Over 832,000 Punjab farmers have been issued Kisan Cards. The data shows these farmers utilized agricultural loans worth Rs 2.54 billion through the scheme. During the wheat season, farmers used the Kisan Card facility to purchase inputs worth Rs100 billion, while Rs90 billion in financial support was provided for the Kharif crop season.

Around 300,000 farmers obtained inputs worth Rs 30 billion through the program. Officials said that out of 538,000 farmers required to repay Rs67 billion, nearly 86% of the recovery target has been achieved, with Rs57 billion already repaid in installments. Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif praised the timely repayments as a positive example of responsibility and progress. She also stated that the Kisan Card scheme is transforming farmers’ lives by reducing dependence on middlemen and moving towards financial independence and prosperity.
