Rajsamand's 2023-24 credit plan is worth Rs 1,893.60 crore. The money splits almost evenly between farming and small business: agriculture takes Rs 849.79 cr (44.9%) and MSME/small industry takes Rs 822.88 cr (43.5%), with the rest going to housing, education, exports, solar and self-help groups.
On the farm side, plain crop loans dominate at Rs 559.60 cr - this is maize country in the monsoon and wheat in winter, spread across roughly 145,755 mostly small holdings. The next real openings are dairy (Rs 74.27 cr), sheep, goat and pig rearing (Rs 22.03 cr) and fast-growing fruit orchards - amla, mango, papaya, lime and custard apple - worth about Rs 15.31 cr. Because water is scarce (five blocks are over-pumped), lending for drip and sprinkler systems, poly houses and farm machinery adds another Rs 57 cr.
For non-farm entrepreneurs, MSME term loans of Rs 718.85 cr plus Rs 104.04 cr of working capital back the district's mining, marble and handicraft trades, alongside a Rs 32.70 cr push for small food and agro-processing units under the PMFME scheme.
The plan's own warnings are worth heeding: tiny fragmented plots, hilly terrain, very little water, hardly any processing units, poor market and digital-banking access, and young people leaving for work. NABARD flags custom hiring centres, warehouses, pack houses and grading units as the missing links.
What the plan promotes
- Crop production is the anchor at Rs 559.60 cr - maize is the main kharif crop and wheat the main rabi crop across 145,755 farm holdings (79% small & marginal).
- Dairy is the biggest allied opportunity at Rs 74.27 cr, ahead of sheep/goat/piggery Rs 22.03 cr and poultry Rs 3.41 cr.
- Horticulture is expanding fast - amla, mango, papaya, lime and custard apple (sitaphal) plantations; plantation & horticulture credit Rs 15.31 cr.
- Farmers are shifting to water-saving tech - poly houses, sprinkler and drip irrigation; water-resources credit Rs 29.95 cr and farm mechanisation Rs 27.18 cr.
- MSME term credit of Rs 718.85 cr plus Rs 104.04 cr working capital, backed by mining/marble industry and PMEGP, Mukhyamantri Laghu Udyog, Mudra and Stand-Up schemes.
- Food & agro-processing credit of Rs 32.70 cr, supported by the PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme.
Gaps the plan names
- Shortage of credit flow to agriculture, very small and fragmented land holdings and difficult hilly terrain limit farm investment.
- Lack of agriculture and food-processing units in the district, forcing produce to leave unprocessed.
- Migration of rural people for income and jobs, and poor connect of villagers with digital banking.
- Poor availability of quality inputs - good seeds, fertiliser and pesticides - and very low water availability, with 5 blocks in the over-exploited groundwater category.
- Weak market access; farmers need better price discovery through markets and e-commerce, plus e-marketing platforms and logistics.
