ABSTRACT :

Rural Cooperative Credit system in India evolved into two separate streams for short term credit & long-term credit. Gujarat State Cooperative Agriculture & Rural Development Bank (GSCARDB) was established in 1951 in the erstwhile State of Saurashtra which was registered as Saurashtra Central Cooperative Land Mortgage Bank Ltd. with its registered office at Rajkot. Peculiar circumstances responsible for the establishment of this bank were the necessity to have credit agency to provide loan to tenant cultivators to enable them to purchase occupancy rights over the land tilled by them under the Saurashtra land reforms Act 1949. On formation of separate State of Gujarat in 1960, the jurisdiction of this bank was extended to whole Gujarat. The name of the bank was finally re-styled appropriately to the present one since 1990. This bank is popularly called as Kheti Bank. The bank is registered under Gujarat State Cooperative Societies Act.

The objectives of the paper are: to present the evolution and functioning of the LTCCS-SCARD Bank in Gujarat and make an analytical study of loan advanced by Long Term Cooperative Credit Structure in Gujarat. This paper is based on the secondary data. The study period is 2010-11 to 2020-21. The bank needs to chalk out suitable and time bound viability action plans to focus attention towards improving the recovery performance for reducing overdue & NPA. Bank requires urgent need of reforms to address deficiencies in its design as a non- resource-based institution with the only business of providing term loans to farmers. The GSCARD Bank is required to bestow immediate attention for taking corrective steps to tackle the above major areas of concern for up scaling the business and financial performance.
