<h1>Cooperative development backed by credit access and interest relief strengthens farmer finance and market infrastructure.</h1> State policy focuses on expanding cooperatives as vehicles for rural prosperity and self reliance, promoting youth engagement and digitalisation to scale cooperatives into market brands. Operational measures include issuing RuPay Kisan Credit Cards via district cooperative banks, an interest relief scheme for timely repayment of crop loans through primary cooperative societies, and investments in cooperative processing and marketing infrastructure such as a planned mega food park and high utilisation of cooperative sugar mills to strengthen value chain linkages.
