He directed banks to improve their credit dispensation strategies and ensure that the agricultural sector receives adequate financial support.
Additionally, District Officers of Agriculture and allied Departments were advised to sponsor more credit-linked cases under prominent schemes like the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme to the banks. Further, Agriculture & allied departments along with banks were directed to ensure 100% saturation of PM Kisan beneficiaries under the Kisan Credit Card Scheme.
