“To offer reasonable compensation during drought and famine situations for the loss of agricultural produce. To postpone the recovery of distressed loans and waive complete interest.”
On track. The promise was to offer reasonable compensation during drought and famine for crop loss, postpone recovery of distressed loans, and waive complete interest. After 223 taluks were declared drought-affected in 2023, the state disbursed input-subsidy compensation to farmers on a large scale (via the Parihara direct-benefit-transfer mechanism) and in 2025 released a further Rs 1,033.60 crore top-up to 14.24 lakh farmers; co-operative banks were also directed to defer loan recovery and refrain from attaching defaulting farmers' properties. Active, substantial delivery on compensation and loan-recovery relief; the specific 'waive complete interest' element is not separately confirmed, and much crop-loss compensation draws on central SDRF/NDRF funds.
