Kamjong district's NABARD plan for 2023-24 sees about ₹50.95 crore of bankable credit potential. Farming and allied work dominates — roughly ₹35.82 crore (about 70%) — while small businesses (MSME) account for ₹9.63 crore, split ₹7.41 crore for setting up/expanding and ₹2.21 crore working capital.
The biggest single opportunity is crop production, maintenance and marketing at ₹25.92 crore. Kamjong is mostly single-crop paddy land, but also grows maize, oilseeds, pulses, ginger and fruit like pineapple, orange, banana and passion fruit. Livestock and horticulture are the district's stated thrust areas: poultry (₹1.71 crore), sheep/goat/piggery (₹1.26 crore), dairy (₹0.79 crore) and plantation, horticulture and sericulture (₹2.03 crore). Inland fisheries add ₹1.56 crore, and food and agro processing another ₹1.91 crore, with paddy straw and rice husk available as raw material. Off-farm, there is ₹0.95 crore for housing and ₹2.46 crore for export credit.
The plan is honest about the hurdles. Kamjong has only two bank branches, so many people simply cannot reach a bank. Roads are poor, especially the NH-150 lifeline to Imphal. Markets, irrigation, storage godowns and extension services are all short. NABARD suggests using its RIDF, Food Processing, Dairy and Fisheries infrastructure funds, and asks banks to reach the financially excluded villages.
What the plan promotes
- Crop production, maintenance and marketing is the single largest opportunity at ₹25.92cr; the district is mono-cropped and paddy-dominant, with maize, oilseeds, pulses, sugarcane, potato, ginger and fruit crops (pineapple, orange, banana, papaya, lemon, passion fruit).
- Plantation, horticulture and sericulture term loans of ₹2.03cr, backed by 3 sericulture cooperatives and 7 forest & horticulture cooperatives in Kamjong.
- Poultry term credit of ₹1.71cr and sheep/goat/piggery of ₹1.26cr; piggery and dairy are named as new and emerging economic activities in the district.
- Fisheries (inland/pisciculture) potential of ₹1.56cr, with shallow and marshy land flagged as a further area for exploitation.
- Dairy term loans of ₹0.79cr, supported by 13 dairy & cattle cooperatives in Kamjong.
- Food and agro processing of ₹1.91cr, with good scope to use agricultural waste like paddy straw and rice husk.
Gaps the plan names
- Very thin banking presence: only 2 bank branches in Kamjong (7 in Ukhrul) as on 30.09.2022, making financial outreach and accessibility a major problem.
- Poor road connectivity and bad condition of roads — especially NH-150, the district's lifeline — is a major concern that holds back credit flow into all sectors.
- Considerable need to build basic rural infrastructure: markets, irrigation, storage godowns, extension services and training support; state government has limited revenue to fund this.
- Banks are urged to tap NABARD funds (RIDF, Food Processing Fund, LTIF, AIF, Dairy Infrastructure Development Fund and FIDF) to develop rural infrastructure.
- Banks need to cover the financially excluded areas of the districts.
