Present scenario of PSL
PSBs met target of 18% to agriculture
Almost half of the NPAs of PSBs are

attributed to Priority sectors
Private and foreign banks met targets

only by 16.2% and 16.7%
Banking sector failed to meet overall

target to PSL
Banks can achieve their 18% target to

agriculture sector by lending to indirect
agriculture sectors
DFI
About
 Doubling Farmer’s Income at least twice the
current scenario
 Launched by PM Narendra Modi on Feb,
2016
 To address Agrarian Distress and promote
Farmer’s welfare
 Targeted annual growth 10.4%
 To reduce income gap of agriculture and non-
agriculture workers
Why DFI
 India became self sufficient in food production

but not in farmers income
 One fifth of rural households is under poverty
line
 Farmer’s income remained low in relation to
those who works in non-farm sector

Strategies for improving farmer’s income
 Develop initiatives

-agricultural practices
 Policies

Role of banks in DFI
 The biggest concern for the banks should be if food inflation
is not controlled, all other economic activities will suffer
 Money without backing of knowledge creates liability.
Current approach of banking system is creating more liability
than assets in rural economy, this need to be concerned
 Banks must relook into their rural operations-rural branches
must be develop as knowledge center rather than lending
shops
 There must be coordination and correlation between Trade
policy, industrial policy, today they are in separate
compartments
 Under lead bank scheme, lead banks are advised to work
closely with NABARD
Role of private sector
 About 80% of the agriculture sector is driven by private
companies
 Play major role from providing best seeds to buying the
output
 Provide technology on the field and best cultivation
practices to farmers
 Promotes organic farming
 They procure products directly from farmers, weeding
out the middlemen
 Ensure remunerative prices
 Ex- Adani Group, ITC, Hindustan Unilever, Godrej group
Prospects of Doubling farmer’s income

Road map and action plan

Action needed in sources of income
1) Development initiatives
2) Livestock productivity
3) Generation and dissemination of
improved technologies
4) Policies and reforms
Challenges for DFI
 Farming not the only source of income
 Non concerted effort-
Policies on farming animals, rural non-
farm activities and wages-salary
employment like MGNREGA are not
synchronized and harmonized
 Lack of infrastructure
