Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Parshottam Rupala chaired a National KCC Conference in Mumbai on 4th September 2023 to boost Kisan Credit Card (KCC) saturation among animal husbandry and dairy farmers.
More than 50,000 animal husbandry farmers virtually attended through 1000 common service centers across the country.
Considering the importance of this sector, the government in 2018-19 extended the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) facility to fisheries and animal husbandry farmers to help them meet their working capital requirements.
The Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying in association with the Department of Financial Services, has been organising various campaigns since June 2020 to provide Kisan Credit Card facilities to all eligible Animal Husbandry and Fishery farmers.
