Farmers often need money for various purposes, especially for farming activities. To address the challenges farmers face with high-interest loans from moneylenders, the state government has introduced a special loan and interest subsidy scheme for agricultural and non-agricultural purposes.
Under the Interest Subsidy Scheme on Long-Term Cooperative Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Loans, 2024-25, the government offers farmers a 7% interest subsidy on long-term loans for agricultural equipment, tractors, and other essential items.

The Cooperation Minister Gautam Dak announced that farmers who take loans through the Primary Cooperative Land Development Bank and Central Cooperative Banks can benefit from this scheme if they repay on time. Under the Sahakar Kisan Kalyan Yojana, farmers taking loans this year will get a 7% interest subsidy, lowering the effective interest rate to just 4%.
The government has allocated Rs 39.75 crore for this scheme. This is a significant step to help farmers reduce interest payments and access affordable credit for farming and non-farming needs.
Farmers who have already taken loans and are making timely payments will receive a 5% interest subsidy on those loans. This subsidy was increased by 2% in the recent budget for 2024-25 to support farmers further.
For the first time, farmers taking non-agricultural loans can also benefit from this subsidy. Those who repay these loans on time will receive a 5% interest subsidy, reducing their interest rate to 3.5% for non-agricultural activities.

The scheme also covers non-agricultural purposes like:
For example, if a farmer takes a loan of Rs 10 lakh this year and repays on time, they will save Rs 68,231 in interest through the 7% subsidy. For non-agricultural loans, a farmer taking Rs 50 lakh for farm housing could save Rs 2,46,108 on interest with a 5% subsidy.
Farmers who are interested in this scheme can contact their nearest cooperative bank or agriculture department officials for further details. This initiative aims to support farmers financially and promote timely loan repayments across the state.
