Agricultural sector tops the non-performing assets (NPAs) list
- An analysis of the State-Level Banking Committee (SLBC), a committee that monitors banking schemes in the State, shows that NPAs have risen by 483% since June 2010.
- However, NPAs in agriculture loans have gone up by nearly 900% in the same time, arguably becoming the worst performing sector in the State when compared to medium and small-scale industries, priority sectors (service, retail among others), and non-priority sectors (MUDRA scheme, gold loans, personal loans, and others).
