Govt Launches Zero‑Interest Loan Scheme and Farmers’ Protective Shield

The chief minister also rolled out the ‘Kisan Kavach’ (Farmers' Shield) initiative, designed to connect previously excluded growers with government loan facilities and welfare schemes. By addressing pending account verification issues, the program seeks to ensure that all eligible farmers receive the benefits they deserve. In addition, 200 new cooperative society offices were approved to strengthen rural collective action, providing a robust support network for agricultural communities across the state.
