The loan amounts will be transferred to the farmers’ bank account and they need to provide with their ration card and Aadhar numbers linked to banks. The direct transfer will be made on completion of KYC in concerned bank branch and verification on a mobile phone.

The farmers have to provide their mobile number and Re 1 token money with the application.

Moreover, approval has been given to a scholarship scheme for aspirants who wants to study in the United Kingdom and belongs to the ST community. The name and variety have also been selected.

The scholarship amount covers the following expenses:

  •  Annual tuition fees and
  • A maximum of 10,000 pound/sterling against maintenance
  • VISA
  • Cost of air passage
  • Local travel

Another area of focus would be lac farm management and production. Mr. Ajoy Kumar said it would increase annual income of about 12 lakh farmers by about Rs 5,200 per annum. Fourteen forest farms have been identified for the purpose.

Also, 38,432 anganwadis.is to be established which will provide micronutrient fortified and energy food to the children in the age group of 6 to 36 months (general) and 6 to 72 months (malnourished) besides expecting mothers.
