UP govt to expand KCC, 25L new farmers to get credit cards soon

Lucknow, May 7 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh government is set to expand the reach of the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme in order to boost agricultural income and make farming more profitable, official sources said here on Wednesday.
Sources said that for the financial year 2025–26, the state aims to provide KCCs to 25 lakh new farmers, ensuring easier access to timely and affordable credit. "The initiative builds on the success of the previous year, where over 71 lakh farmers across the state were issued KCCs. To meet the new target, the state has directed all Divisional Commissioners and District Magistrates to expedite the registration and distribution process," they said.
