Agriculture Infrastructure Fund Scheme in Hindi

एग्रीकल्चरल इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर फण्ड के तहत किसानो को फसल के बेहतर दाम मिलने के लिए फाइनेंस की सुविधा प्राप्त होगी। केंद्र सरकार ने 1लाख करोड़ रूपये के कृषि अवसरंचना कोष के तहत फाइनेंस की सुविधा को मंजूरी दे दी है। यह फण्ड कटाई के बाद फसल के बेहतर प्रबंधन के लिए इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर और (Community agricultural assets) जैसे की कोल्ड स्टोरेज, क्लेक्शन सेंटर, प्रोसेसिंग यूनिट बनाने में सहायता करेगा।

प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी ने वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेसिंग के माध्यम से कृषि इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर फण्ड के तहत 1लाख करोड़ रूपये की वित्तपोषण सुविधा को लॉन्च किया। यह वित्त मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमण द्वारा पेश किये गए 20 लाख रूपये के प्रोत्साहन पैकेज का हिस्सा थी जिसकी घोषणा पहली बार 15 May 2020 को हुई थी। सरकार द्वारा दी गयी राशि किसानो को उनकी उपज के लिए अधिक मूल्य प्राप्त करने में सक्षम बनाएगी क्योंकि किसान बढ़िया दामों पर भंडारण एवं बिक्री करने,अपव्यय को कम करने, प्रसंस्करण और दामों में वृद्धि बढ़ाने में सक्षम होंगे। 


कृषि अवसरंचना कोष के तहत 1 लाख करोड़ रुपये की वित्तपोषण योजना

कृषि अवसरंचना कोष (Agricultural Infrastructure Fund) के तहत 1लाख करोड़ रूपये की वित्तपोषण योजना के बारे में बताने जा रहे है। एग्रीकल्चरल इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर फण्ड सरकार द्वारा लागु 20 लाख करोड़ रूपये के राहत पैकेज का एक हिस्सा है। कृषि अवसरंचना कोष की अवधि साल 2029-30 तक यानि की 10 साल तक के लिए है। इसका मुख्य लक्ष्य कम ब्याज,आर्थिक सहायता और वित्तीय मदद के जरिए कृषि अवसरंचना और सामुदायिक खेती के लिए प्रेक्टिकल प्रोजेक्ट में निवेश के लिए अधिक समय के ब्याज फाइनेंसिंग की सुविधा प्रदान करना है। इसका लक्ष्य ग्रामीण क्षेत्र में अपने निवेश को बढ़ावा देना और अधिक काम -काज पैदा करना है।


एग्रीकल्चरल इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर फण्ड के लाभ

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी जी ने कृषि-अवसरंचना कोष के तहत 1 लाख करोड़ रूपये की वित्त पोषण सुविधा शुरू करके किसानो को राहत दी है। प्रधानमंत्री ने पीएम किसान योजना के कार्यान्वयन को तेजी के साथ अपनी संतुष्टि व्यक्त की है, उन्होंने कहा है की इस कार्यकर्म का पैमाना इतना बड़ा है की आज जारी धन कई देशो की पूरी आबादी की तुलना में अधिक लोगो तक पहुंच गया है।

AIF योजना की अवधि 10 साल तक होगी। इस योजना के तहत 1लाख करोड़ रूपये तक के ब्याज के लिए सीजीटीएमएसई योजना के तहत 3%हर साल ब्याज दर और क्रेडिट गारंटी कवरेज के साथ ब्याज के रूप में बैंको और वित्तीय संस्थानों द्वारा प्रदान किया जाएगा। इन सुविधाओं के शुरू होने से किसानो को उनकी फसल की बेहतर दाम मिल सकेंगे। इन सुविधाओं के चलते किसान अपनी फसल को इकठ्ठा कर सकेंगे और सही दाम मिलने पर अपने माल को बेच सकेंगे, इससे उनकी कमाई में वृद्धि होगी। फ़ूड प्रोसेसिंग की सुविधा से किसानो को उनकी फसल की अधिक कीमत मिलेगी जिससे वह किसान और उनका परिवार खुशहाल रह सके।

कृषि क्षेत्र के लिए एक नया सवेरा
