Where are you planning to set up the farm???Loans areavailable at all nationalised banks and also at NAbard. For obtaining bank loan, the farmers should apply to the nearest branch of a commercial bank, regional rural bank or co-operative bank in their area in the prescribed application form which is available in the branches of financing banks.
Initially you have to look at the technical feasibility of project
