Reacting to the development, district collector Rajesh Deshmukh said, “We broke our own record in crop loan disbursement. We gave a loan of 3,894 crore last year, and this year we can give a loan of 4,130 crore. We have given 236 crore more loan than last year.”

Deshmukh further added, “Along with nationalised and co-operative banks, private banks also played important role in initiating the scheme.”
