7.75 Crore Kisan Credit Cards in Operation: Economic Survey 2024-25 Highlights Key Agricultural Reforms

The Economic Survey 2024-25, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, outlines major advancements in India’s agricultural sector.

Kisan Credit Cards & Interest Subvention

As of March 2024, 7.75 crore Kisan Credit Cards (KCC) are operational with a total loan outstanding of ₹9.81 lakh crore. Additionally, 1.24 lakh KCCs were issued for fisheries and 44.40 lakh for animal husbandry. The Modified Interest Subvention Scheme (MISS) has processed ₹1 lakh crore in claims via the Kisan Rin Portal (KRP), benefiting 5.9 crore farmers.

Agricultural Credit & Financial Growth

Ground-Level Credit (GLC) has expanded at 12.98% CAGR, reaching ₹25.48 lakh crore in 2023-24, with 57% allocated to small and marginal farmers.

Crop Insurance & Farmer Support

The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) saw 4 crore farmers enrolled in FY24, covering 600 lakh hectares—a 26% and 19% increase from FY23, respectively. PM-KISAN has supported 11 crore farmers, while 23.61 lakh farmers have enrolled in the PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana (PMKMY) for pensions.

Food Security & Storage Infrastructure

Under NFSA & PMGKAY, 81.35 crore people receive subsidized food. The government is improving food grain storage with steel silos, smart warehouses, and Flospan mobile storage for remote areas.

Technology & Women Empowerment

The government is funding 15,000 Women SHGs with 80% subsidy on agricultural drones. e-NAM now has 1.78 crore farmers & 2.62 lakh traders registered.

These reforms drive a modern, self-reliant, and tech-driven agricultural sector.

    Winston here from Iowa. I’m always watching for new sites and looking at older ones and thought I’d reach out to see if you could use a hand driving targeted traffic, automating repetitive tasks, or some good old-fashioned bulk targeted outreach campaigns to massive lists I already own. I’ve been doing this for over 25+ years — building sites, editing videos, and crafting bulk email/SMS campaigns (I even provide the targeted lists as I mentioned and the servers to send them out over). Creating custom solutions using Manus (there’s a waiting list of 3 million people waiting to get their hands on this tech, and 1% get accepted after an application/screening process). Creating custom software, getting people not only ranked on search engines but also voice searches where I get devices like Alexa and GPT to start recommending your site. I also create, fix, and optimize WordPress sites. In fact, I’ll even pay for any plugins you might want/need. The bottom line is that if a solution exists, I’ve probably already built it or bought it — and if I haven’t yet, I will for your project. I’m happy to shoulder 90% of the cost with tools, lists, licenses, and tech I already own. Quick background: born and raised in the Midwest, married, three girls. If I can support them by helping you, using everything I’ve built over the years, that’s the kind of win-win that changes things. It still amazes me how few people actually help the way I do — and I’d love the chance to show you why it’s kept me in business for over 20+ years. All I ask is a flat $99/month for my time, month to month — no catch. I just wanted to offer real help if you’re open to it. If you don’t want me to help, then I ask that you please find someone who can do these items on your behalf. You and I both know you deserve it. It takes a little elbow grease to implement everything, but it’s worth it in the end. If you need anything at all, just ask — we might be a good fit, we might not, but let’s start somewhere. If I missed something or you think of anything obscure that would be an awesome solution to a problem you might need help with, let me know — I’ve only scratched the surface here with a few of my past projects. I also have thousands of references — more than I know what to do with — so if you want some, let me know. All the best, Winston Redford Cell: 1-319-435-1790‬ Live Chat: https://goo.gl/5sbTx5 Site: https://kutt.it/deserve
