In a significant move to uplift the agricultural community, the Balochistan government has launched the ‘Benazir Kissan Card,’ designed to provide financial assistance and support to small farmers across the province. This initiative aims to alleviate the challenges faced by rural farmers, especially those in remote areas, by offering easy access to subsidies and agricultural resources.
The Benazir Kissan Card will offer a range of benefits, including direct cash transfers, access to low-cost agricultural inputs, and enhanced market connectivity. The initiative is expected to boost agricultural productivity and help farmers cope with the rising cost of inputs and unpredictable weather conditions.
Balochistan’s Chief Minister, while announcing the program, emphasized that this card is a step towards empowering the province’s rural farmers and ensuring food security. “The Benazir Kissan Card is designed to provide a safety net for our farmers, helping them improve their livelihoods and contribute to the growth of Balochistan’s agricultural sector,” he said.
The program will target small-scale farmers, many of whom struggle with access to credit and government assistance. The initiative is part of the provincial government’s broader effort to enhance the agricultural infrastructure and ensure sustainable development in Balochistan’s rural areas.
Experts believe that the launch of the Benazir Kissan Card could play a crucial role in revitalizing Balochistan’s agriculture, which has long been hampered by low investment, outdated farming techniques, and frequent water scarcity.
