The State Bank of India (SBI) would organise Kisan Mela at nearly 680 rural and semi-urban branches across the State on Tuesday.
Kisan Mela is an initiative of the bank to connect with farmer customers, resolve their grievances and educate them about their various rights and banks supports.
The bank, which has close to 1.50 crore farmer customers, plans to connect with at least 10 lakh farmers through this Mela. SBI had recently organised Kisan Mela which attracted over 6 lakh farmers across various locations in the country. As part of the Kisan Mela, the SBI also offers KCC farmers an enhancement of 10 per cent to their credit limit on renewing the account.
The SBI has taken this initiative to reach out to the farmers to educate about the benefits of renewing KCC account to get maximum benefits of interest subvention from the Government and coverage under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana.
In addition to this, the bank would also sensitise farmers on various agri-products of the bank like Asset Backed Agri-loan, Mudra loan and loans on other allied agri activities.
