Importance of agricultural credit on productivity
The document discusses the importance of agricultural credit on productivity. It provides several studies that show a positive relationship between credit and agricultural output, income, and GDP growth. However, farmers in Bangladesh face many problems accessing formal credit due to long procedures, lack of rural branch access, high interest rates, and lack of cooperation between institutions. The document recommends simplifying credit procedures, increasing rural branch access, targeting the poorest farmers, expanding credit to non-crop areas like livestock, and improving monitoring to ensure credit reaches farmers.

Finally, remedial measures are proposed such as making the loan process easier and establishing more agricultural development banks.
Agriculture credit
This document discusses agricultural credit and the agricultural credit market in Pakistan. It defines agricultural credit as loans obtained to promote and develop agriculture. The objectives of agricultural credit are to accelerate economic growth, reduce unemployment, increase exports, and ensure food security. Sources of credit include institutional sources like banks and cooperatives as well as non-institutional sources like moneylenders. Farmers' credit needs are examined based on time (short, medium, long term) and purpose (productive, unproductive, consumption). Efficiency of the agricultural credit market requires increasing access to credit, lowering interest rates, targeting access, streamlining procedures, and increasing farmer awareness.
Agriculture credit
This document discusses agriculture credit and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Pakistan. It provides classifications and sources of agriculture credit, as well as current credit schemes. It also outlines problems faced by farmers and SMEs, including lack of financing, skilled labor, and marketing challenges. Additionally, it compares agriculture and credit systems between Pakistan and India.
Agriculture credit
Agricultural credit is an important input for agricultural development programs in India. It is needed to purchase seeds, fertilizers, equipment and manage risks. However, small and marginal farmers often do not receive enough institutional credit. Some reasons for this are loose definitions that allow large companies access to subsidized loans, and non-compliance by banks with targets for lending to small farmers. Reforms are needed to streamline the system and better facilitate credit to small farmers through organizations and technology.
Agriculturalcredit
1. Agricultural credit is an important input for leveraging financial growth in the agricultural sector and ultimately leading to sustainable economic growth.
2. It is provided by both formal institutional sources like agricultural development banks and commercial banks, as well as informal non-institutional sources like money lenders and shopkeepers.
3. It is needed for a variety of purposes from purchasing seeds and fertilizers, to machinery, to making permanent land improvements and managing risks. However, small farmers often face issues in accessing sufficient credit from institutional sources.
Trends in Agricultural Credit
Agriculture sector is playing a significant role in the
development of rural areas in our country. Agriculture is the
main occupation and still is a strong means of livelihood and
there is necessity for ensuring sustainability in these
livelihoods. Agriculture and allied sectors contribute nearly
22% of GDP of India and further 9.93% contribution in total
export of India.
Rural indebtedness, agricultural distress,
dependency on private money lenders, and farmers suicides
are common features surrounding Indian Agriculture. For
more than 100 years RBI and Central Government have been
making efforts to enhance institutional credit in rural areas
particularly to assist agricultural operations. But economic
survey (GOI) 2010 shows that out of 27 public sector banks,
only 14 sector banks achieved the agricultural credit target of
18% agricultural credit and in case of private sector banks
only 8 achieved the target of 18% for lending to agriculture
in 2009.

Agricultural credit
Agricultural credit is a vital input for Pakistan's economy, as the agricultural sector accounts for 25.3% of GDP. It is needed to purchase inputs, machinery, make improvements, and manage risks for farmers. The major sources of agricultural credit are non-institutional sources like money lenders and institutional sources like commercial banks and the Agricultural Development Bank. During 2013-14, banks disbursed Rs. 255.7 billion in agricultural credit, achieving 67.3% of the annual target of Rs. 380 billion. The share of credit going to the non-farm sector increased to 45.6% as banks diversified lending.
Farmers sucide
This document discusses the historical reasons for and current causes of farmer suicides in India. It notes that high land taxes and frequent famines under British colonial rule contributed to widespread poverty and frustration among farmers. Today, reasons for farmer suicides include crop failure and debt from drought, floods, use of GM seeds, and economic policies. Southern states have much higher suicide rates than northern states. Government responses including debt relief programs have been ineffective at creating reliable income sources for farmers long-term. Farmer suicide is a global issue associated with stress from mental health, environment, economics, and family problems.
Needs and Sources of Credit in Indian Agriculture
This document discusses the need for and sources of credit in Indian agriculture. It notes that agricultural credit is a crucial input, and that the major historical source was private moneylenders who charged high interest rates. To address this, a multi-agency approach using cooperatives, commercial banks, and regional rural banks now provides cheaper and more adequate credit to farmers. It then outlines the various financial needs of Indian farmers and the roles of credit. Finally, it details the major institutional sources of agricultural credit in India, including cooperatives, commercial banks, land development banks, regional rural banks, government loan schemes, and NABARD.
Chapter 1 Introduction, Scope and Nature of Agricultural finance
This document discusses the meaning, definitions, nature, scope and significance of agricultural finance. It defines agricultural finance as the economic study of farmers borrowing funds and the organizations that lend to agriculture. Agricultural finance can be examined at both the macro and micro level. At the macro level, it deals with total credit needs for the agricultural sector, while at the micro level it focuses on financial management of individual farm businesses. Agricultural finance plays a vital role in agro-socioeconomic development by increasing productivity, farm income, and reducing economic imbalances. It is also important for supporting infrastructure and technology adoption to modernize traditional agriculture.
Rural Credit & Marketing (INDIA)
The document discusses rural financing and development in India. It notes that about 50% of Indian villages have poor socioeconomic conditions and lack basic infrastructure. Rural populations rely on informal credit sources like money lenders who charge high interest rates, trapping borrowers in debt. Several reforms were introduced to improve access to formal credit, including NABARD, regional rural banks, self-help groups, and microfinance institutions which provide loans at lower rates. Rural marketing also plays an important role, with companies like Amul and Coca-Cola directly targeting vast rural consumer bases through extensive rural distribution networks.
Macroeconomics Role Of Institutional Credit For Economic Growth
The document discusses the importance of institutional credit for agricultural growth and economic development in India. It notes that historically, agriculture has relied on informal credit sources that charge very high interest rates. The document outlines the establishment of institutional credit for agriculture in India via programs like priority sector lending and the Kisan credit card scheme. It finds that increased access to institutional credit is linked to higher agricultural productivity, food production and reduced farmer debt. However, it also flags issues like declining credit to agriculture from commercial banks and a need for expanded access to affordable credit via microfinance and technological solutions.
Farmers suicide
Farmer suicide is a major crisis in India, with over 284,000 farmers taking their own lives since 1995. The highest rates are in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh. Suicides are most common among male farmers aged 30-59 cultivating cotton. Farmers are struggling due to debt, crop failures, lack of irrigation, declining prices, and high costs of farming inputs. Recommendations to address the issue include comprehensive insurance, sustainable farming practices, regulated seed and pesticide suppliers, improved credit systems, and diversifying livelihoods.
Presntation on farmer suicides
Farmer suicides have been a major issue in Maharashtra since the 1990s. Some key points:
- The state with the highest number of farmer suicides is Maharashtra, with over 1,000 reported in 2006 alone in the Vidarbha region.
- Common reasons for suicide include crop failure due to changing weather/rainfall patterns, high costs of farming inputs, debt, and crop price volatility. Widows and children are often left in difficult financial situations.
- The government of Maharashtra has implemented some schemes to help farmers, but they have had limited success due to lack of farmer input and awareness.
- Amma and her organization have initiated programs to provide vocational training

Farmers suicide final
Indian farmers are committing suicide at an alarming rate, with one suicide occurring every 30 minutes. The states most affected are Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Chhattisgarh. The majority of suicides are by male family heads aged 25-45 who own small plots of land and have high levels of debt from farming expenses. Key factors driving the suicides include crop failures, rising costs, indebtedness, lack of irrigation access, and low crop prices set by middlemen. Solutions proposed include government policies to ensure fair crop pricing, expand irrigation access, provide education and training to farmers, and reduce reliance on middlemen.
Farmers suicides in india
The document discusses reasons for farmer suicides in India, including dependence on monsoons with little irrigation, indebtedness from high-interest loans, rising costs of cultivation, and failure of loan waiver policies to provide long-term solutions. Key statistics show that on average one farmer committed suicide every 32 minutes between 1997-2005, with rates as high as one every 8 hours in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. Most suicides occurred among farmers between 20-45 years old.

Farmers in India are facing extreme poverty and financial crisis that often leads to suicide. Some key causes of farmer suicides include lack of irrigation, below average rainfall, high costs of agricultural inputs, and low profits from crops. In response, NGOs are taking steps like providing farmers training, counseling, and self-employment programs to help address their problems. While Indian farmers work long hours and earn only $3,000 annually on average, American farmers earn $60,000 despite modern farming techniques making their work easier. Solutions are needed that empower farmers and reform the entire agricultural structure in India.
Agriculture and rural credit growth in India
Rural and agricultural credit in India is meant to provide financial assistance to poor farmers and employed persons in rural areas. It involves giving small loans for productive purposes like buying seeds, fertilizers, and implements or for personal needs like family ceremonies. Various reforms have expanded access to rural credit through institutions like commercial banks, cooperative banks, microfinance organizations, and self-help groups. Recent data shows that credit growth to the agriculture sector rose to a four-year high in fiscal year 2021, supported by a strong monsoon and the development of the farm sector ecosystem during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government has also implemented various schemes to support farmers through credit facilities, crop insurance, interest subvention, and income assistance programs.

Indian agri. crisis & farmer suicides
India is considered as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Agriculture is the mother of most of the economies in the world. Much of its influence is on the other sectors - industry and service. India is the second largest in farm output. Hence, India’s economic security continues to be predicated upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the near future. Even today, the share of agriculture in employment is about 49% of the population, as against around 75% at the time of independence. There are several reasons like vicious cycle of poverty, crops failure, illiteracy, high indebtedness, low level of income, low level technology, Government Policies, addiction to alcohol, domestic affairs, old traditions, pessimistic outlook of farmers etc. are some of the main reasons for agricultural crisis and farmers suicides in India. Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala are the top most five states in India in farmers suicides. The need of the hour is protect our farmers by all means, thus avoiding their suicides and agrarian crisis. This Paper is an attempt to focus attention on causes of agricultural crisis and farmer suicides in India with special reference to Telangana.
Presentation on farmer suicides
This document summarizes a presentation on farmer suicides in India. It notes that over 60% of India's population depends on agriculture for their livelihood, but farmers face many social, economic, and political hardships. It discusses journalist P. Sainath's documentary "Nero's Guests," which draws attention to the over 200,000 farmer suicides that have occurred since 1997 due to issues like debt, crop failure, inability to sell crops, and depression. It suggests various recommendations to address the problem, including providing equal compensation for suicide victims regardless of gender, educating farmers, and making financial resources more accessible.
farmers-suicide

FINANCE_Ahana Sarkar_Role of Rural Credit in Indian Perspective.
This document provides an overview of the role of rural credit in India from the late 19th century to present day. It discusses how rural populations historically relied on exploitative moneylenders until commercial banks and cooperatives began providing loans in rural areas in the early-to-mid 20th century. However, cooperatives struggled due to socioeconomic divisions and were often controlled by wealthy elites. The Reserve Bank of India played a key role in facilitating rural credit through various institutions over time.

Design of a low cost compact size starter for low power water pumps
Abstract In rural parts of India voltage fluctuation is a very common phenomenon because of the unbalanced load. Sometimes this leads to rapid switching of the water pump installed in the household which may burn/damages the coil because of the overheating, as low power pumps doesn’t come with overheating protection. But if we use a starter with water pump then we can reduce its failure probability to a greater extent but generally people prefer online starting of those pumps as they are very low powered to avoid cost and complexity in installment. Here we have proposed a low cost and very compact size model of a starter which can be designed using very cheap and easily available components. It can be integrated with the pump by the manufacturer during the manufacturing to minimize the failure probability.

Final report with annexure
This document provides an overview of the rural banking industry in India. It notes that while urban India has over 100% banking penetration, rural India lags behind at only 19% penetration due to issues with both access to and usage of financial services in rural areas. Access is limited by factors like lack of infrastructure and physical distance to branches, with only 7% of villages having a bank branch. Usage is constrained by illiteracy and incomplete service offerings that don't meet rural needs as well as high transaction costs. The banking industry is recognizing the potential of rural segments but more work needs to be done to expand access and encourage usage of financial services in rural India.

Evaluation of Agricultural credit in India (A case study on north coastal Andhra Pradesh) ABSTRACT The necessity of rural finance was felt to provide protection and support to the rural population in India. The farmers and the small entrepreneurs in rural area still rely more on unorganized sector for funds by paying a very high rate of interest. The banks were established in rural areas to cater to the increasing demand for credit for agricultural and non-agricultural purposes. Farmers in rural areas also face the risk of unpredictable production of crops due to high dependency on monsoon. The problem of growing over-dues is the area of major concern for all the rural banks.
