💨 Abstract

Punjab farmer leaders criticized the Union Budget for not providing a legal guarantee on minimum support price (MSP) for crops. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced six new agricultural schemes and increased the subsidized Kisan Credit Card loan limit to Rs 5 lakh. However, farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar stated that the Budget failed to meet the expectations of the farming community and raised concerns about increasing debt burden on farmers.
