He said that the bank should provide training to farmers on modern transaction processes like net banking, UPI, card withdrawal etc. Minister OP Chaudhary said that all farmers should be treated as powerful people and banking facilities should be provided to them. Farmers should use net banking facility carefully otherwise money may get wasted, which will cause a big loss.

More than 8 lakh houses have been approved. As Finance Minister, I will release the state share of PM Awas immediately. I work with full honesty, I do not take a single rupee commission from anyone.
