New Delhi: In the cabinet meeting, the Modi government has taken a big decision for farmers. Talking to the media after the cabinet meeting, Union Minister Anurag Thakur informed that the government is constantly working to empower the farmers. In the cabinet meeting, a rebate of 1.5% has been approved on short-term agricultural loans up to Rs 3 lakh. Anurag Thakur said that under this scheme, an additional budget provision of Rs 34,856 crores has been made between the year 2022-23 and 2024-25.

With this decision of the central government, farmers will get adequate loans in the field of agriculture.
