  • PLP 2016 17 Surendranagar District 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Introduction Surendranagar District Is Primarily an Agricultural Distr
    PLP 2016 17 Surendranagar District EXECUTIVE SUMMARY a. Introduction Surendranagar district is primarily an agricultural district with cotton and cumin as the predominant crops. The other major crops cultivated are bajra, wheat, sesamam, groundnut, etc. About 37% of land holdings are with small and marginal farmers and the average size of the holdings is 1.22 Ha. The Potential Linked Credit Plan (PLP) for 2016-17 has been prepared aligning with the revised RBI guidelines on Priority Sector Lending. It estimates credit flow of ` 305987.00 lakh, of which, Crop Production sector has a major share of 75% at ` 230000.00 lakh. Term loan under agriculture is assessed at ` 57500.00 lakh (20% of Total Agriculture) which is 19% of Total Priority Sector. Under MSME, ` 11500.00 lakh has been assessed as potential forming 4% and balance at ` 6987.00 lakh has been estimated for other sectors like Exports, Education, Housing, etc.which formed 2% of total priority sector. The activity-wise and block-wise assessment of potential is presented in Annexure I. The PLP projection for 2016-17 is lesser by ` 11058.15 lakh when compared to the PLP for the year 2015-16 due to carving out of developed block (Halvad) to a new district (Morbi). Further, the PLP projection is higher by ` 25987.00 lakh when compared to the ACP target for the year 2015-16. b. Suggested action Points in respect of major sectors and infrastructure/non-credit inputs are as under: (i) Crop Production, Maintenance and Marketing Adoption of advanced technologies for the restoration of soil health, mechanisation, and cultivation of suitable remunerative crops, effective pest and disease management are essential to step up the agricultural production.
