During the event, more than 50 growers from Anantnag Zone were provided with on-the-spot sanction letters for High-Density Plantation loans, empowering them to enhance their agricultural practices.

The event was met with an enthusiastic response from farmers across Anantnag and Kulgam, further cementing the Bank’s reputation as a pillar of financial empowerment for the local community. Zonal Head Khursheed Muzaffar addressed the farmers, saying, “The J&K Bank High-Density Plantation Scheme for Progressive Farmers is designed to transform your lives by enabling you to create modern, high-yielding orchards. I encourage everyone to visit their nearest branch and avail the benefits of this scheme.”
