Abstract

The present paper is an attempt at re-looking towards the structure of land holdings and agrarian credit in border districts of Punjab, so as to assess the recent policy initiatives for strengthening the quality as well as quantity of the agrarian credit delivery system. Sample of 360 farm households was taken from three border districts of Punjab to analyze the situation of the farmers in Punjab. The implication drawn in the study was that the complex pressure on the Indian farmers must be tackled seriously on the basis of a comprehensive examination of the causative factors and the context.
