Punjab National Bank conducted a mega agriculture credit camp in Perambalur near Tiruchi on Tuesday.
This camp was part of the month-long ‘Special Agriculture Credit Campaign’ launched by the bank in mid-June to boost agriculture credit to farmers.
Around 300 farmers attended this camp, in which the District Collector of Perambalur, Dr Darez Ahmed, distributed sanction letters to the farmers.
Though the sanctions were exclusively for agricultural activities, the Collector appealed to farmers to utilise the opportunity and increase agriculture production in the district.
The bank’s Deputy General Manager and Circle Head, Tiruchi Circle, Ms T. Latha, said that timely repayment of the loan would ensure rotation of funds and boost agriculture credit.
She said a similar camp was organised at Pilliyarpatti, the earlier day.
There are 78 branches in PNB’s Tiruchi Circle. These branches have disbursed Rs 56 crore to 6,217 farmers in the last one month.
