Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that our government is the government of farmers. Under the Leadership of Prime Minister Shri Modi, works for the welfare of farmers are being done in the whole country. The old government cheated the farmers in the name of loan waiver and made them defaulters.
They announced loan waiver of farmers in 10 days and waived only 6 thousand crore loan out of 48 thousand crore loan in 15 months. This was a big fraud with the farmers. A bundle of debt was brought on the heads of the farmers and they became defaulters. This stopped them from getting crop loans. Our government will pay the interest amount of each such farmer, so that they do not remain defaulters and they can get the benefit of crop loan scheme at zero percent interest.
Chouhan formally inaugurated the Chief Minister Farmer Interest Waiver Scheme-2023 in Sagar today. With this, the work of filling the application forms of the scheme has started in all the 4536 farmers’ primary of the state.

The interest amount of Panchamlal of Rs. 8782 and that of Jugrendra Chirar of Rs. 40 thousand 303 Rs. was waived.
Chouhan said that the short-term crop loans of farmers whose crops were damaged were converted into medium-term crop loans. The government is also getting the interest amount of such farmers waived. This amount is approximately Rs 2123 crore.
