Jaipur: Despite two successive farm loan waivers in Rajasthan, lakhs of farmers would not be able to avail the short-term crop loan issued by co-operative banks for this kharif season.
As per the Rajasthan State Co-operative Bank Limited (RSCB) website, a total of 20,79,492 farmers are registered for kharif 2019 while crop loans have been sanctioned only for 13,71,761 of them, leaving out approximately seven lakh farmers. So far, the disbursed loan amount stands at Rs 28,60.13 crore for this season.
The RSCB, an apex institution of the district central co-operative banks (DCCBs) functioning in the state, had on July 25 written to National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) requesting for funds. Following this, the chief secretary of the Rajasthan government also wrote to NABARD on August 12 asking for releasing funds upon compliance with the non-overdue cover (NODC) discipline.
