Lalitpur, a Bundelkhand district in south-west Uttar Pradesh ringed on three sides by Madhya Pradesh, has a 2023-24 credit potential of about 2121.53 crore under NABARD's plan — 8.45% higher than last year. Farming dominates completely: agriculture accounts for 1941.96 crore (about 92%), while MSME is a modest 118.49 crore (63.80 crore term loans plus 54.68 crore working capital).
The single biggest opportunity is straightforward crop credit at 1435.52 crore, mainly for wheat (around 189,000 ha) and sesame (around 74,000 ha) grown on the district's red and black soils. Beyond crops, the strongest term-lending clusters are dairy (90.19 crore), minor irrigation and water resources (103.57 crore, drawing on seven dams including Matatila, Rajghat and Govind Sagar), farm mechanisation (74.76 crore), and fisheries (22.95 crore). Food and agro-processing carries 45.00 crore, building on existing flour and dal mills (42 units) and a milk-processing unit. NABARD's own thrust for the year is promoting farmer producer organisations plus storage and logistics.
The plan is frank about the hurdles: roughly 86% of farms are small or marginal, so farming stays traditional and low-value, and the district lacks basic infrastructure in irrigation, horticulture, land development and animal husbandry. Falling productivity, shrinking sown area and rising costs squeeze incomes. NABARD stresses that filling these gaps and coordinating all stakeholders is what will turn this potential into real lending.
What the plan promotes
- Crop production credit of 1435.52 cr for wheat (~189115 ha), sesame/til (~74450 ha), gram, urad and sugarcane on Bundelkhand red/mixed-black soils
- Dairy term-credit potential of 90.19 cr, with KCC saturation drives extended to animal husbandry and fishery farmers
- Water resources / minor irrigation term loans of 103.57 cr, tapping the district's seven dams (Matatila, Govind Sagar, Jamni, Rajghat, Sajnam, Shahzad, Rohini)
- Farm mechanisation credit of 74.76 cr for a district where ~86% of holdings are small/marginal
- Food & agro-processing credit of 45.00 cr building on existing flour/dal mills (42 units, 160 TPD), a milk processing unit and 5 cattle-feed units
- FPO / producer-organisation promotion plus storage and logistics infrastructure named as the 2023-24 thrust area
Gaps the plan names
- About 86% of holdings are small/marginal, keeping farming in a traditional low-value form with a shortage of resources and mindset to shift toward agri-business
- Gaps in basic infrastructure across crop production, horticulture, land development and minor irrigation that must be filled to unlock the assessed potential
- Weak animal-husbandry support infrastructure (veterinary, milk collection/processing chains) limiting dairy and livestock credit uptake
- Falling agricultural productivity, shrinking net sown area and rising cultivation costs pressuring farmer incomes
- Need for storage and logistics services for agri products and for producer-organisation infrastructure to aggregate output
