EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Introduction Navsari Is Primarily An PLP 2016-17 - NAVSARI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Introduction Navsari is primarily an agricultural district with Paddy, Sugarcane and horticulture as the predominant crops. The other major crops cultivated are Jowar, Tur, Groundnut, etc. About 47% of land holdings are with small and marginal farmers and the average size of the holdings is 0.55 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 `148170.16 lakh, of which, Crop Production sector has a major share of 26.8% at ` 39607.85 lakh. Term loan under agriculture is assessed at ` 54080.72 lakh accounting for about 57.6% of Total Agriculture and 36.5% of Total Priority Sector. Under MSME, `22580.75 lakh has been assessed as potential forming 15.2% of Priority Sector and balance at ` 31900.84 lakh has been estimated for other sectors like Exports, Education, Housing, etc. The activity- wise and block-wise assessment of potential is presented in Annexure I. The PLP projection for 2016-17 is lower by `23342.79 lakh when compared to the PLP for the year 2015- 16 representing an decrease of 13.5%. The PLP projection has been reassessed taking into consideration of disbursement made during last three years, availability of Infrastructure for exploiting the potential and capacity of the line department to provide extension support. Further, the PLP projection is higher by `24461.72 lakh when compared to the ACP target for the year 2015-16. Suggested action Points in respect of major sectors and infrastructure/non-credit inputs are as under: B. Sector-wise comments on major sectors 1. Crop Production, Maintenance and Marketing a) The Navsari Agriculture University would have to play a more proactive role in channelization of the quality seeds to the farmers at reasonable rates. b) As overwhelming majority of farmers use farm saved seeds, there is need for training farmers in seed production, particularly hybrid seed, processing and storage techniques by NAU and KVK. c) Establish adequate number of soil testing labs to cover all the farmers and issue soil health cards. d) Modern methods of cultivation like Fertigation for sugarcane e) Precision farming for Vegetables, Sprinkler irrigation for pulses etc. need to be adopted for increasing production and productivity. f) Banks may adopt Rupay KCC as an effective credit delivery mechanism and educate the farmers to subscribe to crop insurance schemes. 2. Farm Mechanisation a) New and modern farm machinery sales depots are to be established. Agro service centres to be established throughout the district. b) Line departments may organize awareness meets on the latest developments in farm mechanization so that the farmers are sensitized about various equipments available. c) Shortage of labour is a serious threat affecting the development of agriculture in the district. Enhanced credit flow for farm mechanisation should be ensured. d) Banks may increasingly adopt the strategy of JLG financing to enable SF/MF to purchase farm machineries and equipment. 3. Plantation and Horticulture a) Bank may focus on financing for Setting up of Agri-Clinics & Agri-Business, soil and water testing laboratories, pest diagnostic and control service, custom hiring of agricultural implements, setting up of apiaries, vermi-compost units, tissue culture labs, etc. b) Banks may popularise as well as provide adequate credit for Horticulture and Floriculture projects in the district. c) Banks may, in consultation with the Horticulture Department, prepare area based schemes/ banking plans and implement project based lending for beneficiaries under Schematic Approach. 1 PLP 2016-17 - NAVSARI d) The Department of Horticulture may promote poly house for cultivation of vegetables and flowers in a big way in areas like Gandevi and Navsari. 4. Animal husbandry a) The bankers need to ensure purchase of animals by the borrowers during the calving season while ensuring the availability of fodder and green grass. b) Banks may also encourage farmers to take up calf rearing and fodder cultivation, as viable activities with financial assistance. c) Intensive cross breeding programme may be undertaken so that better quality animals would be available at the local level. d) The AH Deptt. may arrange awareness camps to educate the farmers on health and maintenance of cattle 5. MSME a) Banks should step up their lending to MSME sector including provision of adequate Working Capital assistance. b) Keeping in view the importance of this sector and potential existing, banks need to play a proactive role leading to provision of adequate bank credit to this sector in the district. c) Pro active action is required from banks for entrepreneurship development in rural areas and motivation of prospective entrepreneurs. d) Improved and efficient backward and forward linkages, including imparting of training to artisans for skill upgradation and improving quality of produce, is required to be ensured. e) Proactive action for entrepreneurship development in rural areas, motivation of prospective entrepreneurs and improvement/expansion of infrastructure support is essential. C. Highlights of Developments, initiatives taken, achievements, specific prescriptions etc. by NABARD Wadi Project – NABARD’s initiative on Natural Resources Management with focus on Tribal Development under the “Wadi Project”. In Navsari District, there are 5 projects covered 4500 tribals. Grants assistance for implementation of Pilot Project on Systematic Rice Intensification (SRI) programme to increase the production of rice. Financial Assistance provided to Navsari Agriculture University for conduct of various National Level Workshop for benefit of farmers. Conduct of various Financial Inclusion Awareness Programme in the district. Financial Support to State Governments for creation of infrastructure viz. Roads, Check Dams, Anganwadi, CHC/PHCs, Undergrould Drainage, etc. To give thrust to the identified sector/activity by enhancing term loan disbursements through a banking plan, implementation of area based scheme/s has been suggested as a coordinated effort of NABARD, Lead Bank, other banks, line departments and other important stake holders. GoI has established the National Adaptation Fund on Climate Change (NAFCC) with a budget provision of `350 crores for the year 2015-16 and 2016-17. NABARD has been appointed as National Implementing Entity (NIE) responsible for implementation of adaptation projects under the Fund. To ensure effective price protection to the farmer, National Agricultural Market being proposed can be a solution backed by adequate storage facilities. D. Thrust areas for 2016-17 such as JLG/SHG financing, post–harvest infrastructure, food processing, Producer Organizations, etc. E. Conclusion The major driver of private sector capital formation is investment credit. Immediate thrust is required to raise its share in the total agriculture credit. The document, has therefore, been prepared with emphasis on accelerating the pace of capital formation in agriculture and allied sectors. This goal can be achieved with the coordinated efforts of all the stakeholders. 2 PLP 2016-17 - NAVSARI Broad Sector-wise PLP projection 2016-17 (` Lakh) Sr.No. Particulars PLP Projection 2016-17 A Farm Credit I Crop Production, Maintenance and Marketing 39607.85 ii Term Loan for agriculture and allied activities 30036.49 Sub Total 69644.34 B Agriculture Infrastructure 11482.35 C Ancillary activities 12561.88 I Credit Potential for Agriculture (A+B+C) 93688.57 II Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises 22580.75 III Export Credit 3400.00 IV Education 1700.00 V Housing 22950.00 VI Renewable Energy 208.14 VII Others (SHGs/JLGs) 3212.50 VIII Social Infrastructure involving bank credit 430.20 Total Priority Sector (I to VIII) 148170.16 Broad Sector Wise Projection for 2016-17 Others 2% Ren.

  • Coastline of Gujarat 2012
    INTRODUCTION India has a coastline of about 7,500 km , with nearly 250 million people living within 50 km of the coast. The coastal area accounts for 130 cities and a very significant share of India's economic infrastructure. Maritime facilities, petroleum industries, and import-based industries are located in the coastal zone, in addition to a large number of poor villages that depend on fishing for livelihood. The coastal areas are also subject to recurrent natural disasters such as cyclones and floods, and the 2005 tsunami devastated large areas especially along the eastern coastal states. India's coastal zone is endowed with a wide range of mangroves, coral reefs, sea grasses, salt marshes, sand dunes, estuaries, lagoons, and unique marine and terrestrial flora and fauna. Due to increasing human population, urbanization and accelerated developmental activities, including industrial and maritime development, the coastal areas have been assuming greater importance in recent years. 1 India is home to numerous beaches as a result of its extensive coastline. Whether it is a secluded beach in Andamans or a party beach of Goa, beaches in India attract thousands of tourists every year. Kerala, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Andaman & Nicobar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Lakshwadeep, Maharashtra, Orissa and Tamil Nadu offer spectacular beaches. The most popular ones in India are Anjuna, Dona Paula, Baga and Calangute Beaches in Goa; Juhu Beach in Maharashtra; Marari and Kovalam Beaches in Kerala and Marina Beach in Chennai. Gujarat in particular has great potential for Somnath Digha developing beach tourism. At about 1600 km, Gujarat Porbandar Chandipur Konark Diu Daman Bubhaneswar Dahanu on the west coast has the longest coastline amongst Puri Manori Gopalpur Kihim the Indian states and is bestowed with several good Bheemunipatnam Alibagh Waltair Hamai Vishakhapatnam beaches.

  • A Case Study of Twin City Planning for Surat – Navsari Bhoomi Ganeshbhai Mehta1
    International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 08 Issue: 02 | Feb 2021 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 Impact of Transportation Connectivity: A Case Study of Twin City Planning for Surat – Navsari Bhoomi Ganeshbhai Mehta1 1Student, Master of Town and Country Planning, Sarvajanik College of Engineering and Technology, Surat ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - Good transport connections have direct benefits to people, businesses, the environment, and the overall economy. Good transport facilities between two cities can widen people’s job-search area and help them find employment. It can also reduce commuting times and reduce the cost of living. Public transport is especially important for lower income groups, where 42 per cent lack access to a car or van (compared to only 8 per cent of those in the highest income group). And high-skilled workers are more likely to travel across longer distances to work, especially if they are following good job opportunities. It thus becomes utmost important for cities like Surat and Navsari to have a good transportation connectivity so that both the cities have an equal opportunity to grow. Since Navsari has a good command over agricultural activities and most of the agricultural goods in Surat come from Navsari, and majority of people in Navsari are dependent on Surat for job opportunities, this becomes an important topic to study and bring both the cities near one another. Key Words: Twin city Planning, Transportation Connectivity, Surat – Navsari city Figure 1 Transportation and economic connection I. INTRODUCTION Public transit is more than a means of transportation: it serves as a key component in addressing poverty, unemployment, and equal opportunity goals.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The Dangs is situated in southeast parts of the Gujarat. The district bordered by districts Navsari and Valsad in the West, Tapi district in the North and Maharashtra state in the South and East covered with high hills and rich forest. Before Independence several wars were fought between the five tribal kings of Dang and the British. According to the history, the biggest ever war took place at Lashkaria Amba, in which kings of all five erstwhile states got together to protect Dang from British rule. The British were beaten and decided to discontinue war and resorted to compromise. As per historic compromise treaty signed in 1842 the British were allowed to use the forests and their natural products against which they had to pay certain amount around 3,000 silver coins to the five kings of the then monarchy. However presently, the kings are offered monthly political pension by the Government of India, which is the main source of their income. This payment is continued even though all privy purses for the Princely states of India was stopped in 1970 since the agreement was between then monarchs of Dangs and the British. Every year during the end of financial year, the Kings gather in Ahwa for a traditional royal ceremony in their richly decorated buggies, bands with tribal dancers to receive the payment as per the agreement of 1842. In ancient Indian Scriptures, Dang is known as Dand Aranyaka, meaning Bamboo Forest. The Dang consists of a series of foothills between the flat alluvial plains of south Gujarat and the high mountains of Sahyadris.
