Mukhya Mantri Krishak Rin Samadhan Yojana Gets a Lukewarm Response in MP
Shivraj Singh Chouhan was determined to bring about a marked increase in the earnings of state farmers. He had also launched several farmer credit schemes. One such scheme that allows farmers to attain respite from interest payment, by deposition on the actual loan amount was Mukhya Mantri Krishak Rin Samadhan Yojana. Though the state has high hopes for the success of this project, it failed to show satisfactory results. Reports suggest only 5 lakh Madhya Pradesh farmers have received the benefits of this scheme. As this developmental program has failed to create a positive stir, the state government is making preparations to replace it with another scheme, with the hopes of getting the interest of target beneficiaries.
