Sehore's NABARD plan for 2024-25 sees about ₹7,240 crore of bankable credit potential. Farming dominates: roughly 86% (₹6,202 cr) sits in agriculture and about 12% (₹861 cr) in small businesses (MSMEs), with the rest in housing, education, social infrastructure and renewable energy.
The single biggest opportunity is ordinary crop loans — ₹4,085 cr — because Sehore, in Bhopal division, is a soybean, wheat and gram bowl. Beyond crop loans, the plan flags clear clusters to build: water and irrigation (₹492 cr), including the Pipergaon Lift and Narmada-Parvati Link schemes that water tens of thousands of hectares; dairy and poultry (₹290 cr + ₹206 cr) with small private dairy units and milk-collection centres; farm machinery (₹262 cr) like tractors and custom-hiring centres; and food processing (₹140 cr) — especially soybean products (soya milk, badi, paneer, namkeen) plus flour, besan, bakery and packaging units. NABARD has already set up 17 Farmer Producer Organisations and is forming Joint Liability Groups for landless farmers, working through a District Cooperative Bank with 19 branches and 108 village credit societies.
The plan's own warnings: poor, patchy data on credit flow; weak storage and marketing capacity; gaps in farmers' land records that block Kisan Credit Cards; and thin micro-irrigation and processing infrastructure to lift the district above selling raw grain.
What the plan promotes
- Crop-loan (KCC) financing for the district's soybean-wheat-gram belt — crop production is the biggest line at ₹4084.72 cr; PLP urges digitising land records so more farmers can get Kisan Credit Cards
- Micro-irrigation and lift-irrigation: drip/sprinkler credit plus RIDF-backed schemes like the Pipergaon Lift Irrigation Project (₹298.24 lakh, 35,000 ha command) and Narmada-Parvati Link Project (₹1131.84 lakh, 50,000 ha command) — water resources potential ₹491.51 cr
- Farm mechanisation (₹262.28 cr): tractors, power tillers, combine harvesters, seed-drill machines, rotavators and custom-hiring centres
- Dairy and poultry: small private dairy units, poultry and goat-rearing, plus milk-marketing centres — dairy ₹290.15 cr and poultry ₹206.31 cr
- Soybean-based food processing: soya milk, soya badi, soya paneer, soya namkeen, plus wheat flour, maida, gram & chilli powder, confectionery, bakery and food-packaging-material units — food & agro processing potential ₹140.09 cr
- Plantation, horticulture and sericulture development (₹423.96 cr)
Gaps the plan names
- No accurate, granular sector and sub-sector data on credit flow — relevant departments lack the figures needed to estimate potential in several areas, the PLP's main stated limitation
- Inadequate storage and marketing infrastructure — agri-infrastructure storage/marketing creation potential of only ₹58.50 cr against a soybean-wheat-gram surplus
- Land-record gaps that block KCC access — the PLP wants farmers' land records digitised and issued so they can obtain Kisan Credit Cards
- Low micro-irrigation coverage — PLP calls for special credit focus on drip/sprinkler systems and completion of lift/link irrigation schemes to expand assured-irrigation command areas
- Thin food-processing and value-addition base — the district leans on raw soybean/wheat output and needs more processing, packaging and confectionery units
