    Performance of primary agricultural cooperative credit societies in Haryana and Karnataka
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Ashok A. Pujari; Suhag, K.S.
    The present study was undertaken based on secondary data pertaining to Haryana and Karnataka states for the period of ten years i.e. 1996-1997 to 2005-06. The specific objectives of the study were: 1. To examine the size of operations, pace of deposit mobilization and functional structure of loans in PACS 2. To study the loan delinquencies and unit transaction /administrative cost of PACS. 3. To identify the factors responsible for loan overdues in PACS. For the study, the relevant data was obtained from various publications of different cooperative institutions, NABARD and RBI publications including Statistical Statements Related to Cooperative Movement in India, Part-I. The data related to other aspects of the study like factors affecting overdues etc. were also collected from various issues of Statistical Abstracts of Haryana and Karnataka sates, other published and unpublished sources. Tabular analysis was carried out to analyse the data. Simple statistical tools such as averages, percentages, correlation and regression analysis and compound growth rate, multiple regression were used used to bring the outline conclusions for the said objectives. The study revealed that the number of membership, paid up share capital, owned capital, deposit mobilization, borrowings, working capital, loans outstanding, loans advanced, loan recovery, overdues and cost of management increased over the study period for both the states and the compound growth rates (CGRs.) of the these variables were found significant at five per cent level of probability. The paid up share capital constituted more share from individuals than government and borrowings constituted the major share of working capital in both the states, over study period. It is clear from the study that out of the total loan advanced more than 85 per cent and 70 per cent of the loan was that of agriculture in Haryana and Karnataka respectively. Major portion of short term and medium term loans were given for seasonal agricultural operations. For Haryana, Agricultural Production Sub-System (APS) share was between 93.14 per cent to 97.76 per cent, while Agricultural Produce Marketing and Processing Sub-System (AMPS) loans occupied second place in the total loans advanced and Agricultural Inputs Distribution Sub-System (AIS) remained meager. Out of the APS loans, Current Production Growth and Stability (CPGS) occupied maximum share of 93.05 per cent to 97.60 per cent which was followed by Current Production Diversificaton and Growth (CPDG) and lastly the loan for Current Production Loss Minimization (CPLM) was also found to be which was very meager. The order of loan lending was same for Karnataka but, share of each category of loan differs. Percentage of APS ranged between 92.03 per cent to 98.38 per cent. GPGS covered most part of APS to the tune of 86.68 per cent to 96.18 per cent. The study further revealed that among the variables which have shown significant association with the dependent variable are the amount of loans outstanding which has indicated the highest association followed by amount of loans advanced, percentage of cash crops to gross cultivated area, percentage of loanee members to total cultivating families and the area under high yielding varieties in case of Haryana and factors affecting overdues in Karnataka state were cropping intensity in addition to the above factors.
