60 percent of small and marginal farmers in the country are not able to take advantage of the banking system.


Even today, 60 per cent of small and marginal farmers in the country are not able to take advantage of the banking system. Despite many initiatives and schemes of financial inclusion, only 40.9% small and marginal farmers have been able to join the banking system under financial banks.
30 per cent of farming families are still borrowing from non-institutional sources  which is a concern. The Agriculture Credit Review of the Internal Working Group of the Reserve Bank of India, headed by Deputy Governor MK Jain, raised concerns about millions of small and marginal farmers staying away from the banking system.
An internal working group was formed by the Reserve Bank of India in February 2019. It was given the responsibility to understand regional disparities and other matters in the case of agricultural loans and to make recommendations for their behavioural solutions.
