Karnataka Government launches portal 'FRUITS' for farmers

The Government of Karnataka has unveiled an e-governance portal named ‘Farmer Registration and Unified beneficiary Information System (FRUITS)’, for the benefit of the farmers of the state.
This portal will create a repository of farmland information and farm loan details on a single platform.
All farmers will be registered and given an identification number on the portal.
Using this number, banks and other lending institutions can access the land details of farmers as well as details of their existing borrowings and take a quick decision on lending.
Initially, Canara Bank will provide this service under FRUITS on a pilot basis
If the project if found successful, other financial institutions will be brought on to the portal
