V M Venkatachalam Senior Manager Indian Bank Head Office Chennai Rapporteur: Shri. S. Siddarthan Senior Manager Lead Bank Department Indian Overseas Bank Central Office, Chennai I. 2% Interest subvention scheme for short-term crop loans in 2009-10 Issue a. As per communication dated 8.10.2009 of Dept of Financial Services Ministry of Finance, GOI, interest subvention is available to farmers from the date of disbursement till the date of repayment subject to a maximum period of one year. But the guidelines advised by RBI vide their circular RBI/2009-10/186/RPCD.No.PLFS.BC.33/05.04.02/2009-10 dated 22.10.2009 restrict the subvention period to March 31st 2010 for loans disbursed during for Kharif season and June 30th 2010 for loans disbursed duringfor Rabi season. Suggestions & Consensus arrived: Benefit of Interest subvention be given to all farmers from the date of availment of loan till the regular repayment period or a maximum of one year whichever is less. Restricting interest subvention to seasonality which is not uniform throughout the country leads to All farmers should be given Interest subvention for maximum period of one year or till repayment whichever is less, from the date of availment of loan. There should not be any cap on the time restricting the subvention period, as it leads to Cumbersome procedure of crediting interest subvention relating to varying periods to thousands of farmers and Denying full benefit of interest subvention during crop/repayment period to the farmers. b. Short Term Crop Loans disbursed by Private Banks: (Referred by Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd.TMB) Issue : Farmers who avail short term crop loans from Private Sector Banks are deprived of interest subvention benefit. Hence, farmers do not prefer private sector Bank for availment of crop loan. Consensus : AsInterest subvention to farmers is available only when they avail short term crop loans from Public Sector Banks / Regional Rural Banks / Cooperative Banks. Farmers who avail short term crop loans from Private Sector Banks are not being extended interest subvention benefit. Hence many farmers are switching over to Public Sector Banks operating in their area. Private Sector Banks are also haverequired to achieve the various norms under priority lending,18% and 10% norm in respect of agricultural advances and advances to weaker sections. Lack of interest subvention for short term crop loans disbursed by Private Banks make the task of attaining the national norm of 18% and 10% very difficult due to loss of such business to nearby PSBs/RRBs/Coop Banks. Hence interest subvention has to be made available for short term crop loans disbursed by Private Sector Banks also. The forum is requested to deliberate and offer its views. 2 Suggestions & Consensus arrived: The forum suggested that interest subvention has to be made available in respect of STPLs availed by farmers from Private Sector Banks also II. 1% additional interest subvention scheme (Referred by IOB) Issue : Additional 1% interest subvention is eligible for farmers who repay within one year of disbursement. Loans given to farmers during March 2010 and repaying the same before March 2011 are eligible for 1% interest subvention. Banks can make this claim only after March 2011 subject to repayment by borrower within one year. However as per RBI Circular, Banks have to claim before 31.7.2010, that too, as one-time claim. This anomaly may be clarified. As per RBI communication dated 22.10.2009, it is stated that Banks have to credit the additional 1% subvention to the farmers account only after their prompt repaymentThe forum may deliberate and seek reimbursement from RBI, by submitting ONE TIME consolidated claim for the entire year (200910) latest by July 31, 2010offer its views / suggestions. For crop loan disbursed during Rabi 2009-10, the repayment date extends beyond July 2010. Whether additional interest subvention of 1% will be available for such loans repayable after July 2010. Suggestions & Consensusarrived: RBI is to clarify the Banks regarding 1% additional interest subvention scheme. Suggestion is time cap to be removed as enumerated above. III. Forced sale of fertilizers in Cuddalore District (Referred by (. IV. NABARD) 3 Issue: , Chennai has drawn the attention to the complaint of Welington Reservoir Irrigation Farmers Association that Murugangudi and Pennadam Branches of Canara Bank in Tittagudi Taluk in Cuddalore District have been compelling the sugarcane farmers of Ambiga Sugar Mills for lifting fertilizers as kind component under cop loan from Mustang Trading & Investment Coy (MTC) which is a sister concern of Ambiga Sugar Mills. Pointing out that they have removed the restriction on compulsory issue of the kind component to the farmers, NABARD, Chennai have advised for a) extending the freedom of cash disbursement, and b) to ensure phased purchase of fertilizers in consonance with the spirit of KCC endeavour. Suggestions & Consensusarrived: Representatives of Canara Bank clarified that now their Bank is not compelling the farmers for lifting fertilizers from MTC. Noting the same the forum reiterated that NABARD’s instructions in this regard have to be complied with strictly by all the banks. IV. Flow of Credit – Submission of weekly MIS (Referred by Commissioner of Agriculture, Govt.of Comm. Of Agri, GOTN) The details of disbursement of credit through Co-operative Banks are available on weekly basis. But, the same details through Commercial Banks are made available only in the Agenda papers of DCC / SLBC meeting being convened once in a quarter. This type of belated information on credit flow is of little use to Agriculture Dept., Government Tamil Nadu) V. Issue: . Hence, the Agricultural Production Commissioner and Secretary to Government during the 119th SLBC meeting held on 25.9.2009 has emphasized that the details of progress made in the credit disbursement should be provided to Lead District Managers on weekly basis. In this regard, the SLBC has already advised Member Banks for providing credit flow information to district level JDAs. 4 Suggestions & Consensusarrived: As LDMs informed that submitting weekly reportingprogress report is very difficult, the. The forum suggested monthly reporting of crop loan data., instead of weekly reporting by LDMs The forum also suggested that Department of Agriculture may d design a simplified format The forum advised Controlling offices of Banks to instruct their Branches to submit monthly data to LDM for providing consolidated report to the District Administration / Government. VI. Kisan Credit Card (KCC) (Referred by Commissioner of Agriculture, Govt.of Tamil NaduComm. Of Agri, GOTN) Issue: While the details of KCCs issued during the quarter is made available in the SLBC agenda, the cumulative data on Kisan Credit Cards issued since inception is not readily available. Further in the 119th SLBC meeting, the Agricultural Production Commissioner and Secretary to Government has requested the banks to issue KCC on Mission Mode citing the reason that KCC will also serve as an identity card for availing subsidy in future as per the reference made by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India that the “subsidy should go directly to the farmers”. Suggestions & Consensusarrived: The forum requested to provide cumulative data on KCCs issued in the SLBC Agenda. The forum noted that SLBC has already advised Banks to cover all eligible and willing farmers under KCC on mission mode and reiterated that the same should be accomplished without any further loss of time. The forum also advised Banks to furnish the details of KCCs issued to both LDMs and SLBC. 5 VII. VIII. National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS) (Referred by CommissionerComm. Of Agri, GOTN) It is observed that the number of Agriculture, Govt.of Tamil Nadu) Issue : Coverage of Non loanee farmers covered under NAIS has increased from 898 (109416 in 2000-01) to 988148 ( to 289349 in 2008-09) whereas; the coveragenumber of loanee farmers increased from 109416 to 289349 which is not commensurate with non loanee farmers. Consequently, subsidy utilization is poor.covered during the same period has increased from 898 to 988148. Hence, the sanctioned subsidy on premium under the NAIS scheme could not be utilized in full besides depriving the farmers from availing loss compensation. In this context, the following issues need consideration. • For jewel loans, the insurance premium is not deducted. • Even under crop loan, the insurance premium is not collected • The Government policy to motivate and involve more farmers under insurance scheme is not able to be implemented to the extent envisaged with the result premium subsidy remains unutilized. • State Government and Central Government are paying 2.5% as service charge to Banks for the implementation of NAIS on 50:50 basis. Hence, banks may consider opening a separate cell in their branches exclusively to deal with NAIS for collection of premium from loanee farmers and timely remittance of the premium to Agricultural Insurance Company. Suggestions & Consensusarrived: All crop loans for notified crops in notified areas including crop loans against jewels should be compulsorily covered under NAIS. The forum suggested for rationalization of the premium and suggested to subsidize 100% of premium to at least MF/SF. Separate cell at controlling offices should be formed to look after NAIS 6 The forum advised Officials of AIC to attend DCC meetings, wherein progress made under NAIS should be reviewed on a regular basis. AIC should intensify Awareness Camps/Mass media publicity through TV/AIR. AIC to approach Director of Public Relations, Information and Broadcasting Department for making film script on NAIS VII. Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) Issue: Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) will be implemented in select Districts of Tamilnadu viz. Dharmapuri, Salem, Ariyalur, Perambalur,Virudhunagar,Coimbatore, Villupuram and Dindigul Districts on a pilot basis. The salient aspects of WBCIS are furnished below. WBCIS will be implemented on pilot basis in select districts of Tamilnadu as per the guidelines of Govt. of India. Three insurance companies viz., Agricultural Insurance Company of India Ltd, M/s IFFCO-TOKIO General Insurance Company Ltd and M/s ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd are involved in the Pilot Project. Under WBCIS in the select districts loanee farmers should be compulsorily covered and non-loanee farmers will be covered on voluntary basis. The forum is requested to deliberate and offer its views. Suggestions & Consensusarrived: One day sensitization programme is to be organized by AIC and other implementing insurance companies for Bankers on the subject. Awareness Camps to be organized for farmers at district/Block levels. 7 VIII. National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (NAIS) – (Referred by (SBI) – Issue: Farmers feel the premium is very high with regard to sugarcane and banana crops under NAIS. For sugarcane, individual mills have tie-up with one of the General Insurance Companies. Accordingly, branches debit insurance premium and send the amount to the Company. In such cases lands of individual farmers are taken into account for claim settlement whereas under NAIS, Firka level damage is taken into account. Farmers prefer individual level settlement. Under National Agricultural Insurance Scheme, for finance made through Sugar Cane Tie Up Scheme, settlements are not made in proportion to the loss or outstanding but only minimum amounts. In case of Banana also due to high rate of premium, the farmers are reluctant to join the NAIS scheme. The above issues need to be addressed. Suggestions & Consensusarrived: AIC to clarify whether second Insurance can be taken under NAIS, for sugarcane farmers, who have already insured the crop with some other Insurance Company, under tie up with sugar mills, and in case of crop failure whether both the agencies will be settling the claim amount. IX. SGSY (Referred by SBI) Issue: Under Economic Activities (SGSY-EA), the provide both forward and backward linkages development, procurement of raw materials marketing etc which are not adequately done at 8 Govt. Departments should such as training and skill at reasonable prices and present. NGOs are also not taking much interest in this area. This has led to failure and render the units with low key activities unviable. Suggestions & Consensusarrived: The forum suggested that Government may facilitate supply of raw materials to and assist in marketing of products by SHGs at reasonable prices, earmarking certain amount of Government departments may purchasepurchases from SHGs, marketing infrastructure near activity clusters, branding etc. X. ANIMAL HUSBANDRY The forum after deliberations also recommended the following in respect of animal husbandry sector. The forum requested Department of Animal Husbandry to ensure participation of their officials in the District Level meetings. The forum also suggested that Department of AH may act in coordination with RSETI’s if any on Training modules for AH activities for the benefit of farmers 9 STATE LEVEL REVIEW MEETING – 2009: GROUP DISCUSSION GROUP –II: INDUSTRIES & SERVICES _________________________________________________________ Leader: Rapporteur: Shri.

The following points have emerged form the review meetings. Issues: The progress made in sanction / disposal of loan applications is poor. Delay in disbursement of sanctioned loans. Delay in claiming subsidy, which needs to be claimed immediately after the first disbursement. Delay in submission / non submission of MIS. Consensus: The forum noted that there is no specific target fixed to Bank Branches under PMEGP. Controlling offices of banks should review the progress made by their branches under PMEGP Scheme and ensure expeditious disposal of loan applications received under PMEGP. Loan applications should be forwarded to Bank Branches under Regd Post Ack Due. Copy of Loan applications / List of loan applications sent to Branches has to be forwarded to Controlling Offices of Banks to enable them to monitor the progress made by their branches. 10 Review should be done in the BLBC Meetings also the by BLBC Convenor / LDM with representatives of nodal agencies. Noting that in some banks, branches are not empowered to sanction loans and loan processing is done by their Central Processing Units, the forum suggested that branches should be empowered to sanction loans under the scheme within branch powers to avoid delay. Forum called for better co-ordination between DIC, KVIB, KVIC at district level. Loan Applications should be sponsored in reasonable proportion to the district target and sponsoring of a large number of loan applications has to be avoided. All eligible loans under PMEGP to be covered under CGTMSE. The data required for covering loans under CGTMSE should be made available in common application form. Identified beneficiaries must be imparted mandatory training without delay. There should be a follow up/review for disbursement of the sanctioned loans also. Bank branches after sanction should claim subsidy immediately. Nodal Agencies were requested to send claim forms to branches for claiming subsidy (as is being done by DIC, Tiruvallore) along with loan application. In some banks, processing/subsidy claim is done by nodal offices, resulting in delay in preferring claim, which needs to be rectified. Awareness programmes should be conducted by KVIC at state level. Sensitization programmes at districts for officials of both banks and nodal agencies must be conducted. Controlling Offices of Banks must ensure prompt and error free report on performance by their Branches. II. Financing of Common Facility Centres (CFC) in recognized clusters Cluster based financing is now under focus due to importance of clusters in industrial production and economic growth. Clusters can be strengthened and made more viable by creation of CFCs for the benefit of all units operating in the clusters. Central and State Governments are granting subsidy for establishment of CFCs, under cluster development programmes. Few 11 examples are Safety Match Clusters in Virudunagar Dist and Brick Clusters in Tirunelveli Dist. Issues: Banks can play crucial role in setting up of CFCs by financing the CFCs to bridge the gap between the grant amount and project cost. Consensus: Addl Director of Industries & Commerce, Govt. of Tamil Nadu explained that upto 80% grant is available for procuring machineries for CFCs which are set up by forming Special Purpose Vehicles.

Credit flow to Non Farm Sector Issue: Credit flow to Handloom/power loom, Tiny Sector, Village industries and Rural Artisans under ACP hover around 20 to 50% of the allocation. The forum may discuss and suggest ways for increasing credit flow to Micro & Small Enterprises in general and the above sectors in particular. Consensus: Branch Managers to be sensitized regarding credit to rural non-farm sector so that pressure on agriculture is reduced in rural areas. Specialized micro finance branches can be opened. Dept of Industries & Commerce may consider promoting Activity based groups/JLGs on the lines done by Agricultural Department in respect of farmers. DIC to promote tiny sector estates and facilities for tiny sector sheds should be made available by SIPCOT. 12 Interest subvention given to agriculture sector may be considered to non-farm tiny sector also. Need based restructuring of loans on an ongoing basis should be made available. Liberal working capital assessment to the sector should be made available. Business facilitator/business correspondents system to be implemented by all banks. Banks to focus on financing Agro processing sector. The pending loan applications of handloom weavers group should be disposed off immediately. IV.

Consensus: Details regarding poaching of SHGs by certain NGOs may be placed before DCC with a request to the District Administration to take suitable action. A central Registry for SHGs is also required to be maintained. ID cards for SHGs may be issued. 22 N. Loans to groups having mentally challenged people as members under Vazhndhu Kattuvom Project.

Mahalir Thittam: The SHG movement, which was started in 1989 in a small way, has emerged as a powerful and vibrant movement spread over the length and breadth of the state. As on 30.11.2009 there are 4,15,573 SHGs under Mahalir Thittam. Mahalir Thittam”, is implemented in partnership with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Banks. A SHG is a small homogeneous group of poor women consisting of 12 to 20 members voluntarily formed to promote savings and mutually agreeing to contribute a common fund to be lent to its members as per the group’s decision. The members have to be in the age group of 18-60 years. The great merit of the SHG is its ability to inculcate among its members sound habits of thrift, savings and banking. SHGs have been recognised as useful vehicles to help the poor in accessing financial resources not available to them previously and help them break away from the grip of exploitative moneylenders. One of the primary reasons for the success of the SHGs has been their excellent track record of repayment of loans. The SHGs in existence for 6 months become eligible for credit rating. Those SHGs, which have passed credit rating successfully, become eligible for credit linkage. 1.1 World Bank-Aided Reduction Project Tamilnadu Empowerment and Poverty While Mahalir Thittam and other initiatives have been successful in mobilizing and forming SHGs of the poor, more efforts are required to • Reach the poorest of the poor and vulnerable groups • Strengthen existing SHGs to enhance their skills, capacities and resources to make them self-sufficient and self-reliant. 36 • Provide financial resources and linkages required for generating significant increase in income of SHG members and thereby enhance their livelihoods. • Promote greater interaction and stronger linkages among the SHGs and Gram Panchayats. With these objectives in mind and building on the strong foundation already laid by Mahalir Thittam, Tamil Nadu Empowerment and Poverty Reduction Project is being implemented with the World Bank assistance. This Project is a community driven development based project with shift in focus to livelihood promotion and economic empowerment. The project is implemented in 2517 village Panchayat in 70 backward blocks spread over 15 districts. 1.2 Panchayat Level Federations: The vision of the Mahalir Thittam is to reach out and empower women below poverty line through self reliant and sustainable grass root people’s organisations. The success achieved in the project has prompted the State Government to further strengthen the movement and make it sustainable by forming federations of SHGs at Village Panchayat level PLF is a registered society of all functioning SHGs in a village Panchayat, promoted and managed for and by the member SHGs, for the attainment of their common goals of economic and social empowerment. The Panchayat Level Federation provides a common platform for the SHGs to share their experiences and to voice their problems. The PLF can help achieve what individual SHGs cannot, by pooling in their talents and resources and exploiting economies of scale both in production and marketing. They can also guide and monitor the functioning of SHGs in a Village Panchayat and also form and train new SHGs. Strengthening PLFs is the key to achieving sustainability of the SHG movement in the long run 37 1.2.1 Membership in PLF: SHGs in the village Panchayat which are 6 months old and have passed the first credit rating are eligible to become members of PLF. All types of SHGs that are functioning as per norms (except youth SHGs) in a Village Panchayat irrespective of their promoters can become members of PLF. 1.2.2 Role of PLF: • To empower the rural women, disabled and vulnerable. • To train and build the capacities of SHGs. • To monitor functioning of SHGs, facilitating credit linkages within Banks and repayment of loan, facilitating micro finance planning, grading, auditing of SHGs. • To resolve conflict among SHGs or its members. To certify the claims made by NGOs for SHG formation, training and monitoring • To provide other services including financial services to member SHGs like micro insurance etc. • To borrow funds from national and international agencies and lend to member SHGs and repay the loan promptly. To take up all activities that would benefit the SHGs and their members without affecting the livelihood options of individual SHGs. • To purchase, construct and maintain infrastructure facilities which would be required for fulfilling the aims and objects of the Society. To receive and manage common infrastructure facilities for the benefit of SHGs. 1.2.3 Institutional structure for the PLF: The federation of the SHGs will be at two levels i.e at habitational level and at Panchayat Level. ach habitation with atleast 5 SHGs will constitute a Habitation Level Forum (HLF) with representation from every credit rated SHG. 38 Each Village Panchayat with atleast 10 SHGs will have a Panchayat Level Federation. In case the number of SHGs in the Village Panchayat is less than 10 there will be no PLF and the SHGs may join the nearest PLF of their choice. The PLF will have an Executive Committee and a General Body. All the members of federated SHGs will constitute the General Body of PLF. Executive Committee of PLF will be constituted with representatives from Habitation Level Forums and both PLF and HLF will have office bearers to discharge their functions effectively. 1.2.4 Institutional Status: PLF is registered under Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 and renewed annually. 1.2.5 Capacity Building: The PLFs are imparted the following trainings through reputed Training Institutions in the State 1.

The PLF Bulk loan will result in financial empowerment of the community based organizations which will bring in sustainability in SHG movement 2.2.
