Abstract

Agriculture has the major stake to support the Indian economy. The farmers are the mainstay of agriculture and the need of finance is primary to initiate the farming.

Analyzing by percentage, mean and SD it was found that untimely credit disbursement, no confirm time for loan sanction and accessibility of loan schemes to right people are some of the perceptions studied on the part of farmers seeking for loan in District Co-operative Bank, Raipur City. Mean Values, Percentage and Standard Values are calculated.
