Banks Not Interested in Giving KCC to Farmers: Union Minister Purushottam Rupala

  • On Wednesday, Union Minister Purushottam Rupala said that many banks are not interested in giving the benefit of the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme to farmers.
     
  • At IISF 2019, Rupala said, "I am aware that banks are not showing interest in giving KCC as when farmers go to the branches of banks, they are not given importance."
     
  • He further appealed to the farmers, "that they should inform about this to the ministry and we will do whatever is necessary. ”
