MAHISAGAR DISTRICT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A.
Introduction
Mahisagar district is an important district in North Central Gujarat region. Mahisagar is primarily an
agricultural district with paddy, maize as the predominant crops. The other crops cultivated are wheat,
pulses, groundnut, tobacco, etc. About 70% of land holdings are with small and marginal farmers and the
average size of the holdings is 2 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 Rs.71990.16 lakh, of which, Crop
Production sector has a major share of 55 % at Rs.40145.95 lakh. Term loan under agriculture is assessed
at Rs.22897.09 lakh accounting for about 32%. Under MSME, Rs.2782.08 lakh has been assessed as
potential forming 4 % and balance at Rs.6165.04 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 higher by Rs.4154.01 lakh when compared to the PLP for the year
2015-16 representing an increase of 6.12%. Further, the PLP projection is higher by Rs.4445.16 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
The agro-climatic conditions prevailing in the district are suitable for cultivation of fruits and vegetables
like Mango, Sapota, Guava, Papaya, onion, potato, etc. Mahisagar produces a variety of vegetables that
includes Green Leafy vegetables, bhendi, brinjal, tomato, okra, etc. However, there are no organized
sorting, grading, cleaning, packaging facilities to help channelise these produce for marketing purpose.
There is a scope for taking up high value crops and vegetables which will give higher income to small and
marginal farmers.
2.
Water Resources and Land Development
Mahisagar district has semi-arid climate. The average rainfall in the district varies from 770mm to 880
mm. The monsoon is erratic and long dry spells are common even in rainy season. Due to this farmers
are unable to take second crop and keep milch animals. Need for greater focus lies in water resource
management. Farmers may adopt Drip and Sprinkler irrigation system, for which subsidy is available
from GGRC.
3.
Farm Mechanisation
Shortage of labour is a major problem in agriculture. Increased bank credit should flow for purchase of
different farm machineries like mini tractor, paddy trans planter, threshers etc. through bank loan. On
many farm equipment like tractor, power tiller etc. for which subsidy is also available from Agriculture
department of Government of Gujarat. Banks may increasingly adopt the strategy of JLG financing to
enable SF/MF to purchase farm machineries and equipment. This will increase their productivity and also
reduce drudgery.
PLP 2016-17

4.
Plantation and Horticulture
Area under Horticulture crops is on rise in the district which needs to be encouraged as an alternative to the
traditional cropping pattern in the district. Planting of Vegetables and Floriculture may be encouraged under
modern methods like Greenhouse/controlled conditions with bank credit. NABARD has implemented
Wadi projects in the district where income level of tribals have gone up substantially. The same model
may be replicated by Department of Horticulture.
5.
Animal husbandry
Dairy is the second largest economic activity after agriculture. There are 1586 Milk Co-operative
societies in Panchmahal. Panchmahal Dairy has a milk processing capacity of 12 lakh lit/day, with daily
procurement is about 8.50 lakh lit/day. Therefore lot of scope exists for taking up this activity.
Panchmahal Dairy also supports purchase of animals to farmers at a very nominal rate of interest besides
providing Milk Testing machines, Milk chilling unit etc. to beneficiaries and are also having good
collection of milk throughout the district. Subsidy is also available under Dairy Entrepreneurship
Development Scheme (DEDS) of Government of India. Besides this, DIC is also giving subsidy for milch
animals. Animal husbandry, particularly dairy is the most suitable subsidiary occupation.
6.
MSME
After formation of Mahisagar district, famous Halol GIDC area of Gujarat remained in Panchmahal
District. This area is a manufacturing base for steel products, automobiles and cryogenic equipment.
Mahisagar being close to this industrial area, the ancillary industries are being encouraged for generation
of employment. Due to this advantages can makes it one of the most conveniently located district in
Gujarat in terms of its potential for new and innovative experimentation in agro-horticultural sectors, food
processing industry, agro-based chemical and pharmaceutical industry, organic fertilizers industry, rubber
and plastics industry. Banks should step up their lending to MSME sector including provision of adequate
Working Capital assistance.
PLP 2016-17
MAHISAGAR DISTRICT
GOI has established the National Adaptation Fund on Climate Change (NAFCC) with a budget provision
of Rs.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.
The PLP document, besides discussing the development initiatives taken by Government of India and
Government of Gujarat in the fields of agriculture, horticulture, and infrastructure lays emphasis on the
following thrust areas and calls for collective participation of all stakeholders in the district to firm up the
credit plan and to work towards achievement of targets for 2016-17.
a)
b)
c)
d)
Improvement in CD ratio of the district & coverage of all eligible farmers under KCC.
Promotion of Joint Liability Groups (JLGs) and ensuring credit linkage.
Capacity building of SHGs and upscaling of SHG linkage.
Ensuring capital formation in agriculture by financing potential sectors mainly Farm
Mechanization, Dairy and Food and Agro processing
e) Implementation of an Area Development Schemes
f) Formation of Producers organizations in the Wadi project area.
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. The potential Linked Credit Plan for FY 2016-17 will
certainly help in further boosting the capital formation in agriculture, improve agriculture production and
productivity and thus, secure rural prosperity.

MAHISAGAR DISTRICT
District profile
The 28th newly formed district called Mahisagar district in Gujarat observes its name from this holy Mahi
river which flows from east to west is worshipped by many people due to lots of temples and holy places
of worship along its shore. The district of Mahisagar has been carved out of two districts, Panchmahal and
Kheda. It came into existence as a district on 26th January 2013, but came in operational mode on 15th
August 2013. Lunawada capital of the former princely state of Lunavada is the district capital of
Mahisagar. Mahisagar is located in the north eastern part of Gujarat. The district is spread across 6 talukas
and Lunawada is the district headquarter. Mahisagar is 120 km from Ahmedabad and city of Vadodara.
State capital and National Highway (NH) 59 passes through the district connecting it to Ahmedabad (120
Kms) and Indore. The total rail length of the district is 155 Km and nearest airport (Vadodara) is 128 Kms
away.
Lunawada has Tirupati oil industries, Balaji food industries, Groundnut oil industries are major sources of
employment for peasants of the region. The focused sectors are tourism, agriculture, horticulture and
dairy farming. Major tourist attractions in the district include Kaleshwari which is the famous place in
Lunawada holding historical importance.
Economy and Industry:
Mahisagar is famous for is agricultural and horticultural produce. Major occupations in the district are
dairy farming and agriculture. Major crops cultivated are paddy, wheat, maize and pulses. Besides
agriculture large cultivation of horticultural crops of mango, banana, papaya, citrus, guava, brinjal,
cabbage, onion, garlic, etc. is done.
Tourist destinations and fairs in the district attract a large number of tourists every year.
Economy Drivers:
The economy of the district is driven by dairy farming and agriculture practices. Few food and Groundnut
oil industries are located near Lunawada. The famous Panchmahal Diary is located near the district due to
which many people have adopted dairy farming as an additional source of income besides agriculture and
horticulture produce. Increasing food grain and horticulture produce and growing dairy farming are
fueling the economic growth in the district.
NABARDs interventions in the district:
NABARD is having 2 Wadi Projects for 2000 Tribal people in Santrampur Taluka which are
implemented through NGOs. Under Wadi programme, besides planting mango, nimbu and guava trees
the tribal people are taking up vegetable cultivation with mandap structures as intercropping. This has
increased their income as they dont have to depend only on their traditional crop production like paddy
and maize. It has made a visible impact and stands out as a demonstrative and sustainable model.
