The consolidated farm credit potential in Uttar Pradesh has been pegged at Rs 51,400 crore for the 2010-11 fiscal by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard).
This is 34 per cent higher than the likely credit flow of Rs 38,462 crore for the current financial year.
Nabard, a central re-finance agency, has estimated the ground level credit potential for development under agriculture, rural infrastructure, water resources, horticulture, farm mechanisation and rural non-farm sector in all the 71 districts of UP.
“We prepare Potential Linked Credit Plan (PLP) on an annual basis for each of the 71 districts,” Nabard CGM D P Mishra said.
District level PLPs are aggregated at the state level to present a comprehensive picture of the available potentials at macro level. “This helps the planners at government-level and other organisations to firm up their plans and strategies,” he added.
