Participating in State Credit seminar conducted by NABARD here, the Minister said expressed concern that the farmers are not self-reliant as farming involved a cost intensive mechanism.
From sowing seeds, tilling crops, buying quality seeds, fertilisers, investment loans, production and till marketing, the farming community will have to put all energies.
Harish said that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao launched several schemes including Rythu Bandhu, insurance scheme for farmers etc for the wellbeing of the farmers. He asked the banking institutions to consider the farmers' demand for more loans and provide a succour to them without any delay.
The Finance Minister said that the National Agriculture and Rural Development Bank (NABARD) had offered the funds for the development of farming related infrastructure and helped the government for building more number of godowns to increase storage capacity and also for sprinkler irrigation.
