A loan of up to Rs 3 lakh with easy repayment options and a mobile phone to each farmer, along with a promise to make Jharkhand “Naxalism-free” and implementation of the NRC, were among the other major promises made.
The manifesto promises Rs 5,000 to a number of farmers every year under the Mukhya Mantri Krishi Ashirwad Yojana, and to send 5,000 farmers abroad to learn about modern farming technologies.
