Target fixed to revive Crop Credit to Rs. 13563 cr. Double of last year. Disbursement so far double of last year at Rs. 1000 cr (May 15) Agricultural credit Rs 12084 (2006-07) moves to Rs. 12112 cr (2007-08), Rs 12000 cr(2008-09) (est.) and Rs. 23256 cr (2009-10) as targeted.

Share of cooperative credit : Downward trend

During 2005-08, cooperative credit 110%, 118% & 84% of target down to 39% in 2008-09 Liquidity crunch, reluctance of banks to extend loan to debt waiver beneficiaries, one third Bank with negative networth main cause. Unhappiness of regular payers with debt waiver, delayed monsoon, dry spells additional causes. State package for 40 Lakh farmers with Rs. 6200 cr outlay - fresh defaulters amongst regular players regularised. Except OTS beneficiaries of GoI & GoM all the farmers (100lakh) now eligible for fresh loans.
