Farmer writes to govt not to waive off his loans!
Chikmagaluru, August 13: A farmer from Mudigere taluk has written a letter to the state government not to waive off his loans and thus exhibited his self respect.
The farmer is identified as Amarnath who urged the Chief Minister, Agriculture Minister and the district administration through letters not to waive off his loans. “The government has announced to waive off the loans of farmers up to Rs 1 lakh, I have 11 acres of land in survey number 8 at Karagodu village in Mudigere taluk and availed Rs 4 lakh loan from Mudigere Karnataka Bank for developing the land. Many farmers could be benefited from the loan waiver decision of the government. But keep me out of this loan waiver scheme”, he appealed in the letter.
“The loan waiver decision of the government would hurt my self-esteem. So, my loans should not be waived off. I’ll repay my loans. This will help me become self-reliant. I’m not ready to bear the burden of government’s obligation”, he said.
Instead of loan waiver, let the government provide scientific prices to the agriculture produces and ensure that the fertilizer and pesticides should not be substandard. Last year, he had paid Rs 7,000 as crop insurance for rain-fed crops. But he was not given the insured amount for the losses and thus cheated him. He appealed the state government to return the insurance premium. “My conscience will not accept the loan waiver. So, my name should be dropped from the list of loan waiver beneficiaries”, he appealed the government.
