Organizational Set-up of NABARD-


NABARD was formed through merger of ARDC, ACD and RPCC of RBI. Since then there had been considerable changes in the organizational structure of NABARD. To align itself with the changing financial and credit markets, it has initiated several steps to reposition itself and face the challenges to become an effective and sustainable development institution. In this direction NABARD has started Project ‘Reposition’ in 2010, with a view to networking resources, building of capabilities and partnering institutions for bringing about effective integrated rural development in India. The project seeks to address the present day challenges without losing sight of the long-term role mandated to NABARD by the Indian Government and the RBI. Under the project NABARD is assisting the cooperatives to set up shared CBS platform as an Application Service Provider; providing direct lending to Central Cooperative Banks; and adopting a comprehensive approach to financing and supporting Producer Organizations.

A good management is necessary to guide and direct people who constitute an important part of an organization. NABARD, like all other apex bodies, has an organizational structure with hierarchy of specific designations and well defined functional roles.

Departments: The entire work of NABARD has been divided into 28 departments working for the improvement of rural economy. Although NABARD’s organizational structure has its positive aspects yet it suffers from excessive fragmentation of its key activities within various departments and their sub sections. These departments are further divided into divisions and cells according to the requirement.

Financial Resource Management-

Resource Management is an important aspect of NABARD’s overall management. NABARD, like any other financial organization, has put in place a sound resource management system. NABARD has been providing financial assistance to various financial institutions engaged in Rural Credit Delivery System including Co-operative Credit Institutions, RRBs and CBs. The demand for funds for rural development has come up considerably in recent times. To meet the demand, NABARD raises funds from the following sources:



Sources of Funds:

  1. Capital (u/s 4 of NABARD Act, 1981): The entire assets of ARDC have been taken over by NABARD and got established with an initial paid up capital of ` 100 crore, which was enhanced to ` 3,000 crore against the authorized capital of ` 5,000 crore. The share capital is fully subscribed and contributed by the Central Government and the RBI in the ratio of 99.33:0.67. The Indian Government contributed ` 1000 crore to NABARD’s paid-up capital in the FY of 2012-13 so as to enhance it to the authorized capital level and exhaust the headroom available. NABARD seeks to raise its capital limit four times to ` 20,000 crore as it braces for bigger role in the new scheme of things where the government renews focuses on rural India. NABARD needs more capital to diversify its role in agriculture and rural development.1

  2. Borrowings: In order to meet the increasing credit demand, NABARD has been augmenting its resources from market borrowings:

  • From Central Government (mainly for long term operations)

  • From RBI (mainly for short term operations)

  • Borrowings in the form of Bonds, Commercial Papers, Certificates of Deposits, Term Money Borrowings, Corporate Borrowings from CBs, borrowings under CBLO, and borrowing against STD.

  • Borrowing in foreign currency from International Agencies

Apart from these NABARD has been providing Short-Term Seasonal Agricultural Operations (ST-SAO) refinance to SCBs/ RRBs and refinance for financing the weavers' co-operatives u/s 21 of the NABARD Act, 1981, out of the GLC sanctioned to it every year by RBI. The Chairman said NABARD plans to borrow ` 65,000 crore in 2012-13 from the government and the market for its refinance job and the new direct lending business. The target is 15 times more than its borrowing of ` 4328 crore in the FY 2011-12.

  1. Reserves and Surplus: The excess of income over expenditures is generally accumulated as 'Reserves and surplus'. This amount increased by 3 times during the FY of 2002-03 to FY of 2011-12.

  2. NRC (LTO) and NRC (Stab.) Funds: The National Rural Credit (Long Term Operations) and the National Rural Credit (Stabilisation) Funds are utilized for investment operations and for conversion/reschedulement of short-term credit, respectively. These funds are augmented by internal accruals and contributions made by the RBI. These were Operation Fund and given out of profits earned by RBI. They stood at Rs 11064 crore as on March 1999 and has gone up to ` 16058 crore as on March 2012. However, RBI stopped contributing large sums towards these Funds from 1994. Presently, the RBI contributes only http://www.nabard.org/images/rs.jpg 1.00 crore each to these funds as a symbolic gesture because the RBI Act provides for such contributions. The balance contribution now comes from NABARD's own profit.

  3. Deposits: NABARD gets deposits from various agencies and institutions which are as follows-

  • Rural Infrastructural Development Fund (RIDF): The setting up of RIDF was announced in the Union Budget for 1995-96 to finance ongoing rural Infrastructure projects of State Governments and State-owned corporations pertaining to irrigation, rural roads, bridges and flood control measures. As on 31.03.2012, aggregate outstanding of RIDF deposits stood at ` 75107 crore.

  • Short-Term Co-operative Rural Credit (Refinance) [STCRC] Fund: As per the Union Budget 2008-09 announcement, with a view to augmenting NABARD's resources for short-term credit facilities to Co-operative Institutions, a STCRC Fund has been established with NABARD with a corpus of ` 4622 crore with contributions by scheduled commercial banks not achieving their priority sector obligations. This outstanding balance under this fund as on 31st march 2012 stood at ` 20000 crore.
