The Modi government is constantly working on doubling the income of farmers. For this, many schemes have been started by the government for the farmers. Today we are going to tell about that scheme which is very helpful for farmers. Kisan Credit Card or KCC is one of the most popular schemes among farmers. The KCC scheme was introduced in 1998 with the aim of simplifying the loan process for farmers. In this, loans are given to farmers for agricultural purposes. In this scheme, loans are provided to farmers at a very affordable interest rate of 4%.
