Potential Linked Credit Plan forms the base on which every year the Annual Credit Plan (ACP) is prepared by the Lead Bank and bank wise/branch wise target is given. DDM appealed to the bankers to plan their credit disbursement structure right now and make their sincere effort to ensure maximum credit disbursement as against the target being given by the Lead bank for the year 2022-23.
Government of India has given thrust to the formation of FPOs, financing infrastructure through AIF (Agriculture Infrastructure fund), food processing etc. NABARD is also promoting Farmers Producers Organizations (FPOs) in a big way, as they have the potential to facilitate income enhancement at the individual farmer level. Financing Agriculture Term Loan, SHGs, JLGs, encouraging Integrated farming will help in doubling the income of farmers.
If only it were transparent then we would have seen a golden period in this country. But you know how leaks happen and a big chunk kind of vanishes in air. If 224cr for education is properly utilised then that itself would be the greatest achievement for these officials.
