Agriculture has always been the backbone of the Indian economy. It still holds a place of pride, because it is the food provider and meets the basic needs of the humans. In terms of employment it is the largest sector in India. In terms of GDP though the share of agriculture sector has been declining over the years, but it is still a major contributor. To revive the condition of Indian farmer from distress, government started many programmes and Kisan Credit Card Scheme is one of them. The present study deals with the impact of the scheme in hill areas of District Nainital.
