- Now this limit of loan will be five lakh rupees i.e. two lakh rupees more. Certainly more farmers will connect with the system of cooperatives. This will also reduce the cost of farming. The government has declared a mission to become self -sufficient in pulses production.
- Actually, the area of ​​tur and urad is continuously decreasing in the major pulsing producing state of Madhya Pradesh. Farmers are getting away from pulses crops due to high cost and other yields not getting fair price than anywhere. According to the Economic Survey 2023-24, Talking about tur, there was a 6.63 percent decrease in 2023-24 as compared to 2022-23.
- The same situation was also in Urad. Its area decreased by 34 percent, while the lentil area increased by 5.80 percent. However, satisfaction is that production did not affect much.
- The scheme will include districts with low productivity, low yield and average loan criteria through convergence of current schemes.

Focus on areas related to agriculture to increase farmers’ income
In order to increase the income of farmers, the budget has focused on agriculture affiliated areas. Programs will be run to provide processing, cold storage and beneficial price along with promoting vegetables and fruit cultivation. In the state too, farmers are being motivated for traditional farming as well as horticulture crops. The area of ​​vegetables has increased from 11.88 lakh to 12.19 lakh hectares. Production has also reached 242.62 lakh tonnes. Potatoes, tomatoes and onions have increased. Similarly, if the cultivation of fruits is seen, it is four and a half lakh hectares and the production has increased to about a hundred million tonnes. Major crops are banana, mango and orange.
Government pay attention to implementation
- Former Agriculture Director GS Kaushal says that the schemes are already there but the implementation is not done.
- Programs have been implemented earlier to increase the production of Dalhal, but the farmers did not get the same benefit, with which these were started.
- The same situation is also about cotton. Horticulture crops are definitely beneficial but it is when fair price is received. Right now the problem is the market.
- In the absence of this, middlemen take advantage of. Even though the limit of taking loan in the Kisan Credit Card Scheme has been increased from three to five lakh rupees, this will increase the debt burden on the farmers.
- Instead, the guarantee of minimum support price, processing and storage facilities should be expanded so that the farmer can sell the yield when he sells a fair price.
