Item Open Access Agricultural Credit for Sustainable Rural Development: An Empirical Study of Jalpaiguri District, West Bengal(Indian Society of Agricultural Marketing, 2023) Laha, Sidhartha SankarIndian agriculture is dominated by small cultivators. With an average holding size of just of less than 2 ha size 86 percent of holdings, Indian agriculture produces sufficient food, feed, and fibre to India's large population, and in addition generates some net export surplus. This would not have been possible without the continuous flow of massive credit to farmers to buy modern inputs. Credit is one of the most crucial inputs for agricultural development. Agricultural credit in itself is not an input but it helps in creating environment for the adoption of modern production technology and encouraging private investments on this sector. Our analysis in this paper shows that the in spite of commendable policy changes in Indian agri-credit system, the fact that the percentage of institutional credit in overall credit to agriculture has remained within a narrow range due to inadequacy and so many constrains in our studied area ofJalpaiguri District. The ANOVA results revealed that there is significant difference between perception of land less and land lords. More income group farmers and low income group farmers and Z test revels relationship between income and crop loss and choice of sources of credit. In conclusion it is recommended that a separate priority should be given to agricultural credit exclusively for small farmers. Government should work in close association with Small Farmers' and Development Agencies for the benefits of small farmers.Item Open Access Agricultural credit in Assam with special reference to Assam gramin vikash bank: a case study of Barpeta District(University of North Bengal, 2019) Kalita, Malay ,; Bhuimali, Anil,Item Open Access Agricultural in Sikkim with special reference to the mixed farming of La-chen and La-Chuang Valleys of North Sikkim(University of North Bengal, 1994) Rai, Saroja; Dasgupta, MItem Open Access Agricultural Mechanization in West Bengal: A comparative Study of Bardhaman and Dakshin Dinajpur Districts(University of North Bengal, 2016) Sarkar, Chinmoy; Bagchi, Kanak KantiItem Open Access Agricultural responses of land reforms and new technology: a village-level study in Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal(University of North Bengal, 2002) Konar, Swapan Kanti; Chakrabarty, Hillol KumarItem Open Access Agriculture and Rural Development in India Challenges and Opportunities(ABHIJEET PUBLICATIONS, 2023) Laha, Sidhartha Sankar; Ghosh, Tapan KumarItem Open Access Agririan backwardness and interlocking of product and factor markets in agriculture : a study of Cooch Behar District in West Bengal(University of North Bengal, 1998) Chakrabarti, Debabrata; Chakraborty, Hillol Kumar,Item Open Access Changing pattern in agriculture ; a case study of Koch Behar district(University of North Bengal, 2009) Roy, Ranjan; Sarkar, SubirItem Open Access Co-operative in rural development: a study of the role of the Cooch Behar Co-operative agriculture and Rural Development Bank Ltd. since 1977(University of North Bengal, 1998) Sarkar, Amaresh Kanti; Sengupta, P KItem Open Access Deforestation: Issues and Impacts on Agriculture- an Ethnographic Study in the village Chirudih, Purulia, West Bengal(University of North Bengal, 2015) Ray, BedprakashItem Open Access An enquiry into the determinants of adoption of new technology in agriculture by tribal and non tribal farmers : a case study of Barpeta district of Assam(University of North Bengal, 2005) Ahmed, Aftab Uddin; Bagchi, Kanak Kanti.Item Open Access Experimental Farming of Cucurbita moschata Duchesne – An Exotic pumpkin at NBU Medicinal Plant Garden(University of North Bengal, 2023) Mondal, Sujit; Basu, S.K.; Chowdhury, MonoranjanCucurbita moschata Duchesne (Butter Squash) is a high food value exotic vegetable of Cucurbitaceae with its origin in Columbia, South America.
