In a developing economy like India, even today agriculture is the backbone of the rural economy. Agriculture is one of the priority sectors which play a crucial role in the growth of the economy. Though its contribution to the GDP has been low in the relative sense, it has a potential to reduce poverty by providing employment and food security to the majority of the population. The 12th Five Year Plan Approach Paper indicates that agricultural development is an important component of faster, more inclusive and sustainable growth approach. However, poor living conditions in the rural economy indicate that there is a need for government measures, initiatives and interventions in a planned and coordinated manner. Majority of the farmers, with small holdings and lack of assured irrigation are poor, as they are not able to sustain from agricultural income alone. Hence there is a need for a strong institutional credit and banking set up to meet the credit requirements, effectively and on reasonable terms and conditions. It is in this background an attempt is made in this paper to analyse the impact of bank credit on agricultural sector in rural areas with a case study of Hullahalli Village. The study is based on primary data, tables, charts and diagrams will be made use of in the analysis
