Eluru, July 15 (UNI) Minister for Housing and I&PR K Parthasarathy underlined the need of increasing the crop loans of tenant farmers to Rs 2000 crore. An interaction with the district officials was organised here on Monday.

“More than 75 percent of the cultivation in Eluru district is carried out by the tenant farmers and keeping this aspect in mind, the target of crop loans provided to the tenant farmers should be increased to Rs 2000 crore,” the Minister stated, adding that steps should be taken to provide crop loans to the tenant farmers without the consent of the land owner.
The Minister told the officials to take steps to ensure timely delivery of seeds and fertilizers to the farmers and sensitize the farmers to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and increase the use of traditional fertilizers with natural irrigation.
