Agricultural Banking - Getting The Perspective Right

In this book the author has provided insights into how the policies for agricultural banking has evolved over the years and how they are shaping up today. He feels that there is a yawning gap between the post-liberalization and post-nationalization agricultural and rural credit and requires proper orientation towards the farmers. Historical perspective would enable present day bankers to view the emerging requirements right and the policy makers to see the need for integrating policy perspectives of agriculture credit, agricultural marketing, organized retail marketing, value chain management and world trade in agriculture, cooperatives and food security as a web of activities. It is a must read for academicians, policy makers, policy consultants, cooperators, bankers and other stakeholder groups.
