"The officials were told to prepare the list of farmers who are repaying their loans on time. Such farmers would be honoured on special occasions or during other programmes," Minister of State for Cooperatives (Independent Charge) Vishwas Sarang told PTI here.
"This will encourage other farmers to repay their loans on time," he added.
Sarang said he has also asked officials in a meeting of 'innovation wing' of the department to run a campaign to enrol the eligible farmers with the credit cooperative societies.
The minister also directed officials to form tourism and e-rickshaw cooperative societies.
