<h1>India Boosts Support for Small Farmers with Subsidized Loans and Debt Relief Initiatives, Eases Loan Processes.</h1> The Government of India has implemented several measures to support farmers, particularly small and marginal ones, through subsidized loans and financial schemes. From 2009 to 2012, the percentage of small and marginal farmers receiving loans increased, with a significant portion of credit disbursed to them. Key initiatives include the Interest Subvention Scheme, providing short-term crop loans at reduced interest rates, and the Agricultural Debt Waiver and Debt Relief Scheme, which alleviated farmers' debt burdens. Additionally, banks have been instructed to simplify loan processes for small loans and waive security requirements for loans up to Rs. 1,00,000.
