Focusing on health of farmers, the government has decided to re-introduce the “Yeshaswini” health insurance scheme. The popular scheme, which is slightly modified from the earlier one, envisages to provide access to quality medical facilities to farming families with a financial allocation of ₹300 crore.
Under the interest subsidy scheme, it has been planned to disburse ₹24,000 crore of agricultural loans to a total of 33 lakh farmers this financial year. Of these, three lakh beneficiaries would be new farmers., according to the State Budget, presented by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday.
