1.        
 Every
year, around 15 to 16 lakh farmers are provided crop loan during  each kharif and
Rabi season in the state .
2.        
During last five years, the Govt. has provided
Rs. 40,000 crore loan to around 1.5 crore  
farmers in the state.
3.        
A impact 
study    should be done how such  a big amount of crop loan benefited  farming 
community in Odisha
4.        
A study should be undertaken   whether this huge amount has reached  to the farmers  or misappropriated  and looted by 
the people  in name of farmers ,
officials  and political touts.
