Sowing inclusion, reaping NPAs

............The issue is tricky because banks are reluctant to admit that farm loans are a drag on their balance sheets as it is politically correct to say that these loans are profitable. At a broader level, RBI needs to find ways to scale down this commitment for the banks, with the government pitching in to fill the gap. We need to strike a balance here and not go overboard on inclusive lending. New entrants into this arena should keep this in mind as they would be especially vulnerable...............
