Udaipur's NABARD credit plan for 2023-24 sizes the district's bankable potential at about Rs 8,145 crore. The money is split roughly one-quarter to farming (Rs 2,093 cr, 26%) and nearly two-thirds to small business - MSME at Rs 5,301 cr (65%), by far the biggest opportunity - with housing (Rs 498 cr) and other priority lending making up the rest.
Inside farming, the largest ready pools are crop loans for maize, wheat, groundnut and pulses (Rs 1,173 cr) and term loans for allied trades. Dairy leads the allied lines at Rs 182 cr, backed by 466 milk-producer cooperatives; water and irrigation works are worth Rs 157 cr and farm machinery Rs 141 cr. Fruit and medicinal crops - custard apple, guava, amla, aloe vera and safed musli - plus food and agro-processing (Rs 52 cr) round out the on-farm story. The plan pushes hard on setting up 10,000 FPOs, cold storages, warehouses, custom-hiring centres and processing units, and on giving every eligible farmer a Kisan Credit Card.
The PLP is candid about what holds Udaipur back: credit barely reaches farms, roughly 78% of farmers hold under one hectare, the terrain is hilly, and there are too few food-processing units - so people migrate out for work. It also flags rising bad loans, land records that are not fully digitised, weak digital banking in villages, and cooperatives that lend only about Rs 0.40 lakh per member.
What the plan promotes
- Maize is the district's main crop with 232083 MT production and average yield 1465 kg/ha (2018-19); wheat, groundnut, pulses and gram are the other major crops grown across 347031 ha gross cropped area, of which only 105345 ha is irrigated
- Dairy is the biggest allied opportunity with a 181.66 cr term-loan potential; the district has 466 milk-producer cooperatives and the PLP urges more milk-collection centres and bringing milk producers into the organised sector through FPOs
- Formation and promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), skilling of rural youth, and providing livelihoods to tribal families under the Integrated Tribal Development Programme are the named developmental initiatives
- Thrust on investment in warehouses, cold storages and marketing infrastructure - custom hiring centres, scientific warehouses, pack houses, testing/grading units, cold chains, logistics, primary processing centres and e-marketing platforms
- Fruit crops include custard apple (sitaphal), guava, papaya and amla, plus medicinal plants such as aloe vera (ghritkumari) and safed musli; plantation & horticulture (incl. sericulture) carries a 54.35 cr potential
- MSME is the largest single sector at 5300.61 cr, backed by schemes routed through the district - Mukhyamantri Laghu Udyog Protsahan Yojana, PM Employment Generation Programme, PM FME micro food-processing scheme, and Mudra/Stand-Up India for micro-entrepreneurs
Gaps the plan names
- Shortfall of credit flow into agriculture, small and fragmented landholdings (about 78% of farmers are marginal with under 1 hectare), and uneven/hilly terrain that constrains cultivation
- Lack of agriculture and food-processing units in the district, pushing rural people to migrate out for income and employment
- Rising NPA accounts and reluctance of banks to finance term-loan projects under agriculture, worsened by loan-waiver expectations that dampen fresh credit flow
- Incomplete digitisation of land records for all existing farmers, which blocks smooth ground-level credit
- Weak digital-banking penetration among rural residents and the need for more rural bank branches, financial-literacy centres and BCs to deepen financial inclusion
