About this ebook
Credit in India during the Post-reforms period, one of the defining aspects of
the current phase of globalization and economic reforms is the increased
threat to the livelihoods of small farmers in developing countries. There are
instances of this across the developing world, from 1998 until the present;
thousands of small farmers have committed suicide in India. For the proper
functioning of an agriculture system farmers need to use many inputs. One
among them is credit. It is considered as an important part in the
development of agriculture.
The study is exclusively based on secondary data. The data have been
collected from various issues of Report on Currency and Finance (RBI),
Banking Statistics (RBI), Report on Trends and Progress in Banking in India
(RBI), RBI Bulletin (RBI), NABARD, various rounds of NSSO, Centre for
Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), Statistical Outline of India (Tata Services
Ltd.) and Economic Survey (Government of India).
The main objective of this book is to provide students and instructor
