Introduction

NABARD's strategies, inter alia, cover formulation and circulation of Model Bankable Schemes and Location Specific Bankable Schemes to the financing banks. NABARD also proposes to identify highly potential zones for undertaking investment activities in various states and organise interactive workshops in these potential zones. 

The Technical Services Department of NABARD is preparing and bringing model bankable agricultural projects in the areas of Minor Irrigation, Land Development, Plantation & Horticulture, Agricultural Engineering, Forestry and Wasteland, Fisheries , Animal Husbandry and Biotechnology. Besides these traditional areas, State specific area development projects and profiles in the emerging thrust areas of Medicinal & Aromatic Plants, Processing of Fruits & Vegetables have also been prepared for dissemination among financing banks. 

Of late, organic farming is gaining prominence as a sustainable alternative in reviving Indian Agriculture.  To promote this through institutional credit, Model Bankable Schemes on Organic Farming have been formulated.

These model schemes have been prepared by NABARD based on assumptions (technical and financial parameters assumed for calculation of economics) indicated in the model only. The assumptions are indicative in nature and may change from time to time and place to place.

The views expressed in the models are advisory in nature and do not represent or reflect the policy or views of National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) on the subject. NABARD accepts no financial liability what so ever to anyone in using these models.
