<h1>Indian Government Approves Rs. 3,500 Crore Aid for Sugarcane Farmers; Supports 5 Crore Farmers and Mill Workers.</h1> The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved a Rs. 3,500 crore assistance package for sugarcane farmers in India. This measure aims to benefit approximately five crore sugarcane farmers and their dependents, along with five lakh workers in sugar mills and related industries. The assistance will be directly credited to farmers' accounts to address overdue payments from sugar mills, which are struggling with surplus sugar stock. The government will facilitate the evacuation of this surplus, enabling payment of dues. The subsidy covers marketing and transport costs for exporting up to 60 LMT of sugar under the Maximum Admissible Export Quota for the 2020-21 sugar season.
