Performance Evaluation Model for Primary Agricultural Credit Societies

Abstract

This article by Dongre and Narayana Swamy is an attempt to evolve an appropriate statistical model to evaluate the financial performance of the primary agricultural credit societies. It is based on the empirical data gathered from 14 sample societies of two talukas in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka state. Considering that fund management is the basic weak link in most primary agricultural credit societies, it is imperative that they be able to evaluate their performance and, based on the feedback, restructure their financial policies. It is hoped that the model suggested here comes handy to the management in periodic evaluation, feedback, and follow-up activities.
