Tengnoupal district's NABARD plan sees about Rs 95.17 crore of bankable credit potential for 2023-24 (published jointly with neighbouring Chandel, but these are Tengnoupal's own figures). Roughly 55% is farm and allied lending (Rs 52.15 cr) and 29% is MSME (Rs 27.20 cr), with housing (Rs 5.95 cr) and SHG/JLG credit (Rs 4.27 cr) making up much of the rest.
The single biggest opportunity is crop lending at Rs 42.01 cr for a paddy-led farm economy that also grows maize, ginger, pineapple, banana, chillies, turmeric and passion fruit. NABARD flags animal husbandry and horticulture as the top thrust areas: sheep-goat-piggery (Rs 1.48 cr), poultry (Rs 1.05 cr) and plantation/horticulture (Rs 1.31 cr) are the largest term-loan lines, and piggery and poultry are singled out for special Area Development schemes. There is Rs 1.54 cr of scope in agro and food processing, though the district has no processing units running today. Off-farm, MSME money leans toward handloom, handicraft and weaving - Tengnoupal has 29 weaving cooperatives - and a Rural Mart is set up at Pallel to sell these goods.
The plan's own warnings: the district's lifeline NH-102 (running through Moreh to Myanmar) is in bad shape, KCC and institutional-credit coverage are very low, jhum shifting-cultivation and deforestation threaten sustainability, and rural markets, irrigation and storage are all thin. Weak cooperatives and banks missing their credit targets round out the gaps.
What the plan promotes
- Paddy is the major crop, with maize, oilseeds, pulses, potato, ginger, pineapple, banana, chillies, pea, turmeric and passion fruit also grown across the district's rain-fed and shifting-cultivation lands
- Animal husbandry and horticulture are the biggest thrust areas for 2023-24, both with strong local demand and market scope; piggery and poultry are named as Area Development Plans/Schemes for special focus
- Sheep/goat/piggery is the largest allied term-loan line at Rs 1.48 cr, followed by poultry Rs 1.05 cr and dairy Rs 0.42 cr
- Plantation & horticulture term lending of Rs 1.31 cr backed by NABARD's Tribal Development Programme (land-based livelihood in horticulture) implemented in the area
- Agro & food processing potential of Rs 1.54 cr, though the district currently has no operating food, sugar, fruit, spice, dairy or meat processing units per the district profile
- MSME potential of Rs 27.20 cr concentrated in handloom, handicraft and weaving (Tengnoupal has 29 weaving and 11 poultry cooperatives), with NABARD's Rural Mart sanctioned to Rumpi SHG VLF in Pallel for marketing handloom and MFP products
Gaps the plan names
- Poor rural connectivity and the bad condition of National Highway No. 102 (the district's lifeline to other states and Myanmar) hold back credit flow; improving it is expected to change local livelihoods
- Very low KCC coverage among farmers and poor access to institutional credit; the plan asks banks to cover far more farmers under Kisan Credit Card and issue Rupay KCC cards
- Shifting (jhum) cultivation dominates and rapid deforestation for firewood and timber is a concern; terrace/settled cultivation and a jhum-improvement policy with material and technology support are needed for sustainability
- Weak basic rural infrastructure - markets, irrigation, storage godowns, extension services and training - which the plan says can be built using NABARD's RIDF
- Cooperatives/LAMPS perform poorly on agricultural lending due to inadequate funds and weak management; reviving LAMPS and scaling them into Multi-State Cooperatives is flagged as important
