Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadanvis has welcomed decision of giving
farm loan waiver to Maharashtra farmers but urged him to cover all farmers of
region without any condition of land holding as earlier National mega farm loan

crisis driven and distressed of farmers
of Vidarbha and Marathwada and same criteria of small and marginal is repeated
will keep most of dry land drought affected
farmers of 14 districts of west Vidarbha and Marathwada.
In response to the message of
prevailing concern of more than 4 million
dry land drought affected
farmers of 14 districts of west Vidarbha and Marathwada regarding
stringent condition of putting land holding limit of 2 hector , chief minister Devendra Fadanvis has
assured him that as he has raised issue of unjust happened with dry land

Govt. in 2008-09,this time due care will be taken to protect interest to
address the farm debt issue of dryland farmers who are having land but very low
earning ,Tiwari added.
Task force have also urged chief minister Devendra Fadanvis to give special incentive to the farmers who are reguler having crop loan repayment track along with farmers who were left our in earlier farm loan waiver in order to promote repayment culture as farm loan waiver is not the ultimate solution to address the agrarian crisis in the country as it's accumulative effect of globalization and anti-farmers policy of state .
Farm task force has urged chief
minister Devendra Fadanvis to keep land holding limit up to 5 hector for dry
land farmers if it is kept 2 hector for farmers with irrigation facility or
farm loan with blanket limit up to Rs.one lakh farm debt is given most of
crisis driven and distressed of farmers
of Vidarbha and Marathwada will be covered who are in deep trouble and will keep
rich farmers out to network loan waiver, Tiwari urged .
Tiwari recalled that when
National mega farm loan waiver given by UPA Govt. in 2008-09 was given most of
it’s benefits of taken away by rich farmers and banks to clear out their NPA
and hence it should legitimate compulsion to fresh credit to all farmers whose
farm loan has waived of to avoid the misuse of farm loan waiver .
