Which of the following is the principal challenge faced by farmers in rural areas of India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option 3: Challenge of rural credit
The challenge of rural credit is the principal challenge faced by farmers in rural areas of India.
Recently, Self-Help Groups (henceforth SHGs) have emerged to fill the gap in the formal credit system because the formal credit delivery mechanism has not only proven inadequate but has also not been fully integrated into the overall rural social and community development. Still a lot is to be done in the area of rural credit to improve the productivity of farmers.
