What is a NABARD Loan?

NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) provides refinance support to banks, cooperative institutions, and RRBs for lending to agriculture, agri-allied activities, rural industries, and MSME projects. NABARD does not lend directly — loans are disbursed through member banks using NABARD refinance funds, making a strong business plan essential for approval.
