Impact of Applied Agro-Cooperative Credit and Banking on Farmers and Farming
IMPACT OF APPLIED AGRO-COOPERATIVE CREDIT AND BANKING ON FARMERS AND FARMING

People depend for good introduction in Agro-Farming not only on good seeds, good fertilizers, good irrigation and good Agro-technology; but they need also short-term, medium and long term loans to meet their other demands at farm level in farming. This genuine situational scene has a power to present an impact of applied cooperative credit and banking on farmers in farming from the point of origin of the Indian Cooperative Credit (a facile credit) movement from the period of working of NIDISH in Madras Province in 1882 to 1904 till date. This is a good Genesis of this issue with a scientific periodicity which may be perused in following section.
An Iota in the facile cooperative credit scene of madras province Nidish a socio-economic social group were working in very active form like the primary cooperative credit societies at farm level in rural Madras province in 1882-1884.
Madras Provinces 1882-1884 :- Fedaric Nicholson’s visit from India to Germany to study the working of The Raiffieson Model Rural Cooperative Credit societies and came back with a finding “Find Raiffieson” because he found 100% similarities in need of Agro – financing for Rural India, with cultural similarities at great scale in rural India and Rural Germany. In India also there was great exploitation done by private moneylenders by charging 75% rate of interest and in Germany also such high interest was taken by Jews/Nazis from Rural Germany Farmers. The profit motive and usurious practices were similar in India and Germany.
In 1882 to 1884 Fedaric Nicholson came back from Germany in Madras Province and recommended to the government to start primary Agro-Cooperative credit and Banking instead of Nidish to protect rural people from great exploitation and usurious practices of private money lender. His report and recommendations were accepted by the Madras provincial government under the control of British

    *ASHISH SHARMA (R.R.M. COLLEGE, Neemuch) Agriculture plays an important role in the development of the Indian economy. It accounts for about 19-21 per cent of GDP and about two thirds of the population is dependent on the sector. The importance of farm credit as a critical input to agriculture is reinforced by the unique role of Indian agriculture in the macroeconomic framework and its role in poverty alleviation. Agricultural finance is a subset of rural finance dedicated to financing agricultural related activities such as input supply, production, distribution, wholesale, processing and marketing. Financial service providers face distinct challenges when dealing with this sector. For example, the seasonal nature of production and the dependence on biological processes and natural resources leaves producers subject to events beyond their control such as droughts, floods or diseases. The modern agriculture has increased the use of inputs specially for seed, fertilizers, irrigational water, machineries, implements etc. which has increased demand for agricultural credit. The adoption of modern technology, which is capital intensive, has commercialized agricultural production in India. Besides, the farmer's income is seasonal while his working expenses are spread over time. In addition, farmer's inadequate savings require the uses of more credit to meet the increasing capital requirements. Furthermore, credit is a unique resource, since it provides the opportunity to use additional inputs and capital items now and to pay for them from future earnings.…

    o-operatives in the Philippines may be entering a new era at the start of the next decade in 2010. There are forces already at work that can bring co-operatives to a new level of development. But like any human and social endeavour, the character and shape of that development would depend on how the key stakeholders – co-operatives and government – would read, interpret and respond to the events that will impact on cooperatives. If positive consciousness is generated and channelled to common action, we may yet see opportunities for real change happen in the country in the years ahead. But, first, an analysis of what has happened since the 1950s, the time when real1 cooperatives started to take root in the country. 1950 – 1970s: Three Decades of Self-Awareness Before the 1950s, co-operatives in the country were organized mostly by government as part of a series of programs to develop agriculture and energize the rural economy. Cooperatives that were organized on self-help and voluntary basis were far between and did not prosper because of the war (WWII) or the lack of support systems. Because of the fundamental difference in the character of these development efforts, we can refer to the former as mandated tradition and the latter the voluntary tradition. The 1950s saw the voluntary tradition take root when the Catholic Church in particular put credit union promotion at the fore front of its social action. Credit unions were organized on the basis of self-help and mutual help, following the universally accepted co-op values and principles. Many successful co-operatives in the country today trace their roots to this decade and many of them still carry the names of their patron saints or the parish where they originated. By the time the martial law regime brought back the mandated tradition with its samahang nayon program – this time extensively and with full force – the voluntary tradition was firmly rooted…

    This assignment takes issue with claims made by range of development agencies and practitioners that micro credit is, or could be, a panacea for rural development. Three options for the provision of micro credit to the rural poor are presented. In some developing countries the state has provided micro credit. These schemes have frequently collapsed because they were often motivated by political, rather than financial considerations. Over the last few decades, neo-liberal theorists have re-examined the role of the much-maligned money lender. They have argued that the ostensibly exorbitant rates of interest charged, are actually legitimate reflections of the opportunity cost of the loans. They suggest that the work of the money lender be facilitated through the removal of legislative and other restrictions. In recent years innovative Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) have begun to provide micro loans to the rural poor. They have introduced a range of novel mechanisms to provide micro credit. Although there is variety in the workings of the DFIs, they commonly: supervise their loan recipients intensively; lend to groups who are jointly and severally…

    By the beginning of the twentieth century, the peasantry had begun to play a very important role in the diversification of the West Indian economies. The Royal Commissions before the Norman Commission, and the Norman Commissions had made recommendations for the development of the peasantry (Curtis: p 32). Many of the export crops recommended by the Norman Commission were already being cultivated by the peasantry. For these crops to have greater success, the peasantry would need capital for greater investment. But this capital was not forthcoming. This was due to the fact that they had limited capital, occupied small plots of land because they were charged a lot for these lands. Additionally the peasants cannot produce at subsistence level. The black peasantry in particularly faced a number of obstacles which included the increase in land prices, eviction from lands, refusal to subdivide and sell lands and also heavy taxations. The planters most of the times sold large pieces of lands for lower cost to the whites in comparison to the ex-slaves.…
