NABARD was established on the recommendations of
B.Sivaraman Committee, (by Act 61, 1981 of Parliament) on 12 July 1982 to
implement the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development Act 1981. It
replaced the Agricultural Credit Department (ACD) and Rural Planning and Credit
Cell (RPCC) of Reserve Bank of India, and Agricultural Refinance and Development
Corporation (ARDC). It is one of the premier agencies providing developmental credit
in rural areas. NABARD is India's specialised bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development in India.
ROLE:
NABARD has been instrumental in grounding rural, social innovations and social
enterprises in the rural hinterlands. It has in the process partnered with about 4000
partner organisations in grounding many of the interventions be it, SHG-Bank
Linkage programme, tree-based tribal communities’ livelihoods initiative, watershed
approach in soil and water conservation, increasing crop productivity initiatives
through lead crop initiative or dissemination of information flow to agrarian
communities through Farmer clubs. Despite all this, it pays huge taxes too, to the
exchequer – figuring in the top 50 tax payers consistently. NABARD virtually ploughs
back all the profits for development spending, in their unending search for solutions
and answers. Thus the organisation had developed a huge amount of trust capital in
its 3 decades of work with rural communities.
