Punjab Approves Distribution of 534,000 Kissan Cards. To ensure the prosperity and self-reliance of farmers, the Punjab government has taken several steps to develop the agricultural sector and equip farmers with modern technology and finance. New decisions for the welfare of farmers in Punjab were announced on the instructions of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz. Among them, the launch of the second phase of Kissan Card will be an important milestone. An important meeting was held at Agriculture House Lahore under the chairmanship of Punjab Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Syed Ashiq Hussain Kirmani, in which he discussed these projects in detail. In the second phase, some important changes will be made to the Chief Minister Kisan Card.
Second Phase of Kisan Card in Punjab
In the second phase of the Chief Minister Kissan Card, small and medium farmers, who have land up to 25 acres, will be included. This will benefit a large number of farmers and more farmers will be able to benefit from this scheme. Apart from this, the loan limit per acre will also be increased so that farmers can invest more and thus increase the productivity of the land. This will not only provide financial support to the farmers but will also increase agricultural production many times over.

He said that in these schemes, farmers are moving towards prosperity and their lives are changing. These steps will further strengthen the agricultural sector and provide modern facilities to farmers. The Agriculture Minister also said that there is a need to eliminate transaction charges on purchases through Kisan Cards so that farmers can get more convenience.
