Welfare agriculture

In the case of agriculture, what is proposed to be done to boost industralisation of agriculture is not so clear though the welfare aspects of the government's agricultural plan are clearly marked out.

All small and marginal farmers in the country will have access to soft loans. To check the moral hazard that arises from the massive loan waiver programme, there is a plan to extend interest relief to farmers who repay their loans on schedule.

Crop insurance, direct income support to farmers in ecologically vulnerable areas and procurement at the doorstep of farmers are some of the other measures that are proposed in this term.
