The Jammu and Kashmir Government Aid to Agriculturists and Land Improvement Act, 1993
The Jammu and Kashmir Government Aid to Agriculturists and Land Improvement Act, 1993, establishes a legal framework for the government to provide financial assistance to farmers. It covers loans for land improvements—such as irrigation, well construction, and machinery—and relief during agricultural distress caused by natural calamities. The Act defines eligible agriculturists and outlines the terms for loan repayment, which vary based on the purpose of the aid. For the ordinary citizen, this legislation serves as a mechanism for agricultural development and disaster recovery, ensuring that farmers have access to capital while protecting the state's financial interests through structured recovery processes.
