    Financial Inclusion

    Access to finance by the poor and vulnerable groups is a prerequisite for poverty reduction and social cohesion. This has to become an integral part of our efforts to promote inclusive growth. In fact, providing access to finance is a form of empowerment of the vulnerable groups. Financial inclusion denotes delivery of financial services at an affordable cost to the vast sections of the disadvantaged and low-income groups. The various financial services include credit, savings, insurance and payments and remittance facilities. The objective of financial inclusion is to extend the scope of activities of the organized financial system to include within its ambit people with low incomes. Through graduated credit, the attempt must be to lift the poor from one level to another so that they come out of poverty. Extent of Exclusion NSSO data reveal that 45.9 million farmer households in the country (51.4%), out of a total of 89.3 million households do not access credit, either from institutional or noninstitutional sources. Further, despite the vast network of bank branches, only 27% of total farm households are indebted to formal sources (of which one-third also borrow from informal sources). Farm households not accessing credit from formal sources as a proportion to total farm households is especially high at 95.91%, 81.26% and 77.59% in the North Eastern, Eastern and Central Regions respectively. Thus, apart from the fact that exclusion in general is large, it also varies widely across regions, social groups and asset holdings. The poorer the group, the greater is the exclusion. Demand Side Factors While financial inclusion can be substantially enhanced by improving the supply side or the delivery systems, it is also important to note that many regions, segments of the population and sub-sectors of the economy have a limited or weak demand for financial services. In order to improve their…

    Agriculture is critical sector for ensuring food security and poverty alleviation. This sector needs to be seen as a single set of activities, encompassing production, storage and distribution. As there is seamless connectedness of the entire agriculture value chain its impact on output, income and employment in rural economy is highly positive. Therefore ‘Agriculture and allied activities’ may be a composite sector within priority sector. The target for this sector is proposed at 18% of ANBC/CEOBE whichever is higher. A sub target of lending to Small and Marginal Farmers equivalent to 9% of ANBC, to be achieved in stages till 2015-16. Banks are also encouraged to ensure that number of outstanding beneficiary accounts registers a minimum annual growth rate of 15%. Considering that availability of credit rather than the channel or mode of delivery of credit is important and that credit to entire sector rather than the individual activities within the individual sector is important, concepts of ‘Direct’ & ‘Indirect’ lending to agriculture sector may be integrated in order to have all encompassing approach towards agriculture sector. This means that the earlier ceiling of 4.5% limit through ‘indirect channel’ is proposed to be done away with. To ensure that stressed assets in this sector do not arise, the Committee has strongly recommended the establishment of an Agriculture Credit Risk Guarantee Fund. Roadmap for achievement of sub-target under SFMF 21 PSBs and 15 Private Sector Banks…

    *ASHISH SHARMA (R.R.M. COLLEGE, Neemuch) Agriculture plays an important role in the development of the Indian economy. It accounts for about 19-21 per cent of GDP and about two thirds of the population is dependent on the sector. The importance of farm credit as a critical input to agriculture is reinforced by the unique role of Indian agriculture in the macroeconomic framework and its role in poverty alleviation. Agricultural finance is a subset of rural finance dedicated to financing agricultural related activities such as input supply, production, distribution, wholesale, processing and marketing. Financial service providers face distinct challenges when dealing with this sector. For example, the seasonal nature of production and the dependence on biological processes and natural resources leaves producers subject to events beyond their control such as droughts, floods or diseases. The modern agriculture has increased the use of inputs specially for seed, fertilizers, irrigational water, machineries, implements etc. which has increased demand for agricultural credit. The adoption of modern technology, which is capital intensive, has commercialized agricultural production in India. Besides, the farmer's income is seasonal while his working expenses are spread over time. In addition, farmer's inadequate savings require the uses of more credit to meet the increasing capital requirements. Furthermore, credit is a unique resource, since it provides the opportunity to use additional inputs and capital items now and to pay for them from future earnings.…
