East Kameng's credit plan for 2023-24 sizes up about 13.66 crore of bankable priority-sector lending. Farming dominates: agriculture takes 10.72 crore (78%), while small industry (MSME) is just 1.40 crore (10%) and the rest goes to housing, education, renewable energy and SHG lending.
The money follows what the land and people already do. Crop loans for paddy, maize, millet, ginger and pulses are worth about 5.33 crore. Animal rearing is the standout term-loan opening: dairy alone is 1.59 crore, with poultry (0.44 crore) and sheep, goat and piggery (0.54 crore) on top. Orchards of orange, pineapple, banana and guava underpin a 1.27 crore plantation-and-horticulture line. The state's own Atmanirbhar Yojona scheme (310 crore statewide) is subsidising exactly these crop, orchard and livestock activities, so bank loans layer on top of grants.
Processing is the missing piece — the district has almost no agro-processing units, so only 0.40 crore is earmarked for food and agro processing, and new FPOs are being formed under 'One District One Product'. Handloom, handicraft and sericulture are flagged as women-friendly ventures.
The plan is blunt about the hurdles: no irrigation and heavy monsoon dependence, recurrent floods, rugged roads that get cut off, no regulated markets, few storage or processing units, poor cattle and pig breeds, and weak extension services. It urges RIDF/NIDA funding to close these gaps.
What the plan promotes
- Atmanirbhar Yojona (Krishi & Bagwani) launched by GoAP in 2021-22 with 120.00 crore front-end subsidy, supporting 5500 farmers and 600 SHGs; budget enhanced to 310.00 crore for 2022-23 to cover Krishi, Bagwani, Plantation, Pashupalan and Matsyapalan.
- Animal husbandry is the biggest term-loan opportunity: Dairy development 1.59 cr, Poultry 0.44 cr, and Sheep/Goat/Piggery 0.54 cr, backed by the local population's food habits.
- Plantation and horticulture (1.27 cr potential) suits the district's agro-climate; main horticultural crops are Orange, Pine-apple, Banana and Guava.
- Main field crops are Paddy, Maize, Millet, Sweet-Potato, Chilly, Pulses, Oilseeds and Ginger; Jhum (shifting) cultivation is slowly being replaced by permanent cultivation.
- Formation of Farmer Producer Organisations under the Central Sector Scheme (10,000 FPOs) initiated in the district, to be promoted along 'One District One Product' lines.
- Textile (handloom), handicrafts and sericulture flagged as high-employment, women-centric thrust areas suited to the district's culture and short gestation.
Gaps the plan names
- Over-dependence on monsoon and lack of irrigation facilities, forcing subsistence agriculture; recurrent flood damages crops and roads.
- Lack of storage and processing units plus transportation and marketing bottlenecks, with an absence of regulated markets in the district.
- Rugged terrain with few surface roads that get cut off during summer floods and landslides, making transport and communications extremely difficult.
- Shortage of technical and fertiliser inputs and inadequate credit inputs; limited supply of improved breeds of cattle and pigs, concentrated feed, and weak extension services.
- Absence of employment and livelihood avenues, and drugs/opium consumption among youth and older groups.
