It is seen that farmers do not want to take loans due to the complicated process of banks. Due to this, they take loans from the zamindars or the people around them. If the crop is destroyed due to any reason, the farmers are unable to repay the loan. Due to this many farmers have to take steps like suicide. Keeping in mind this problem of farmers, an important step was taken by the government. This important step was to implement the Kisan Credit Card Scheme (KCC Scheme). Under this, farmers get loans up to Rs 1.6 lakh without guarantee.
