Crop Loan Distribution Week from June 16–22 in Nagpur district
Nagpur: In a bid to ensure every eligible farmer receives timely financial support for the upcoming kharif season, Nagpur district will observe Crop Loan Distribution Week from June 16 to 22 across all bank branches.
The campaign, announced by district collector Vipin Itankar, aims to streamline loan distribution under Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme and eliminate delays or exclusions.
Speaking at a high-level meeting held at the collectorate on Thursday, Itankar emphasised that the current pace of crop loan distribution is "very unsatisfactory" and it must be improved immediately. He directed that a joint planning effort be undertaken at each bank branch with the participation of tehsildars, block development officers, taluka agriculture officers, and branch managers to ensure effective implementation.
Loan distribution camps will be held daily from 11am to 4pm in every bank branch across the district. These camps will not only facilitate quick processing of crop loan applications but also serve as information centres where farmers will receive detailed guidance on application procedures, eligibility criteria, and necessary documents.
To ensure proper monitoring and support, tehsildars will appoint nodal officers from revenue, agriculture, rural development, and other concerned departments.
These officers will visit designated branches for a minimum of three hours each day to oversee operations and ensure maximum outreach.
Itankar also directed officers to conduct separate guidance camps to help farmers understand the process and avoid confusion or delays. He further instructed banks to complete scrutiny and approval processes onsite during the camp itself, ensuring real-time disbursal of loans.
Additionally, the campaign will promote registration of farmers on AgriStack portal for issuance of IDs, with field staff mobilised for publicity and assistance.
All bank managers are required to submit daily progress reports to their respective tehsildars and the district lead manager, Bank of India. The collector stressed the importance of interdepartmental coordination to make this drive a success and uphold transparency in agricultural credit distribution.

NCP Leader Slams Singapore Airlines For Delayed Condolences On Air India Crash
Former Civil Aviation Minister and NCP leader Praful Patel has strongly criticized Singapore Airlines for what he described as a belated and insincere response to the Air India flight AI171 tragedy in Ahmedabad, which resulted in the deaths of more than 270 people, including 241 passengers and crew members. Singapore Airlines, which holds a 25.1% stake in Air India, waited almost six days after the June 12 crash before releasing a public statement expressing condolences to the victims' families. The airline stated, "The Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group extends its deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of everyone affected by the devastating Air India flight AI171 accident," and assured ongoing support to Tata Sons and Air India during this difficult period. Patel, however, was not satisfied with the timing or tone of the statement. He took to social media to question why Singapore Airlines, as a significant shareholder with board representation and a CEO nominee in Air India, delayed its public response. He accused the airline of "paying lip service" and highlighted its "deafening silence" in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. The crash, involving a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, also resulted in 29 fatalities on the ground, making it one of the deadliest incidents involving an Indian airline and the first fatal crash of the Boeing 787 model since its introduction. Patel further pointed out that Singapore Airlines is responsible for maintaining a large portion of Air India's wide-body fleet and questioned the lack of visible engagement from the airline following the tragedy. He also noted that Air India's CEO, Campbell Wilson, is a nominee of Singapore Airlines, intensifying expectations for a prompt and empathetic response. Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Air India's internal safety board have launched investigations into the crash. The DGCA recently reported that no major safety concerns were found in Air India's Boeing 787 fleet, and maintenance systems were compliant with safety standards after a thorough review.

Maintenance coordination gaps: Air India cancels 3 international flights; DGCA flags technical issues & crew limits
Air India on Wednesday cancelled three international flights due to maintenance, technical problems, and safety concerns linked to a volcanic eruption near Bali. Two of the cancellations occurred after passengers had already boarded, the airline confirmed. According to a PTI report, flight AI188 from Toronto to Delhi was called off because of extended maintenance, which caused the crew to breach flight duty time limitations. Passengers who had already boarded were deplaned. Similarly, flight AI996 from Dubai to Delhi was cancelled due to technical reasons, with passengers also being asked to disembark after boarding. The airline's Delhi-Bali flight AI2145 was forced to turn back mid-air after reports of volcanic activity near Bali airport. The aircraft landed safely in Delhi, and all passengers were deboarded. Air India said ground teams are working to rebook passengers at the earliest and full refunds or complimentary rescheduling have been offered. The airline added it anticipates further disruptions amid intensified checks on its Boeing 787 fleet, ongoing airspace restrictions, and poor weather. This comes in the wake of the June 13 crash of a B787-8 in Ahmedabad, which killed 241 people, prompting India's aviation regulator to ramp up oversight. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Co-Founder of Google Brain, Andrew Ng, Recommends: "These 5 Books Will Turn Your Life Around" Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Between June 12 and 17, Air India cancelled 66 scheduled Boeing 787-operated flights citing technical issues.
