NABARD pegs Jalore's 2023-24 credit potential at about Rs 3,872 crore. Farming dominates: roughly Rs 3,072 crore (79%) is farm-related, while non-farm business (MSME) accounts for Rs 600 crore (15.5%). The single biggest slice is ordinary crop loans at Rs 2,395 crore for growers of wheat, mustard, cumin, gram (winter) and bajra, castor, isabgol and moong (monsoon).
Beyond crops, three concrete clusters stand out. Livestock is a core livelihood — the district has around 5.9 lakh buffaloes and 3.5 lakh goats, and NABARD has picked dairy (Rs 72 cr) and sheep/goat rearing (Rs 50 cr) schemes for all 10 blocks. Farm equipment and irrigation together carry roughly Rs 157 crore (tractors/machinery Rs 90 cr, water works Rs 67 cr). Food and agro-processing offers Rs 72 crore, helped by the PMFME scheme and a state 3-year licence-fee waiver. Industry is thin — marble and granite are the only major industries.
The plan's own gaps: too little storage — warehouses and cold storages need funding to lift farming; rural support services and easy, low-paperwork savings/credit/insurance for the poor are lacking; banks must chase down old overdue loans (the district cooperative bank especially); and there is unmet demand to lend to tenant and marginal farmers through group-guarantee models.
What the plan promotes
- Under area-based schemes NABARD selected dairy and sheep/goat rearing plans for all 10 development blocks of Jalore, backed by a banking plan involving NABARD, the Animal Husbandry Department, the Lead District Manager and district banks
- Term-loan potential is led by farm mechanisation (Rs 90.29 cr), minor irrigation / water resources (Rs 66.57 cr), dairy development (Rs 71.69 cr) and sheep-goat-pig rearing (Rs 49.63 cr)
- Livestock is a mainstay: 2012 census shows about 5.87 lakh buffaloes, 2.90 lakh indigenous cattle and 3.52 lakh goats; 477 dairy cooperative societies operate in the district
- Food and agro-processing carries Rs 71.60 cr of potential; PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME), Rajasthan Agro-Processing, Agri-Business & Agri-Export Promotion Policy 2019 and a 3-year licence-fee waiver for industrial units are being leveraged
- MSME potential of Rs 600 cr, though the district is industrially backward with marble and granite quarrying as its only major industries
- Rabi crops include wheat, barley, gram, mustard, linseed, peas, cumin, coriander and fenugreek; kharif includes bajra, jowar, isabgol (psyllium), castor, urad, moong and moth; fruit/veg include guava, papaya, lemon, jamun, mulberry, mango, muskmelon and watermelon
Gaps the plan names
- Investment in warehouses, cold storages and other marketing infrastructure must be prioritised to encourage the agriculture sector
- Rural infrastructure and support services need strengthening to generate extra employment, open new economic opportunities and raise credit absorption capacity
- Savings, credit, insurance and money-transfer services must be made accessible to the poor with minimum paperwork and maximum convenience
- Rapid, concrete Critical Interventions are needed in agriculture and animal husbandry
- Banks, with government support, must intensify recovery of old overdue loans — especially the Jalore Central Cooperative Bank, which needs special attention on overdue recovery
