Beed Farmers Receive ₹90.75 Crore Debt Relief Across 13,110 Accounts
Farmers grow the food we eat, but sometimes they owe money to banks for seeds, tools, and other things they need.
In a place called Beed district, the government started a special program to help these farmers.
The program is called the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar Farmers' Debt Relief Scheme-2026.
Under this program, the government pays off some of the farmers' loans for them.
So far, the government has sent ₹90.75 crore directly into the bank accounts of 13,110 farmers.
The government has set aside up to ₹711 crore to help farmers in Beed district.
Some farmers still need to finish their Aadhaar authentication, which is like confirming who they are with their ID, before they can get the money.
Once they finish that step, the money will go straight to their bank accounts.
After getting the help, farmers can also borrow new money to grow crops in the kharif season.
This gives them a fresh start for their farms.
₹90.75 crore in loan waiver funds has been directly credited to the bank accounts of 13,110 eligible farmers in Beed district.
The disbursal is under the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar Farmers' Debt Relief Scheme-2026, which has a total provision of ₹711 crore for the district.
₹70.01 crore was credited to 9,283 farmers with loans from nationalised banks, while ₹20.24 crore went to 3,827 farmers through the Beed District Central Co-operative Bank.
A first beneficiary list of 96,523 eligible farmers was published on July 25, but Aadhaar authentication of 32,034 farmers is still pending.
The government has directed all banks to provide fresh crop loans to waiver beneficiaries for the ongoing kharif season.
