Kasganj (Kanshiram Nagar) in the Aligarh division of Uttar Pradesh has a total priority-sector credit potential of about Rs 3,219 crore for 2023-24. The plan is overwhelmingly farm-led: agriculture is Rs 2,659 crore (about 83%) and MSME is Rs 435 crore, with smaller amounts for housing (Rs 55 cr), informal credit (Rs 38 cr), social infrastructure (Rs 21 cr), education, export and renewable energy.
The biggest opportunity is the crop economy itself (Rs 2,045 crore), built on wheat and sugarcane with paddy, potato, mustard, tobacco and mentha. Among allied lines, dairy stands out at Rs 141 crore — buffalo and goat rearing are the mainstay for small and marginal farmers — followed by irrigation/water resources (Rs 134 cr) and farm mechanisation (Rs 117 cr). Food and agro-processing is worth about Rs 37 crore, backed by 15 cold stores (capacity 931,631 MT) and 61 godowns, while the state's ODOP scheme anchors the MSME potential (mostly working capital).
The PLP names clear gaps: shortages of quality seed, fertiliser, nurseries, veterinary and hatchery units; poor power supply and missing milk routes; sodic soil, falling groundwater (Kasganj block is critical) and thin forest cover; and weak marketing plus undeveloped rural haats for non-farm produce. Suggested fixes include chilling units on milk routes, para-vet training, frozen-semen supply for breed improvement, and integrated micro-irrigation.
What the plan promotes
- Crop economy led by wheat (373,945 MT on 95,297 ha) and sugarcane (601,823 MT), with paddy, potato, mustard, tobacco and mentha; PLP for crop production, maintenance & marketing is Rs 2,044.70 cr
- Horticulture in mango, guava, amla and papaya, plus spice crops (green chilli, coriander, cumin, garlic, onion, fennel) and small volumes of medicinal-aromatic crops (tulsi, ashwagandha, sarpagandha, satavar)
- Dairy is the single biggest allied opportunity at Rs 141.29 cr; buffalo and goat rearing are the main livelihood for small and marginal farmers, with sheep-goat-piggery at Rs 33.57 cr and poultry at Rs 13.35 cr
- Water resources (Rs 134.15 cr) and farm mechanisation (Rs 117.43 cr) are large term-loan lines; district has 8,345 tractors, 19,248 power tillers and 3,457 agri pump-sets
- Food and agro-processing PLP of Rs 37.18 cr, supported by 15 cold-storage units (capacity 931,631 MT) and 61 godowns (23,343 MT)
- MSME potential of Rs 434.50 cr tied to the state ODOP (One District One Product) scheme, split working capital Rs 335.75 cr and term loan Rs 98.75 cr
Gaps the plan names
- Shortage of quality inputs: good-quality seed, fertiliser, nurseries, veterinary services, poultry hatchery units and cattle-feed units
- Power supply gaps and unavailability of milk routes; suggested action includes reviving old milk routes and setting up bulk-milk chilling/refrigeration units on them
- Land and water constraints: sodic soil, falling groundwater levels (Kasganj block is critical; Sahawar and Ganj Dundwara are semi-critical), and inadequate forest cover requiring large-scale afforestation
- Weak marketing system for non-farm produce and undeveloped rural haats; need for rural market yards and better market linkage
- Need for para-vet training, supply of frozen semen for cattle breed improvement, and integrated micro-irrigation and water-harvesting systems
