Uttar Pradesh government had announced waiver for loans up to Rs 1 lakh covering about 0.86 crore farmers by spending Rs 36,400 crore. However, the actual disbursals to farmers were Rs 24,700 crore, 32 per cent lower than actual credit target.

This decision of the Government was a historic one as it fulfills the commitment to the farmers to provide 50 per cent return over cost of production for the first time for all mandated crops,\" as said by Minister of State for Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.
