Hisar's NABARD credit plan for 2023-24 sees about 11,125 crore of lending potential across the priority sector. Farming and allied activities make up roughly three-quarters of that (about 8,285 crore), with small business (MSME) the next big block at about 2,051 crore.
Crop loans are the single biggest opportunity at about 5,585 crore (around half the whole plan), covering wheat, rice, bajra, gram and cash crops like cotton and mustard, plus horticulture such as kinnow, malta, ber and amla. On the livestock side, dairy stands out at about 262 crore, backed by a very large buffalo and cattle population; poultry (about 82 crore) and plantation and horticulture (about 82 crore) follow. Farm mechanisation offers about 150 crore, helped by a new Custom Hiring Centre for crop-residue management. There is also roughly 673 crore for farm infrastructure — warehouses, godowns, marketing yards and cold storage — to reduce post-harvest losses.
Hisar has textile and steel units alongside many small handloom, furniture and handicraft workshops, which drives the MSME potential. The plan also flags 304 crore for renewable energy and waste use.
The plan's own gaps: too few processing units, cold stores and rural godowns; patchy electricity; low awareness of government schemes; weak Self Help Group and Farmer Producer Organisation formation; and stubble-burning that could instead feed baler, vermicompost and bio-gas units.
What the plan promotes
- Crop loan is the anchor at 5585.41 cr (~50% of the plan); Hisar's main crops are wheat, rice, bajra and gram, cash crops cotton and mustard, and horticulture crops kinnow, malta, ber and amla, with flowers rose and marigold
- Dairy is the largest allied term-loan line at 262.26 cr, backed by a large cattle and buffalo population (buffalo ~425,800 head) across the district's 322 villages
- Farm mechanisation potential of 150.45 cr, supported by a new Custom Hiring Centre approved by the Agriculture & Farmer Welfare Department for crop-residue management and modern machinery
- Agriculture infrastructure of 672.52 cr including 407.17 cr for warehouses, godowns, marketing yards and cold storage to cut post-harvest losses
- MSME potential of 2050.50 cr; besides textile and steel units, workers are active in small/cottage industries such as handloom, wood and steel furniture, and handicrafts
- NABARD is promoting Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and financing of Self Help Groups, Farmer Clubs and Joint Liability Groups to run farming on business lines
Gaps the plan names
- Farmers need post-harvest infrastructure — food processing units, regular markets, cold storage and rural godowns — plus power infrastructure to tap renewable energy given the district's unreliable electricity supply
- Awareness gaps: banks (through BC/BF agents, farmer groups) must make farmers aware of government schemes, and link them to FPOs and Self Help Groups to access benefits
- Weak formation and financing of Self Help Groups, Farmer Clubs and Joint Liability Groups; landless and tenant farmers need JLGs to access credit under financial inclusion
- Need for awareness on quality seeds, fertiliser, medicines, organic farming, modern equipment, and soil & water testing labs, seed depots and marketing centres to raise output
- Straw/paddy-residue burning drives climate change; balers to make blocks from residue, plus vermicompost and bio-gas units from cattle dung, are needed
