Hanumangarh's 2023-24 credit plan sizes up about Rs 16,950 crore of lending potential. It is an overwhelmingly farming district: agriculture takes 84.7% (about Rs 14,363 crore) while MSME/industry is just 10% (about Rs 1,697 crore), with the rest split across housing, exports, renewable energy, education and social infrastructure.
The biggest single opportunity is the seasonal crop loan at roughly Rs 10,028 crore (nearly 60% of the plan) - this is canal country growing wheat, cotton, gram, mustard, bajra, guar and groundnut across seven blocks (Hanumangarh, Pilibanga, Sangaria, Tibi, Rawatsar, Nohar, Bhadra). Beyond crop loans, the clearest business openings are in dairy (Rs 764 crore), minor irrigation / water resources (Rs 796 crore), farm mechanisation (Rs 424 crore) and food & agro-processing (about Rs 288 crore). Wheat is the district's One-District-One-Product pick, and NABARD is already funding warehouses, cold storage, PACS multi-service centres and a solar unit at Manaksar.
The plan is blunt about what is missing: infrastructure for processing, godowns, cold storage, horticulture and small industry is thin, and the district leans too heavily on farming - so long-term farm investment credit stays weak (over 90% of lending is short-term crop loans). It calls for reaching small and marginal farmers, financing landless farmers through Joint Liability Groups, and backing women's SHGs so micro-enterprises can create local jobs.
What the plan promotes
- One District One Product (ODOP): wheat selected as the district's flagship product for better marketing, exports and higher farmer incomes.
- NABARD RIDF has 319 projects running in the district with Rs 137.30 crore financed for rural roads, school buildings, veterinary hospital buildings and Kisan Seva-cum-land-record centres.
- NABARD sanctioned a PACS-as-MSC project through Hanumangarh Central Cooperative Bank to develop 19 village cooperative societies into multi-service centres.
- A small solar power unit sanctioned for Manaksar PACS under the Cooperative Development Fund as an innovative initiative.
- Thrust on setting up warehouses, cold storages, horticulture crops, integrated farming, land development/soil improvement, watershed development, seed production and vermicompost units.
- Focus on agri-ancillary units - food, fruit and vegetable processing, milk (dairy) processing, and agri-clinic/agri-business ventures.
Gaps the plan names
- Basic infrastructure and facilities are proportionately inadequate across many sectors, and over-dependence on agriculture keeps the growth of allied and ancillary activities very slow.
- Infrastructure needs to be built for agro-processing, horticulture development, godown/warehouse construction, fisheries, land development, minor irrigation, small & micro industries, animal husbandry and other allied sectors.
- Despite availability of raw material/agri produce, long-term (term-loan) credit flow into agriculture is not encouraging - roughly 90%+ of credit flow is short-term crop (KCC) loans.
- Institutional credit needs to be extended to reach small and marginal farmers, who are under-served.
- Bank finance required for livelihood development and micro-enterprise employment so poor women in SHGs can become self-reliant.
