HighlightsEconomic Environment1. Indian economy, one of the key drivers of global growth, had a relatively slower GDP growth at 6.5 per cent in 2011-12 which can be attributed to the slowdown in the world economy, as well as to domestic factors such as inflation, tight monetary policy and cutting back on the fiscal stimulus. Lower growth of 6.5 per cent in the economy was mainly on account of slippage in the manufacturing sector growth (3.9 per cent as against 7.2 per cent in 2010-11) as also agriculture sector (2.8 per cent against 7.0 per cent in the preceding year). With near double-digit growth, it was the services sector which held Indias growth performance together. 2. Growth of consumption expenditure and gross fixed capital formation in real terms was 6.0 per cent and 5.6 per cent, respectively, during 2011-12, compared to 8.1 per cent and 7.5 per cent, in 201011. Consumption expenditure grew, though at a lesser rate, mainly due to largely consistent private consumption. 3. Headline inflation, after remaining persistently high over the past two years showed signs of moderation towards the end of 2011-12. Financial year 2011-12 started off with a headline inflation of 9.7 per cent, which briefly touched double digits in September 2011, before coming down to 6.6 per cent in January 2012. The shift in the nature and causes of inflation in India was a natural fallout of the structural changes that the economy had undergone. Both domestic and global factors determined the inflationary trend. However, the inflationary pressures during 2011-12 in India was due to the interplay of a number of immediate and some underlying long-term factors such as high price of primary articles driven by vegetables, eggs and meat brought about by changing dietary pattern, increasing global commodity prices, etc. 4. Agricultural exports increased from `1,13,117 crore during 2010-11 to `1, 41,095 crore during 201112, registering a growth of 24.73 per cent. Increase in agricultural exports has been mainly due to higher i exports of basmati rice, raw tobacco, meat and meat preparations, castor oil and tea. 5. Moderate growth rate of agriculture (2.8 per

cent) was in the backdrop of several constraints which are long term in nature. Evidence shows that besides tackling low growth in the agriculture sector, dealing with high and increasing volatility in the wake of climate change, is going to be a major policy challenge. Moreover, Indian agriculture growth has been varying considerably at the state level, implying that uniform prescriptions across the states may not work. 6. Small farmers, who form 83 per cent of the

numbers, now operate about 41 per cent of the total area, indicating that the base of Indian agriculture is getting smaller. Estimates suggest that with 51 per cent share in the value of agriculture output, small holders contribute significantly to food security. Therefore, the biggest challenge today is ensuring that the small holders do not get marginalised and excluded from the benefits of the growth process. 7. Since a large part of agriculture depends on

rainfall, receiving 899.9 mm of rainfall which was 1.0 per cent more than the Long Period Average (LPA) during the South-West monsoon (June-September) 2011, was a positive feature. Reservoirs also showed normal levels of water availability. 8. Production of food grains during 2011-12 was

at an all time record level of 252.56 (3rd Advanced Estimate) million tonnes mainly due to increase in production of rice and wheat. This happened despite a decline in overall area under food grains during 2011-12 (1,254.92 lakh ha.) as compared to 2010-11(1,267.65 lakh ha.). The decline was due to a shortfall in the area under jowar in Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat; bajra in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Haryana; and in pulses in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. The area under coarse cereals and oilseeds has also come down as compared to the previous year.

9.

With urbanisation and economy growing in

` 5,09,040 crore as on 31 March 2012, achieving 107.2 per cent of the target. Commercial banks, Cooperative banks and Regional Rural Banks disbursed ` 3,68,616 crore, `86,185 crore and `54,239 crore, respectively, constituting 72 per cent, 17 per cent and 11 per cent of the total credit flow during 2011-12. 15. The share of Gross Capital Formation (GCF)

the range of 7 to 8 per cent, there has been a shift in the demand from cereals to non-cereal food items like pulses, edible oils, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat and fish. These accounted for 70 per cent of the wholesale price index (WPI) basket for primary food items. The food inflation during the year were largely due to the constraints experienced in increasing the supply of these commodities in the short run, as compared to their demand. 10. On the agricultural inputs side, seed sector

in agriculture & allied sector in total GCF over the past few years has been hovering between 6 and 8 per cent as compared to about 18 per cent observed in early 1980s, implying that the non-agriculture sectors have been receiving higher investment resulting in growth disparities. This is in line with the falling share of agriculture in the overall GDP , which is in conformity with the development patterns observed elsewhere. Yet keeping in view the high population pressure on agriculture, the need for substantial increase in investment felt. Capital in agriculture in is being increasingly formation agriculture

exhibited an improved performance. During 2010-11, 277.3 lakh quintals of certified/ quality seeds were distributed. Production of breeder and foundation seed reached 1.19 and 17.53 lakh quintals, respectively during 2010-11, registering 13.53 and 7.8 per cent growth over the previous year. 11. During 2010-11, an irrigation potential of

566.24 thousand hectares has been created by States from major, medium and minor irrigation projects under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP). 12. Despite making efforts to develop irrigation,

( `1,42,254 crore in 2010-11) now primarily relies on private investment. Considering that public investment has an enabling effect on private investment, the stagnant share of the former is a matter of concern. 16. Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme introduced

ensuring adequate water availability for agriculture is becoming an increasingly important concern. The efficiency of surface water irrigation has been on the decline, while groundwater, the major source of irrigation, suffers from over-exploitation in most of the States resulting in steep decline in the groundwater table. 13. Nearly, 65 per cent of agriculture is rain-fed

in 1998-99 has facilitated smooth flow of credit to farmers. During 2011-12, 10.07 million KCCs were issued by banks with sanctioned credit limit of ` 54,269 crore. Of the 113.91 million credit cards issued cumulatively, commercial banks issued 53.06 million cards (46.58%) followed by Co-operative Banks with 43.66 million cards (38.33%) and Regional Rural Banks with 17.19 million cards (15.09%). 17. 8.0, Minimum Support Price (MSP) for common 14.73, 6.67, 10.41 and 13.79 per cent,

and located in resource poor regions. These regions are home to a majority of small and resource poor farmers whose contribution to food and nutrition security has been acknowledged. Therefore, there is a need for greater understanding of rain-fed agriculture and framework for its development. 14. Agriculture credit growth as a facilitator, has

paddy, wheat, arhar, moong and urad increased by respectively, during 2011-12 over 2010-11. There was no change in the MSP of cotton. The procurement of rice and wheat as on March 1, 2012 at 26.8 million tonnes and 28.3 million tonnes, respectively, represented a decline of (-) 21.63 per cent and increase of 25.78 per cent as compared to the corresponding date last year. ii

been consistent during the past few years. As against the target of `4,75,000 crore of credit flow to agriculture for 2011-12, the banking system disbursed

The significance of agriculture sector in Its wide-ranging impact on reducing

growth is well-recognised The structural concer ns and other issues brought out above, have a critical bearing on the policies and per formance of NABARD.

Business Operations19. The total financial support extended by per cent in Eastern Region and 55 per cent in the rest of the country. 23. With a view to augmenting ST-SAO Refinance NABARD during 2011-12 stood at `82,339.48 crore, registering a growth of 36.13 per cent over 2010-11.

Production Credit20. The total production credit disbursed, as on 31 March 2012, was ` 48,981 crore.

IRural Economic EnvironmentA. Economic Scenarioa. Gross Domestic ProductThe Indian economy continued to be one of the key drivers of global growth, even with its slower Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth at 6.5 per cent in 2011-12, compared to a growth of 8.4 per cent achieved in two previous years (Table 1.1). The slowdown can be partly attributed to global factors viz., the slowdown in the world economy, exacerbation of the euro zone crisis, hardening of crude oil prices in the international market, as well as to domestic factors, such as the imperatives of dealing with inflation by tightening monetary policy and cutting back on the fiscal stimulus. The slowdown is mainly on account of the sluggishness in industrial sector, which registered a growth rate of 3.9 per cent in theTable 1.1: Economic Indicators Annual per cent change Particulars Overall GDP GDP from Agriculture & Allied Activities Foodgrain Production Industrial Production Inflation as measured by WPI Domestic Savings (as % of GDP) Capital Formation (as % of GDP) Fiscal Deficit (as % of GDP) Imports (% change) Exports (% change) Trade Balance (as % of GDP*) External Debt (as % of GDP*) 2009-10 8.4 1.0 (-)7.1 10.5 3.6 33.8 36.6 6.5 (-)5.0 (-)3.5 (-)2.8 18.1 2010-11 8.4 7.0 (QE) 6.8 7.8 9.4 32.3 35.1 4.8 28.2 40.5 (-)2.7 17.8 4.6 29.4 23.5 (-) 3.6 2011-12 6.5 2.8(RE)

financial year 2011-12 compared to 7.2 per cent in the corresponding period of the previous year. The growth in agriculture was 2.8 per cent, which is much lower compared to the high level of growth achieved during the previous year. With growth rate just short of double digits, service sector continues to be the mainstay of the economy holding Indias overall growth together. 1.2 the Increasing integration of Indian economy with world economy and greater integration of

agricultural sector with the overall economy has thrown up opportunities as well as challenges for agriculture, where concerns regarding food security and the subsidy regime continue to prevail. The sharp distinction between rural and urban is diminishing and a kind of ruralurban Some crux of of continuum this the is is emerging, in the while particularly with service sector occupying the lead in rural areas. areas. The captured is that, compositional shift in the consumption pattern in rural matter globalisation works through macro parameters, its impact is felt at the micro level and channels of its transmission need to be understood and accordingly responded to. 1.3 Sectoral analysis of growth rates has shown

the least inter-temporal variations. With the declining share of agriculture sector and consistent growth in the services sector, the variations in growth rate of GDP are lately being associated with the variations in the industry. The contributions of agriculture, industry and services to the GDP were 13.9, 27.0 and 59.1 per cent, respectively, during 2011-12 (Table 1.2). 1.4 An important feature of agricultural growth,

to 2010-11 was 1.6 compared to 1.1 during 1992-93 to 1999-2000. This is almost six times more than the CV observed in the overall GDP growth of the country, indicating that high and perhaps increasing volatility is a real concern. The volatility is likely to increase in the years to come in the wake of climate change, there by making it more challenging. Moreover, the Indian agriculture growth pattern has been highly varying across states, suggesting that uniform prescription may not work in propping agricultural growth as state level occurances measures up to the overall performance.

an overall growth of private final consumption expenditure that was in the range of 7.1 to 9.2 per cent during the period 2005-06 to 2010-11, the rates of growth of the consumption groups food, beverages, and tobacco and gross rent, fuel, and power have generally been lower. On the other hand, the growth rates of items and like furniture and and furnishing, transport communications,

miscellaneous goods and services have generally been higher. As a result, the composition of private final consumption expenditure in terms of shares underwent changes. 1.6 The Gross Domestic Savings (GDS), as a

b. Consumption, Savings and Investments1.5 The growth in real terms of consumption expenditure and gross fixed capital formation works out to 6.0 per cent and 5.6 per cent respectively for the year 2011-12. The growth in these indicators in 2010-11 was 8.1 per cent and 7.5 per cent respectively. The rate of growth of private final consumption expenditure in real terms has been fairly consistent and did not decline significantly even when the growth rate was relatively lower, partly due to the inherent nature of private consumption that does not fluctuate as much as other demand-side components and partly on account of inflationary tendencies, which tend to reduce savings (on account of reduction in real interest rates) rather than affecting the consumption level in the economy. However, this consistency masks large variations between the various commodity groups. As against 2

proportion to GDP at current market prices (savings rate) is estimated to have declined from 33.8 per cent during 2009-10 to 32.3 per cent during 2010-11. While the private sector savings has declined from 33.6 per cent to 30.6 per cent, public sector savings increased from 0.2 per cent to 1.7 per cent during 2009-10 and 2010-11, respectively. This decline is accounted for by a reduction in private savings, primarily household savings in financial assets, and somewhat by a reduction in corporate savings. Public savings, on the other hand, registered an increase, thanks to fiscal consolidation. The reduction in the financial savings rate of households could be partly attributable to inflationary tendencies in the economy during the period that resulted in higher growth of private final consumption expenditure than of personal disposable income and partly to a reduction in real interest rate. The Gross Capital Formation

(GCF), as a proportion to GDP, is estimated at 35.1 per cent with the contribution of public and private sectors at 8.8 and 24.9 per cent, respectively during 2010-11. Within the private sector, the investment rate for the corporate sector declined from 12.7 per cent in 2009-10 to 12.1 per cent in 2010-11 while that of the household sector increased from 12.4 per cent to 12.8 per cent. Reduction in corporate investment could be attributed to global factors, with the global economy exhibiting signs of slowing down in the second half of 2010 as well as to domestic factors, namely increased cost of borrowing following the upward revision of interest rates in order to control inflation. Fixed investment as a ratio of GDP peaked in 2007-08 and registered a decline since then, falling from 31.6 per cent in 2009-10 to 30.4 per cent in 2010-11. in September 2011 before coming down to 6.6 per cent in January 2012 (Chart 1.1).

inflation was different from the earlier instances of prolonged inflation, basically because of the kind of shifts it was pointing towards. Moreover, the persistent nature of food inflation posed challenges for policy makers as monetary policy cannot have a direct and immediate bearing on food prices. But in view of the prolonged inflationary spells in recent years, using the monetary policy weapon was thought to be the appropriate policy response in order to prevent and control the spillover of the supply shock in food prices into a generalised inflationary pressure in the economy. In order to keep inflation under check, relative prices across categories of

Removal of levy obligation in respect of all imported raw sugar and white/refined sugar. Ban on export of edible oils and pulses (with certain exceptions), non-basmati rice, wheat, onion (for short period of time),milk powders, casein and casein products.

B. Monetary Measures As part of the monetary policy review stance, the RBI has taken suitable steps with 13 consecutive increases in policy rates and related measures to moderate demand to levels consistent with the capacity of the economy to maintain its growth without provoking price rise. As per the most recent announcement of the RBI on 24 January 2011, the cash reserve ratio (CRR) has been cut by 50 basis points (bps) from 6.0 per cent to 5.5 per cent and repo rate and reverse repo rate have remained unchanged at 8.5 per cent and 7.5 per cent respectively.

c. Supersession of Elected Boards4.18 NABARD, as a matter of policy, continues to emphasize the need for co-operative banks to be managed by duly elected Boards of Management (one of the covenants of the memorandum of understanding (MoU), executed by State Governments under the GoI revival package for STCCS). Despite this, the practice of superseding elected Boards continued in some States. As on 31 March 2011, duly elected Boards were superseded in 9 SCBs and 86

DCCBs in ST structure. Supersession was done in 7 SCARDBs also and in 284 PCARDBs in the LT structure (Table 4.14). 4.19 Co-operative credit institutions suffer from low

resource base, high dependence on higher financing agencies, imbalances, poor business diversification and recoveries, huge accumulated losses, lack of professionalism and skilled staff, weak MIS, poor internal checks and control systems, etc. leading to heavy accumulated losses.

d. Development Action Plan (DAP)/ Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)4.20 Keeping in view the viability of the bank on sustainable basis, the process of preparing institution specific DAP and executing MoU began in 1994-95. It was implemented in four phases, 1994-95 to 1999-2000 (Phase I), 2000-01 to 2003-04 (Phase II), 2004-05 to 2006-07 (Phase III). The PACS were advised to prepare Viability Action Plans under the guidance of DCCBs and to enter into MoUs with the respective DCCBs in the third phase. The fourth phase of DAP/ MoU was for the period April 2007 to March 2012. As many as 21 SCBs and 10 SCARDBs and State Governments concerned had executed DAP/MoU with NABARD for fourth phase. The progress in implementation of DAPs is monitored and review is held during quarterly meetings of State Level Task Force (SLTF) at State level and District Level Monitoring and Review Committee (DLMRC) at district level. The banks have been advised by ROs to prepare DAP for 2012-13 based on the existing guidelines. The banks which seriously follow the targets under DAP have grown financially stronger. Further, implementing DAP in phases gives an opportunity to learn from past experience and refine their policies.

being conducted by NABARD since 1994-95 is a re-engineering process which facilitates and aims at achieving change in the organisational structures. Keeping in view the changing environment for RRBs (Amalgamation) and co-operative banks (adoption of revival package for STCCS), the design, methodology and objective of ODIs would now be more focused towards enabling financial inclusion and sustainable viability. As RRBs and co-operative banks face different kind of problems and opportunities, separate approaches were worked out for these institutions. During the year, emphasis was laid on conducting ODIs in RRBs which are not compliant with section 42(6) of RBI Act, 1934 and the SCB and DCCBs not complying with section 11 of BR Act 1949 (AACS). With a view to assess the impact of ODI, the ROs were advised to evaluate the process for fine-tuning the ODI process. During 2011-12, 03 ODI viz. ODI (phase I) in Vizianagaram DCCB (Andhra Pradesh), Hazaribagh DCCB (Jharkhand) and Phase I - follow up visit of Cuttack DCCB (Odisha) have been conducted . ODI has been able to inculcate a sense of responsibility among the employees in achieving the targets set by the management. Further, ODI is a motivation to employees and helps in increasing their productivity and profits of the organisation, given that the functioning of other internal and external factors remain the same.

e. Co-operative Development Fund4.21 The Co-operative Development Fund (CDF) was constituted in 1993 under Section 45 of NABARD Act 1981, with an initial contribution of `10 crore. The fund is replenished every year through contributions from NABARDs surplus. Assistance from the Fund is available to co-operatives in the form of soft loans/ grants for resource mobilisation, human resource development, DCCBs etc., capacity which in building turn and operational to their streamlining, setting up of
