Kisan Credit Card (KCC) Scheme: Empowering Farmers with Timely Credit
Launched in 1998, the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) Scheme is a significant initiative by the Government of India designed to provide farmers with timely access to credit. The scheme facilitates short-term loans for purchasing agricultural inputs like seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, as well as for meeting other farming expenses. Over the years, KCC has evolved to include allied activities such as animal husbandry and fisheries, thereby broadening its reach and impact.
