KCC: Farmers get loan at a nominal rate of interest

Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme was started by the government to save farmers from high-interest loans from moneylenders. A farmer can take a loan of Rs 3 lakh on KCC.

Farmers play a very important role in the country’s economy. Farmers sometimes have to take loans at high-interest rates to meet their agricultural needs. This increases the cost of agriculture. Seeing this problem of the farmers, the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme was started by the Government of India in 1998. Its objective was to provide loans to the farmers of the country at affordable rates.
