7.1 DISTRICT CREDIT PLANNING
7.1.1 Lead Bank Scheme – Phase-1
A credit plan presupposes the existence of a development plan so that the former
can sub serve the objectives of the latter.140
The study group under the leadership of Prof. Gadgil in October‟1969
recommended “Area approach” to develop banking and credit facilities in the country
on the basis of the conditions prevailing in different areas. The Committee of Bankers on
Branch Expansion Programme of Public Sector Banks appointed by Reserve Bank of
India under the Chairmanship of Shri F.K.F. Nariman (Nariman Committee) supported
the idea of area of approach in its report in November 1969. The Committee
recommended that the public sector banks should be entrusted with „lead role‟ in certain
districts in order to encourage them to discharge their social responsibilities. RBI
accepted this recommendation and formulated the Lead Bank Scheme (LBS) in
December 1969141
.
The bank which is assigned the lead responsibility is called Lead Bank of the
district and such district for the lead bank is termed as Lead District. Contiguity of the
district, ability to handle the responsibility and resources are the criteria for allotting the
districts to banks.
The Lead Bank has to act as a team leader for coordinating the efforts of all credit
institutions in the district for expansion of banking facilities and for meeting the credit
needs of the rural people. All the districts in the country except the metropolitan cities of

Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Union Territories of Chandigarh, Delhi and Goa were
allotted among public sector banks and a few private sector banks. Later on, the Union
Territory of Goa, Daman and Diu and also the rural areas of the Union Territories of
Delhi and Chandigarh had been brought within the purview of Lead Bank Scheme.
The lead bank scheme has enabled the rapid branch expansion in unbanked and
under-banked areas. In about 5 years after nationalization of banks, the branch network
was expanded by 129 per cent.142
As at the end of March 2009, 26 banks (public and
private sector) have been assigned lead responsibility in 622 districts of the country.143
7.1.1a. First round of District Credit Plans
The first round of District Credit plans were completed by 1978. However, they
did not serve the purpose, as they were not aligned with the development schemes of the
districts. They did not fully cover the agriculture and allied activities which form the
mainstay of the rural economy. Later on, the district credit plans covered aspects like
period, credit estimates and allocation of shares among credit institutions etc.
7.1.1b. Formation of District Consultative Committee
In order to make the district plans effective, an organized set up is needed. The
Banking Commission (1972) stressed the need for formation of a co-ordination
committee at the district level in all the states. The Committee comprises of
representatives of the lending agencies as members and the senior most officer of the

Report of High Level Committee to review the Lead Bank Scheme, pp-2, www.rbi.org.in
State Government in charge of development of the district as the Chairman to assess the
credit needs of the various productive activities.144
In the light of this recommendation, formation of District Consultative
Committees (DCCs) was the major development in Lead bank scheme to facilitate the
coordination of activities of all the banks and financial institutions on the one hand and
government departments on the other hand.
7.1.2. Lead Bank Scheme – Phase-2
RBI had set up a High Power Committee on the working of Lead Bank Scheme in
1976. The study group recommended for implementation of the second phase of Lead
Bank Scheme – viz. formulation and implementation of area development programmes
covering the activities in priority sectors to fill the credit gaps in rural areas. The second
and the crucial phase in Lead Bank Scheme was formulation of District Credit Plans
(DCPs). The credit planning exercise under the scheme covers the priority sectors and
aimed at the overall development of the district through the coordinated efforts of banks
and the developmental agencies of the State Governments at the District Level.
District Credit Plans/Annual Action Plans (AAPs) are prepared block wise, bank
wise and sector/sub-sector wise for each block. The banks were familiarized in the
mechanism of credit planning by the time the third and fourth round (1988-90) of DCPs
and AAPs were prepared. The cooperative banks were also involved in the preparation
of DCPs. Targets were fixed to these banks also under priority sector/government
programmes.
144

Various Forums145
are created for planning and monitoring the performance of
the participating credit institutions and agencies etc. at block, district, state and national
levels. These forums also discuss and solve the operational difficulties in implementation
of the plans.
Block Level:
1. Block level bankers‟ committee (BLBC)
District level:
1. District Consultative Committee(DCC)
2. District Level Review Committee (DLRC)
3. Standing Committee (SC)
State level:
1. State Level Bankers‟ Committee (SLBC)
2. State Level Review Committee (SLRC)
National Level:
1. High Power Committee (HPC)
2. Regional Consultative Committee(RCC)
7.1.2a. Preparation of District Credit Plans
Planning is a pre-requisite for any developmental activity, particularly in the field
of agriculture and rural economy. The District Credit Plans are prepared with the chief
objective of increasing productivity, production and employment opportunities in various
sectors in rural areas and especially among weaker sections. 146
The district plans are
primarily aimed at balanced development of different districts/blocks within the district
by providing basic needs of the poorer sections. Hence, plans are prepared with labour
intensive schemes which generate employment, increase productivity of land and other
allied sectors. Besides, the schemes must be bankable147
when they are to be financed
145
www. slbcap.ac.in 146
REPORT OF NABARD, op. cit., www.nabard.org.in pp.183 147
A scheme becomes bankable only when its forward and backward linkages are ensured.
through bank loans. Optimum utilization of resources and co-ordination between
government development programmes and bank lending is needed to achieve these
objectives.
Reserve Bank of India introduced „Service Area Approach‟ in 1989 to accelerate
the pace of Rural Development. The Service Area Approach facilitates the banks to
operate within a specified area to provide agricultural finance. A Committee headed by
the Lead District Officer of the Reserve Bank of India with Lead Bank Officer of the
district and the concerned officer from NABARD as members allocate the service areas
to the bank branches148
.
This approach emphasizes involvement of village level functionaries from banks
and developmental agencies at block level in preparation of the plans. The branch
managers/ village development agencies feel proud to participate in the task of
preparation and implementation is also becomes easy, as the plans are being made by
them. The Branch Managers/Village Level Developmental Agencies have to conduct
surveys in the entire village falling in their service area taking into consideration the
infrastructure and market potential of the area.
These grass root level functionaries interact at Block Level Bankers‟ Committee
meetings and pave way for compilation of realistic Service Area/ Non-service branch
credit plan for each bank branch operating in a block. The annual action plan/district
credit plan should be prepared on the basis of updated village profile. The unit of
planning under service area approach is “village”. Therefore, the credit plan has to be
148
Report of the High Level Committee to review the Lead Bank Scheme, 2009, pp.14, www.rbi.org.in
drawn from the village and aggregated at grass-root level, i.e. first branch level, thereafter
at block level and finally at the district level.
District credit plans are simply aggregation of the block credit plans of the blocks
falling in a district. These plans are compiled, collated, reviewed and finalized in DCC
meetings and are given a final shape as District Annual Credit Plans. The District Credit
Plan represents the aggregation of block credit plans/credit plans of all credit agencies
operating in the district. The district credit plans are aggregated into state annual credit
plans and State Level Bankers Committee will do this job.
7.1.2b. Time Frame for preparation of annual credit plans149
There is a time frame for finalization of the district credit plans. The process starts
by 1st December and completed by 31st December of every year by the bank branches
falling in urban and rural areas. These plans are submitted to the controlling offices by
31st December every year. The controlling offices approve the plans by 31 January of the
next year so that the plans are placed in the respective block level bankers committees for
their approval by the end of February. The approved block credit plans are placed in the
District Consultative Committee meeting for discussion/approval so that the district plans
are launched by 1st April. Schedule of annual credit plans is as below:
1. Supply of back ground papers by the lead banks to branches : 15th
December
2. Preparation of branch credit plan : 31stDecember
3. Approval of Branch credit plan by controlling office : 31st January
4. Finalization of branch credit plan at SLBC : 28th
February

Annual Credit Plan 2005-06 of Srikakulam District
5. Aggregation of plan at block level : 5th
March
6. Aggregation at the district level : 31st March
7. Launching of District Credit Plan :1st April
Srikakulam District is considered as a backward district due to its low per capita
income of Rs.35959150
and it requires special attention and efforts for improvement of the
economic activities in the district. The district is primarily agro based economy and the
major thrust is on development of Agriculture, Allied Activities, and Agro based
industries in the district. As credit is an important input for accelerating the economic
development, generation of employment and incomes, banks have to play a key role in
delivering the credit in the following areas which contributes for higher productivity.
Loans for raising crops (crop loans) during Kharif and Rabi seasons
Loans for tenant farmers under Joint Liability Groups(JLGs) for productive
activities
Loans for self-help groups for taking up economic activities for generation of
income.
Financing for land development and minor irrigation schemes
Financing to allied activities for providing employment during the off season in
rural areas.
Financing for establishment of Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises.
National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) prepares the
Potential Linked Plans (PLPs) taking into consideration the potential for each activity and
fixes the scales of finance. Credit plans are prepared every year basing on the potential
for various activities in the district. Thus, the Potential Linked Plans are base for the
annual credit plans.
150
A.P.Economic Survey 2011-12, Directorate of Economics, www. aponline.org
The objective of studying the priority sector lending under district credit plans is to
know whether there is any difference between targets and achievements of commercial
banks and to know whether there is any difference between the performance of public
sector banks and private sector banks in achieving the targets. Also, to assess the impact
of priority sector advances on the development of the district. For this purpose, the
following hypotheses are framed.
H1: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Crop Loans sector.
H2: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Agri-Term Loans Sector.
H3: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Allied Activities sector.
H4: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Non-Farm sector.
H5: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Other Priority sector.
H6 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to Crop Loans.
H7 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks and
Private Sector Banks in lending to Agriculture Term Loans.
H8 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to the Allied Activities sector
H9 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to the Non-Farm sector.
H10 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to the Other Priority Sector.
H11: Are targets for banks fixed by considering the previous year‟ performance
H12 Priority Sector Advances have significant impact on the development of district.
7.2 BROAD CATEGORIES OF PRIORITY SECTOR LENDING UNDER
DISTRICT CREDIT PLANNING
The District Credit Plans cover only priority sectors and are grouped into five
categories. Plans are prepared sector wise and targets for lending are fixed mandal –
wise, sector -wise, and bank-wise. The sector-wise classification is made under the
following heads:
Crop Loans
Agriculture Term Loans:
a. Investment Credit
b. Minor Irrigation
c. Land Development
d. Farm Mechanization
e. Plantation and Horticulture
f. Other Agriculture Loans
Allied Activities
a) Dairy Development
b) Poultry
c) Fisheries
d) Storage and Market yards
e) Other allied activities
Non-Farm Sector/Small Scale Industries
Other Priority Sector
7.2.1 Crop Loans
Under this category, banks give loans for buying agricultural inputs like seeds,
fertilizers etc. They also provide loans for buying additional land, making improvements
on the existing land, to clear the old debts and to purchase agricultural machinery.
7.2.2 Agricultural Term Loans
The Agricultural Term Loans comprise of the following sub-sectors.
7.2.2(i). Investment Credit
Banks grant investment credit in the shape of term loans to agriculturists for
purchase of farm equipment. E.g., tractors, power-tillers, pump sets, power threshers,
winnowers, sprayers, live-stock, land improvement, sinking of wells etc.
7.2.2(ii). Minor Irrigation
Banks grant loans for Minor Irrigation Projects, Lift irrigation, Drip irrigation and
Sprinkler irrigation etc.
7.2.2(iii). Land Development and Watershed Management
Under this category, banks grant loans for On-Farm Development works, Tank
Silt Application, Production of Organic Manures, Comprehensive Land Development
Programme and centrally sponsored Rain Water Harvesting Scheme for SC/ST farmers
etc.
7.2.2(iv). Farm Mechanization
Loans are granted for purchase of Power tillers, Wooden Ploughs, Diesel
Engines, Electric pump sets, Power Sprayers etc.
7.2.2(v). Plantation and Horticulture

guides this activity.
7.2.2(vi). Forestry and Waste Land Management
Loans are granted for setting up of commercial nurseries for raising seedlings,
fodder, forest wood, timber and growing of other fruit species.
7.2.3 Allied Activities (Animal Husbandry)
Allied activities support the agriculture and create employment for the rural
people. These activities have huge potential in the district. The important economic
activities are dairy development, poultry farming, fisheries, piggery, bio-gas etc.
7.2.3(i). Dairy Development
It is an allied activity which supports the agriculture. Loans will be granted for
purchase of cattle etc.
7.2.3(ii). Poultry Farming, Sheep, Goat and Piggery development
It is another allied activity which is suitable for rural areas.
7.2.3(iii). Fisheries
Banks grants loans for purchase of boats, nets, ice boxes, transport vehicles etc.
Banks also provide working capital loans to fish vendors.
7.2.3(iv). Storage Godowns and market yards
Loans will be granted for construction of market yards for cash crops such as
cotton, chilies, sericulture cocoons etc. Banks also provide loans for construction of cold
storage facilities for horticultural crops, vegetables, etc. and milk chilling units.
7.2.3(v). Bio-Gas
Bio-gas is a cost effective alternate source of energy which is being encouraged
by both Government of India and Government of Andhra Pradesh for implementation in
rural areas. Loans will be sanctioned for setting up of bio-gas plants.
7.2.3(vi). Bullocks and Bullock Carts
Banks sanction loans for purchase of bullocks by small and marginal farmers who
possess small land holdings.
7.2.4 Non-Farm Sector
Loans will be sanctioned for setting up of village, cottage and decentralized
household / tiny and small scale industries.
7.2.5 Other Priority Sector
Loans will be granted for Transport Operators, Retail Trade/Small Business,
Professional and Self-employed, Education Loans, Housing Loans, Consumption Loans
and other miscellaneous activities.
7.3 SERVICE AREA VILLAGES - SRIKAKULAM DISTRICT
Srikakulam District is one of the districts covered under the lead bank scheme and
Andhra Bank has been designated as the Lead Bank for this district. Lead Bank
formulates the District Credit Plans (DCPs)/Annual Credit Plans (ACPs) for the entire
district. Reserve Bank of India has introduced the „Service Area Approach‟ in order to
facilitate the commercial banks to operate within the service area and to concentrate on
the credit needs of the people residing in that area. Service Area Approach is also
intended to promote the standard of living of the people. In Srikakulam District, the
following banks are assigned the task of preparing the service area credit plans to all the
revenue villages in the district. They are:
Andhra Bank
State Bank of India
United Bank of India
Allahabad Bank
Canara Bank
Syndicate Bank
Indian Bank
Vysya Bank
The branch managers will prepare the service area credit plans with the help of
potential linked plans prepared by NABARD. These credit plans are aggregated into
block level credit plans which in turn are aggregated into district credit plans.
7.4 ANALYSIS OF TARGETS OF COMMERCIAL BANKS’ UNDER DISTRICT
CREDIT PLANS
7.4.1 Block-Wise Targets
Table 7.1 exhibits the block-wise targets of credit from 2004-05 to 2010-11 for 16
blocks. As shown in the table, the block- wise targets had increased for all the blocks in
2005-06 credit plan over the previous year except for Kotabommali Block. The
percentage growth ranges between 7 per cent and 85 per cent during this year.
In 2006-07 credit plans, the targets had increased for all the Blocks over the year
2005-06. The percentage growth varied between 6 per cent and 79 per cent during the
year. In 2007-08, credit targets increased to all the Blocks except for Ichapuram, Kottur
and Veeraghattam and percentage of growth varied between 1 per cent and 49 per cent.
In the year 2008-09 also, the same trend has been noticed with an exception of
decline in targets for two Blocks i.e. Kotabommali and Ranastalam. In 2009-10, also
targets increased to all blocks except for Veeraghattam. The percentage increase varied
between 4 per cent and 234 per cent during the reference period. In 2010-11 credit plan,
allocation of credit has been reduced to eight blocks over the previous year i.e., 50
percent of the blocks have witnessed a steep reduction in credit allocation. The allocation
for the remaining eight blocks has increased from 4 per cent to 60 percent.
It may be observed that the targets for all mandals are not uniform. Abnormal
increase or decrease in allocation of credit has been observed for some mandals in some
years. The reasons for this may be attributed to the potential for activities under priority
sector category.

Table 7.2
In order to make a comprehensive study on district credit plans in Srikakulam
District, a detailed analysis of targets of commercial banks for disbursing credit to
priority sectors from 2000-01 to 2010-11 is made. The total outlay (includes the targets
for Regional Rural Banks and Cooperative Banks) of Annual Credit Plans was considered
to know the share of commercial banks‟ targets in the total district annual credit plans.
Sector-wise Share of Targets of Commercial Banks in District Credit Plans
Figure: 7.1
As shown in table 7.2 and figure 7.1, the targets for crop loans varied between
Rs. 3553.12 lakhs to Rs.50879 lakhs from 2000-01 to 2010-11. This sector has received
a major share in all the annual credit plans. The share varied between 21 per cent and 36
per cent during the period under reference. Targets for crop loans included targets for
agri-term loans and allied activities in 2010-11 credit plan.
Agriculture term loans sector‟s targets varied between Rs. 952.95 lakhs in 2000-
01 to Rs. 13411 lakhs in 2009-10. Share of this sector in total plan varied between 4 per
cent and 10 per cent. Its share was minimum (4 per cent) in 2003-04 and maximum in
2009-10 i.e. 10 per cent.
Targets for allied activities varied between Rs.651 lakhs in 2002-03 and Rs.5233
lakhs in 2009-10. Its share ranges between 3 and 5 per cent during the study period.
Targets for non-farm sector had increased from Rs. 1010 lakhs in 2000-01 to
Rs.17775 lakhs in 2010-11 and its share fluctuated between 3 and 13 per cent during the
above period.

considerable share during the entire study period and its share varied between 11 per cent
and 18 per cent.
In addition, following are the highlights of credit plans in various years:
In 2004-05, Central Government has sanctioned a special project for development
of Coir in Srikakulam district with a project cost of 676.95 crores151
.
Priority for the year 2005-06 was given for Minor Irrigation due to low and
uncertain rainfall in the district. Measures were initiated to adopt drip irrigation and
sprinkler irrigation systems for water conservation and as well as for increased
productivity. Government of Andhra Pradesh launched Andhra Pradesh Micro Irrigation
Plan (APMIP) during this year. 20 Nos. of projects were sanctioned for Andhra Pradesh
from Tribal Development Fund with a total outlay of 6438.57 crores. Out of 20 projects,
3 Nos. of Tribal Development Fund projects were allotted to this district. State Bank of
India has taken up area development schemes for the development of Salt industry at
Naupada, Fiber boat manufacturing at Kaviti and Tribal development scheme at
Pathapatnam with the active co-operation of Non-Governmental Organizations and
District Rural Development Agency under this head.152
Schemes like APMIP, Special
SGSY project for Coir and Fisheries have balanced the loan portfolios of the banks.
Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme for Technology up-gradation of small scale
industries has been introduced to give boost to the small scale industries in upgrading
their technologies and to improve their competitiveness.
151
Annual Credit Plan 2004-05 152
Annual Credit Plan 2005-06
The credit plan for 2007-08 has made a separate allocation for small and medium
enterprises as per the guidelines of State Level Bankers Committee. Rs.10635 lakhs
were fixed as target for small scale industries and Rs.7500 lakhs for medium enterprises.
With this, the total credit for small and medium enterprises goes to Rs. 18135 lakhs.153
Target for Non-Farm Sector has increased two fold i.e. from Rs.7486 lakhs in 2008-09 to
Rs.15212 lakhs in 2009-10, resulting in 100 per cent increase. 154
Plan for the year 2009-
10 has given priority for financial inclusion and medium enterprises which are considered
as important tools for development of the district. The Credit Plan for SMEs has stood at
Rs.20735 lakhs, out of which Micro enterprises share was Rs.2600 lakhs, Small
enterprises share was Rs.10635 lakhs and Medium enterprises share was Rs.7500 lakhs.
Plan for the year 2010-11 has made a separate allocation of Rs.3000 lakhs for Micro
enterprises, Rs.10635 lakhs for Small enterprises and Rs.7500 lakhs for Medium
enterprises.
Observations:
Agriculture being the major activity in the district, credit allocation for crop loans
was maximum i.e., 21 per cent to 36 per cent in all the credit plans during the study
period. Next to crop loans, priority has been given to Other Priority Sector in the
allocation of credit (share ranges between 11 to 18 per cent). The other sectors have
also been given due importance by increasing targets every year according to the
potential for the activities. From 2007-08 credit plan onwards, separate allocation for
small and medium enterprises was made as per the guidelines of State Level Bankers
Committee. Total share of commercial banks under district credit plans ranges between
48 per cent and 62 per cent. Hence, it is inferred that more than 50 per cent of the
responsibility in district development lies with the commercial banks.

Achievements
Figure: 7.5
The achievement percentage varied between 37 percent and 248 per cent
(Fig.7.5). Commercial Banks have shown an inconsistent performance in achieving the
targets in Agricultural Term Loans Sector as the variation in achievement of the targets
was very high. Banks have exceeded their targets by 248 per cent in the year 2004-05
(Rs. 4410 lakhs as against a target of Rs.1776 lakhs). This may be attributed to the
demand for use of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems. The priority for the financial
year 2005-06 was on Minor irrigation due to uncertain and low rainfall in the district and
adoption of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems for water conservation as well as for
increased productivity.155
Only 37% of the target was achieved in 2007-08 (Rs. 1591
lakhs against the target credit of Rs.4330 lakhs) which was the least percentage during
the study period under consideration.

7.5.1d. Non-Farm Sector/SSI Sector
Srikakulam district has endowed with rich natural resources and it has great
potential for setting up of small scale industries. In this context, President of Federation
of Andhra Pradesh Industries (FAPI) requested the authorities to identify adequate land
for industrial estate in the district. He also pointed out that nationalized banks are not
coming forward to finance industrial units on the pretext of piling up arrears from some
units and some units are falling sick. He advised setting up of monitoring committees at
the state and district levels. These banks will verify all aspects of the loans sanctioned to
industries and find out whether banks had been financing industrial units as per the
guidelines of the RBI. The President urged the Chief Minister to go on „Parishramika
Baata‟ on the lines of pallebata and nagarabata for development of industries in the
state.156
Fig. 7.8 shows the targets and achievements of commercial banks in Non-Farm
sector/ Small Scale Industries sector. The targets increased from 1009.9 lakhs to Rs.

Observations:
A comparison of sector-wise compound growth rate shows that the CGR% was
highest in agriculture term loans sector and crop loans occupy next position by 26.52%.
Least CGR% has been registered for other priority sector due to non-achievement of
targets in 2010-11 credit plan. However, there is huge potential for this activity in the
district and this has led to achievement of targets by banks in nine credit plans. In
addition, the credit allocation for this sector also occupies second place due to its high
potential in the district. CGR per cent of non-farm sector stood at 20.83 per cent
implying the promotion of small scale industries in the district. Though the CGR% of
allied activities was less compared to other sectors, this activity is gaining momentum
due to its importance in generation of employment and income during off-seasons.
Banks had achieved their targets in nine credit plans in other priority sector.
Allied activities and non-farm sector occupied next position by seven credit plans.
However, they could achieve their targets in crop loans in only four credit plans despite
of crop loans being the major thrust area and main occupation in the district. They failed
to purvey the credit as per the targets to this sector in seven credit plans. Hence, it is
not out of place to mention here that District Level Credit Committee fixes the targets
considering the potential linked plans prepared by NABARD.
As regards the average loan disbursed to different sectors, crop loans occupied
first position with Rs. 14480 lakhs during the study period. Other Priority Sector
occupied next position by Rs.8274 lakhs implying its huge potential. Average loans
disbursed for non-farm sector stood at Rs. 5116 lakhs which signifies its importance in
the district. Average loan for Allied activities was Rs. 2635 lakhs which was the least
compared to other sectors. However, banks had achieved their targets in seven credit
plans in this sector.

Table: 7.7
The co-efficient of range is less for targets given to commercial banks in Crop
Loans Sector i.e. 0.20 during the study period compared to the co-efficient of range
values for other sectors. Hence, it can be inferred that there is consistency in fixing the
targets for crop loans sector during the study period.
Similarly, commercial banks exhibited consistency in achieving the given targets
also in Crop Loans Sector as the value of co-efficient of range is less i.e., 0.33 compared
to the achievements in other sectors. Hence, consistency is observed in both targets and
achievements in crop loans sector.
In order to know whether there is any significant difference between sector-wise
targets and achievement percentages, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is used. The following
null hypotheses were framed for this purpose.
H1: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Crop Loans sector.
H2: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Agri-Term Loans Sector.
H3: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Allied Activities sector.
H4: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Non-Farm sector.
H5: There is no significant difference between target and achievement percentages in the
Other Priority sector.
Wilcoxon signed rank test is used to test the hypotheses.
Wilcoxon signed rank test:158
It is a non-parametric test for correlated samples. The Wilcoxon signed-ranks
test assesses the significance of the imbalance. This test assumes that we can rank

differences between paired observations. This test is a useful alternative to the t-test. The
data for the test will consist of a number of pairs of scores; each derived from a single
subject, or from a pair of matched subjects. Under the null hypothesis, that there is no
difference in the distributions of the populations from which the samples are drawn. The
„z „values are calculated using the formula.
If the observed value of z is less than the critical value, accept the hypothesis.

In order to test the hypotheses, „Z‟ values are calculated for all the sectors and are
shown in Table 7.8. As per the results, it is inferred that the calculated value of „Z‟ for
Crop Loans, Agri-Term Loans, Allied Activities, Non-Farm Sector and Other Priority
sector is less than the table value at 0.05 per cent level of significance. Hence, the
hypotheses are accepted in all the cases. The results indicate that there is no significant
difference between the targets and achievement percentages in all the sectors.

(Source: Table 7.3)
Table: 7.9
As per the table No.7.9, the target credit for Crop Loans Sector was more than
the previous year‟s achievements during the entire reference period. In Agri-Term
Loans sector, target credit was less than previous year‟s achievement in 2004-05 and
2005-06 Annual credit Plans. In Allied Activities sector, the targets were fallen short of
previous year‟s achievements in three credit plans i.e., in 2004-05, 2008-09 and 2009-10.
In SSI sector also, the same tendency has been noticed in three annual credit plans i.e. in
2001-02, 2005-06 and 2010-11. In Other Priority Sector, the targets were less than
previous year‟s achievements in four credit plans.
While considering the total targets, the targets were more than the previous year‟s
performance of the banks except in 2001-02. Total targets were less than the previous
year‟s achievements by 8 per cent in 2001-02 credit plan period.
The data reveals that the growth rate of targets in all the sectors was not uniform.
Targets were increased or decreased without considering the previous year‟s
achievements of banks in all the sectors, as targets were less than the previous year‟s
achievements in some years and abnormally increased in some years. Hence, it is
inferred that the credit plans in the district are not prepared basing on the previous year‟s
performance of the banks and the base for credit plans are potential linked plans prepared
by NABARD.
H20: Are targets for banks fixed by considering the previous year‟s performance.
It is proved that the targets are not fixed by considering the previous year‟s performance.

TABLE: 7.10
The share of public sector and private sector banks in priority sector lending
under Credit plans from 2000-01 to 2010-11 is analyzed in table 7.10 and Fig.7.11.
The share of Public Sector Banks in total priority sector lending varied between
40.71 per cent and 60.35 per cent. State Bank of India and Andhra Bank disbursed major
portion of the loans due to their wide net work of branches in the district. The other
nationalized banks have urban orientation and very few banks are operating in rural areas.
However, the share has declined to 47.49 per cent in 2010-11.
Banks group-wise Share of Priority Sector Advances under District Credit Plans
Figure: 7.12
It is observed that the Private Sector Banks‟ share of lending towards priority
sector was very little due to their limited presence in the District. As per the data, only
one private bank i.e., Vysya Bank was operating in the district till 2006. Slowly other
private sector banks like City Union Bank Ltd., Karur Vysya Bank, HDFC, ICICI, Axis
Bank etc. have entered into the market in the district. Hence, their share varied between
0.25 per cent and 9.81 per cent during the reference period. Below 1 per cent share has
been observed in 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2009-10 annual credit plans. Private sector
banks‟ share has been decelerated despite of the increase in their number in 2009-10. It
is notable that only one bank was able to achieve a share of 9.79 per cent share in 2000-
01 credit plan period, whereas six banks were able to achieve a share of only 0.97 per
cent in 2009-10. However, their share has increased to 3.1 per cent by March end 2011.
The reason for this may be attributed to their presence in urban areas. While observing

the share of Commercial Banks‟ advances towards priority sector as a whole, it varied
between 48.53 per cent and 61.54 per cent during the period of study.
In 2006-07 credit plan, Karur Vysya Bank has advanced loans of Rs. 289 lakhs
without any targets under annual credit plan. In 2007-08 credit plan, targets were not
assigned to Corporation Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, Axis bank and
ICICI bank. However, Corporation Bank, Axis bank and Punjab National Bank have
given crop loans and other priority sector loans. Axis bank has lent Rs. 5929 lakhs to
Other Priority Sector without any targets during this credit plan. In 2008-09 credit plan,
targets were not given to Bank of Baroda ICICI bank and HDFC bank. However, they
have disbursed loans under annual credit plan. In 2009-10, also targets were not given to
Oriental Bank of Commerce and UCO bank. However, they have lent to crop loans
sector and other priority sectors. The reasons for not assigning the targets might be due to
their entry after finalizing the district credit plan. It is also observed that the recently
entered public sector banks and private sector banks have their branches in urban areas
and hence the targets were so little under various heads.

Table 7.12
Bank group-wise targets and achievements have been shown in table 7.11 and
7.12 for different bank groups.
The table 7.11 reveals that the target credit for public sector banks had registered
an increase from Rs.7666.78 lakhs to Rs.81971 lakhs during the period 2001-01 to 2010-
11. Their achievements had increased from Rs.7893.77 lakhs to Rs. 81474 lakhs during
the same period. It has been observed that there was a continuous increase in
achievements from 2001-01 to 2009-10. However, a sudden deceleration took place in
the year 2010-11 as only Rs.50514 lakhs were disbursed as credit during this year. The
percentage of achievement exceeded 100 per cent in seven credit plans (table 7.12) and
surpassed 90 per cent in three credit plans. Yet, only 62% achievement took place in
2010-11 annual credit plans. 20.39 per cent compound growth rate has been registered in
the achievements of Public Sector Banks. The Average Loan disbursed by public sector
banks during the study period under annual credit plans was Rs.32053 lakhs
The targets of Private Sector banks during the study period varied between
Rs.113.4 lakhs and Rs.4520 lakhs from 2000-01 to 2010-11. The achievements varied
between Rs.79.9 lakhs and Rs.7451 lakhs during the same period. Yet the trend shows
fluctuations in both targets and achievements. They exceeded their targets in some
credit plans by 1674 per cent in 2000-01 and 421 per cent in 2002-03 and 484 per cent
2007-08. This can be inferred as their outstanding role in fulfilling the targets of the
credit plans. However, least performance of 11 per cent has been recorded in 2003-04
credit plan. As a whole during the study period, their achievements exceeded 100% in
eight credit plans under consideration except 2003-04, 2009-10 and 2010-11 Credit
Plans. Hence, it is inferred that Private Sector banks have played a significant role in
making the credit plans a success. Private Sector banks registered a compound growth
rate of 5.68 per cent in their achievements during the reference period. The Average Loan
disbursed by private sector banks during the study period under annual credit plans was
Rs.1904 lakhs.
The overall performance of Commercial Banks in the district (table No. 7.11)
shows that the targets had increased from Rs. 7780.18 lakhs to Rs.86491 lakhs from years
2000-01 to 2010-11. The achievements during the same period had increased from Rs.
9792.55 lakhs to Rs. 82782 lakhs. Commercial Banks as a whole, achieved a compound
growth rate of 18.57 per cent during the study period under district credit plans. The trend
shows a continuous increase in achievements from 2001-01 to 2009-10 as in the case of
Public Sector Banks. Nevertheless, a sudden decline in achievement has been observed
in 2010-11 as Rs.53814 crores were disbursed accounts for only 62 per cent of priority
sector advances. It has been noticed that the Commercial Banks‟ performance was well
above the targets during the study period except in 2003-04, 2008-09 and 2010-11 credit
plans.
A comparison of compound growth rates and average loans disbursed by public
and private sector banks is exhibited in the table No.7.13

Table: 7.13
As shown in the table 7.13, the compound growth rate of public sector banks was
far above than the private sector banks. This implies the better performance of public
sector banks in advancing credit to priority sectors under district credit planning. The
average loan also signifies the similar trend. However, it is observed that private sector
banks superseded the public sector banks in achieving the targets in eight credit plans.
7.7.3 Bank group-wise performance in various sectors
The performance of Public and Private Sector banks in lending to different sectors
under District Credit Plans from 2000-01 to 2010-11 are shown in Table No.7.14 and
7.15.
7.7.3(i). Crop loans sector
In Crop Loans sector, Public sector banks‟ disbursements had increased from
Rs.3411.78 lakhs to Rs.33923 lakhs (Table 7.12) from 2000-01 to 2010-11. Public sector
banks had achieved more than 100 per cent of the targets in three Credit Plans (table
7.13). Their performance varied between 70 to 99 per cent in eight Credit Plans.
Private sector banks‟ disbursements had increased from Rs.3 lakhs to 2000 lakhs
during the same period. The Private Sector banks‟ performance was more than the
targeted credit in six credit plans and they have achieved only 1 percent of their targets in
2001-02 which is negligible and 12 per cent in 2003-04.
However, the percentage of achievement varied between 70 to 95 per cent in the
three credit plans. These banks have achieved 2768 per cent (disbursed Rs.1024 lakhs
against a target of Rs.37 lakhs in 2002-03) which was the highest achievement during the
study period. This achievement was possible by a single bank i.e. Vysya Bank.
7.7.3(ii). Agriculture Term Loans Sector
In Agri-Term Loans sector, public sector banks‟ disbursements had increased
from Rs. 723 lakhs to 16399 lakhs during the study period. These Banks had achieved
more than 100 per cent of their targets in five credit plans. Their achievements varied
from 37 per cent to 93 per cent in four credit plans. Least performance score of 37 per
cent has been recorded in 2007-08.
Private sector banks‟ advances to Agriculture Term Loans sector had increased
from Rs. 2 lakhs to Rs.308.92 lakhs during the period of study. Private Sector Banks had
surpassed their targets in three credit plans i.e., 6178 per cent in 2001, 620 per cent in
2001-02 and 178 per cent in 2009-10. This can be inferred as their splendid performance
in these years. However, except in 2004-05, their performance was quite insignificant as
it varied between 9 per cent and 30 per cent.
7.7.3(iii). Allied Activities sector
Public Sector Banks‟ advances to Allied activities had increased from Rs. 709
lakhs to Rs.9882 lakhs during the period of study. These banks had exceeded their
targets in seven credit plans (Table 7.13). However, they could not achieve the target
in 2009-10. It can be inferred that public sector banks had utilized the potential in this
area.
Private sector banks‟ performance had increased from Rs. 2 lakhs to Rs.80 lakhs.
They were able to achieve more than 100 per cent of the targeted credit in only two credit
plans. Further, the performance score is only 30 and 40 percent in two credit plans. Yet,
Private Sector Banks have shown „zero‟ performance in 2002-03; 2005-06 and 2008-09
as these banks have not disbursed any loans to these activities despite of the targets given
to them.
7.7.3(iv). Non-Farm Sector
In Non-Farm Sector, Public Sector Banks utilized the business opportunity by
giving loans above the target level in seven credit plans. Their advances had increased
from Rs. 957 lakhs to Rs. 19495 lakhs during the study period. Their achievements
varied between 44 per cent 213 per cent during the same period. They have surpassed
their targets by 213 per cent in 2004-05 credit plan period. However, they were far
below the targets in only two credit plans.
Private sector banks‟ advances had increased from Rs. 26 lakhs to Rs.500 lakhs
during the reference period. These banks have lent above the target level in three credit
plans. These banks have surpassed the targets by 172% in 2000-01, 610% in 2004-05
and 182% in 2005-06 credit plans. 91 per cent and 88 per cent achievement was recorded
in 2001-02 and 2010-11 credit plans. However, in the other years, their performance was
quite low and varied between 23 per cent and 60 per cent.
These banks had not given any loans to small scale industries in 2003-04 though
targets were set to these banks.

7.7.3(v). Other Priority Sector
In Other Priority Sector, the Public Sector Banks‟ disbursements had increased
from Rs. 2609.99 lakhs to Rs.17024 lakhs during the period under study. Their
achievements varied between 56 per cent and 139 per cent. These banks have shown a
fair performance in eight credit plans by lending the funds above target level. However,
their performance varied between 56 per cent and 75 per cent in three credit plans.
Private Sector Banks also have shown considerable interest in lending to this
sector. They have played a significant role in eight credit plans by lending the funds well
above the targets on par with the public sector banks. In 2000-01, The Vysya Bank
Limited, being the only Private sector bank in the district had achieved 3497 per cent in
2000-01 by disbursing Rs.1482.6 lakhs as against a target of Rs.42.4 lakhs. In the
remaining seven credit plans also, their lending was most significant as it varied between
106 per cent and 930 per cent. Nonetheless, their performance was far below the targets
in three credit plans. As a whole, they have performed on par with the public sector
banks and utilized the business opportunity by lending actively towards this sector.
The compound growth rate suggests that private sector banks have shown a
spectacular performance in crop loans. However, they failed to exhibit the same
performance in other sectors. Public sector banks have shown a balanced performance in
meeting the targets in all the sectors.
The performance of both public sector banks and private sector banks as whole
surpassed their targets in seven credit plans and they could not meet the targets in only
four credit plans. The performance score of Private Sector Banks indicates that they
have exceeded their targets in eight credit plans. However, they were not able to reach
the targets in only three credit plans and particularly in the year 2003-04 as the
achievement accounts for only 11 per cent during this year.
From the above analysis, it can be inferred that both Public Sector Banks and
Private Sector Banks performed well during the reference period though
underperformance was observed in some years.
Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is applied to analyze whether there is any significant
difference in the performance of Public Sector Banks and Private Sector banks in lending
to various sectors.
For this purpose, the following hypotheses were framed.
H6 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to Crop Loans.
H7 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to Agriculture Term Loans.
H8 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to the Allied Activities sector
H9 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to the Non-Farm sector.
H10 There is no significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks
and Private Sector Banks in lending to the Other Priority Sector.

In order to test the hypotheses, „Z‟ values are calculated sector-wise and shown in
Table 7.17.
From the above table, it is inferred that the calculated values of „Z‟ for all the
sectors are less than the Table values at 5 per cent level of significance.
Hence, the hypotheses H6 to H10 are accepted. This signifies that there is no
significant difference between the performance of Public Sector Banks and Private Sector
Banks in lending to Crop Loans, Agri-Term loans, Allied Activities, Non-farm Sector
and Other Priority Sectors. The Public Sector Banks and Private Sector Banks have
distributed the loans similarly to all the sectors under district credit plans.

Table 7.18
In Crop Loans sector, the allocations had increased for all years over the previous
years‟ achievements for Public Sector Banks. However, the same was not observed in
case of Private Sector Banks, as the allocation was less than the achievements in five
Credit Plans. Further, the targets exceeded 1000 per cent in two credit plans and less than
100 per cent in two credit plans and between 100 and 150 per cent in two credit plans for
these banks. Abnormal increase was found in targets (5932% variation in 2000-01 and
1133% variation in 2002-03) in some years.
In Agriculture Term Loans sector, allocation was more than the previous years‟
achievements in seven credit plans for public sector banks. However, they were less in
three credit plans. In Private sector banks, allocation was more than 100 per cent of
achievements in all the credit plans except in three credit plans. In two credit plans,
targets were below the previous year‟s achievements for these banks.
In Allied Activities, targets of public sector banks were less than the previous
year‟s achievements in three credit plans and in four credit plans, targets exceeded the
achievements of previous years. Private sector banks disbursed Rs.80 lakhs in 2002-03
without any target under this head. However, in 2005-06, despite of a little target, these
banks have not advanced any loans under this head. The same trend has been observed in
2008-09 also, where no loans were lent against a target of Rs.132 lakhs.
In Non-Farm Sector, targets had increased in six credit plans and decreased in five
credit plans over the previous years‟ achievements for public sector banks. The same
trend has been noticed for private sector banks also. Private sector banks contribution
was zero in 2003-04 despite of the target of Rs.284 lakhs under Non-Farm sector‟s head.
In other Priority sector, targets for public sector banks had increased in all the
years except in three credit plans and for private sector banks it is only 50 per cent over
the previous years‟ achievement.
The above analysis indicates that the annual credit plans are prepared basing on
the potential linked plans prepared by NABARD.
7.9 IMPACT OF PRIORITY SECTOR LENDING ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE DISTRICT
Economic development generally refers to the sustained, concerted actions of
policymakers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health
of a specific area.159
The concerted actions include development of human capital,
environmental sustainability, social inclusion, health, safety, critical infrastructure,
literacy etc. Economic development differs from economic growth. Economic
development is a policy intervention which aims at economic and social well being of the
society.
As discussed by Kanagasabai, “Economic development is a process of sustained
increase in per capita output accompanied by substantial structural changes in the
159
Wikipedia.org.
economy, especially in the form of occupational distribution and also a greater balance in
the income distribution and removal of poverty.160
Economic growth refers to increase in market productivity and rise in Gross
domestic product. Famous economist Amartya Sen points out: “economic growth is one
aspect of the process of economic development.” 161
Primary sector, secondary sector and services sector are the three sectors which
contribute output to an economy. Primary sector consists of agriculture and allied
activities to agriculture, secondary sector includes all manufacturing activities and the
services sector includes transport, storage and other services. These three sectors involve
in production of output or providing services by using various factors of production.
Among all factors, capital plays an important role in the process of production. A
producer can make higher production by employing more capital. Hence, capital
decides the level of output in any organization. Level of output influences the
development of the economy.
7.9.1 Priority Sector Advances and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Srikakulam
District
Economic development is generally measured by the state domestic product and
per capita income. Therefore, the relation between priority sector lending and gross
domestic product of the district is measured by using correlation and regression
coefficients.
The following hypothesis is framed to know whether there is any positive impact
of priority sector advances on the economic development of the district.
H11: Priority sector advances have significant impact on the development of the district.
Table 7.19 shows the priority sector advances and gross domestic product (GDP)
of Srikakulam district from 2000-01 to 2009-10 i.e. for a period of 10 years.

(Source: A.P.Economic Survey 2011-12, Directorate of Economics)
Table: 7.19
It may be observed that the priority sector advances during the study period had
increased from Rs.97.93 crores to Rs. 827.82 crores indicating an increase of 8.45 times.
The data on district gross domestic product (GDP) had also increased from Rs.3462
crores to Rs.10695 crores. It shows an increase of 3.09 times during the period of ten
years.
The trend shows that the priority sector advances and gross domestic product of
the district are increasing over the years and showing a positive relationship between the
two variables.
This positive relationship is also being verified by correlation analysis. The
results are summarized in Table.7.20.
The value of correlation coefficient is 0.99 (Table: 7.20) between priority sector
advances and state domestic product. This implies that there is a high degree of positive
correlation between the two variables. R2
value, the coefficient of determination shows
that priority sector advances cause 98 per cent of variation in GDP of the district.
The regression coefficient value implies that one rupee increase in priority sector
advances leads to an increase in GDP of the district of Rs.10.11. This positive and
significant value of the regression coefficient shows that priority sector advances exert
very considerable and positive impact on the GDP of the Srikakulam district.
The observed value of„t‟ is higher than the table value at 0.05 significance level.
Hence, the results suggest a positive impact of priority sector advances on the economic
development of the district.
Per capita income of the district also shows an increasing trend during the study
period. It has almost increased 3 times (increased from Rs.12407 to Rs. 35959) during the
reference period.
To confirm the above results, sector-wise relationship is also verified by using
correlation analysis.

The advances to services sector had increased from Rs.6170 lakhs in 2004-05 to
Rs.17297 lakhs in 2009-10 showing an increase of 2.8 times during five years period.
The gross value added of services sector has also increased from Rs.284162 lakhs to Rs.
565291 lakhs indicating an increase of 1.99 times. The correlation coefficient is 0.986
between advances to Services Sector and Gross Value Added of Services Sector.
This implies that there is a high degree of positive correlation between the two
variables. R2
value, the coefficient of determination shows that advances to services
sector cause 97 per cent of variation in Gross Value Added of services sector of the
district. The regression coefficient value implies that one rupee increase in services
sector advances leads to an increase in Gross Value Added of Services sector of the
district by Rs.24.93.
The above analysis indicates that priority sector advances have positive impact on
the development of the district. The gross domestic product and per capita income of the
district had increased over the period with the increase in priority sector advances. A
comparison of the regression co-efficient suggests that the gross value added exerted by
lending to agriculture loans is less (4.37) compared to industries sector (8.06) and other
priority sectors (24.93).
The loans given to other priority sectors were more productive as they generate
Rs.24.93 for every one rupee loan. Non-farm sector occupy the second position
indicating the development of industries in the district. However, despite of low
productivity to loans given to agriculture sector, it is important to provide loans to this
sector in view of the nation‟s food security. As mentioned earlier, the District Collector
remarked that only 30-40 per cent of the credit need of the rural people were being met,
forcing them to depend upon private lenders. Banking services should be expanded to
cover all the rural people. Hence, it is of paramount importance to extent loans to
agriculture sector to feed the more than one billion populations.
Further, the analysis of loans to various sectors also suggests that targets for other
priority sector occupy next position to crop loans and the public sector banks and private
sector banks have achieved their targets in more number of years compared to crop loans.
This indicates the demand for loans to transport operators, self-employed persons,
housing loans and education loans.
