The Pashu Kisan Credit Card of Haryana is issued to which of the following?
- A.Owners of cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats
- B.Poultry feed dealers
- C.Veterinary doctors in private practice
- D.Owners of tractors and harvesters
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, owners of cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats. The card works like the Kisan Credit Card but for livestock: the owner of an animal gets working capital on the strength of the animal, repayable in instalments at a low rate of interest, which suits a state whose Murrah buffalo is a brand of its own and whose milk yield is among the highest in the country.
Option B, poultry feed dealers, are traders and borrow as businesses, not under this card. Option C, veterinary doctors in private practice, are service providers and have no claim under it. Option D, owners of tractors and harvesters, borrow against machinery under farm equipment loans, a separate product of the banks. The point the examination tests is the idea behind the card, that an animal is a productive asset like land, so the credit that a farmer gets for a crop can be given to a dairy household for its animals as well.
