Ranchi, March 1: Agricultural loans amounting to Rs 1496 crore of as many as 3.74 farmers have been waived.
The development took place in accordance with decisions taken by the state government.
Based on the e-governance model, the exercise remained completely paperless and no document was demanded from the beneficiary.
Agriculture director Nisha Oraon informed this saying that the scheme was started on 1st February 1, 2021 and today on the completion of one year Rs 1496 crore against the allocation of Rs 2000 crore for the purpose was utilized. The amount is 75 percent of the target.
Director Oraon said loan waiver of 8 to 10 thousand farmers had failed due to uploading of wrong details by the bank and it is being resolved. She said that bank details are being uploaded on the loan waiver portal and till now the details of 6 lakh farmers have been uploaded on the portal, Aadhaar and ration card numbers are necessary for these details.
“Aadhar card identifies the correct beneficiary and only one member of a family is to be given the benefit of the scheme. For this the ration card number is required,” she said.
