers can avail themselves of the benefits quickly. Farmers are advised to visit their nearest bank branch or official KCC portals to check eligibility and apply for the discounted loans.
This move is being widely appreciated by farmers, who see it as a step toward financial empowerment and support for sustainable agriculture in Bihar.
