Tuensang district's credit plan for 2023-24 estimates about Rs 24.76 crore of priority-sector lending potential (for Tuensang alone, excluding the newly carved-out Noklak and Shamator). Farming dominates: agriculture and allied activities make up roughly Rs 20.38 crore (about 82%) of the plan, while MSME adds Rs 2.07 crore and the rest goes to housing, education, social infrastructure and SHG/JLG credit.
The biggest single opportunity is crop farming at Rs 11.06 crore - rice and maize are the staples, alongside naga dal, millet, soyabean, ginger, cardamom, orange, banana and kiwi. On the livestock side, sheep, goat and piggery loans at Rs 3.46 crore stand out, followed by plantation and horticulture (including sericulture) at Rs 1.01 crore and fisheries. Local industry is built on handloom and handicraft, and the hills hold coal, marble, limestone and magnetite. NABARD has backed a Cluster Based Business Organization (Eleutheros Christian Society) to form farmer producer organisations and funded a zero-energy cold storage.
The plan is blunt about the gaps that hold the district back: heavy dependence on monsoon and traditional jhum cultivation, very little storage and processing capacity, poor roads and no regulated markets, weak supply of technical and bio-fertilizer inputs, and a shortage of improved animal breeds, feed and extension support.
What the plan promotes
- Rice and maize are the main food grains; kolar/naga dal, small millet, soyabean, ginger, cardamom, orange, banana and kiwi are the key horticulture produce
- Sheep, goat & piggery is the single biggest term-loan opportunity at Rs 3.46 cr, followed by plantation & horticulture (incl. sericulture) at Rs 1.01 cr
- NABARD selected Eleutheros Christian Society, Tuensang as the Cluster Based Business Organization (CBBO) to promote and form new FPOs in the district under the CSS-FPO initiative
- A NABCONS-supported 'Zero Energy Cold Storage' (project cost Rs 25.00 lakh, grant Rs 10.00 lakh) was sanctioned to Eleutheros Christian Society to help farmers store and sell produce
- Farm Sector Promotional Fund grant project 'Mitigating food and nutritional insecurity...through convergence' (cost Rs 25.00 lakh, NABARD share Rs 8.00 lakh) completed with Eleutheros Christian Society
- Thrust areas for 2023-24: farm mechanization, cash crop development and nursery development, quality seed and feed production units, integrated farming, post-harvest facilities and formation of FPOs and SHG federations
Gaps the plan names
- Dependence on monsoon and traditional (jhum) methods of cultivation
- Lack of storage, processing units and post-harvest infrastructure
- Transportation bottlenecks and absence of regulated markets
- Lack of technical and bio-fertilizer inputs as well as inadequate bank credit
- Limited supply of improved breeds of cattle and pigs, concentrated feed and lack of extension services
