Our mandate is bringing rural prosperity through credit and non-credit initiatives in the fields of agriculture, cottage & village industries, handicrafts & small scale industries.

Our Head Office is located in Mumbai and we have a pan-India presence with 31 Regional Offices. We have a phenomenal district-level outreach with more than 423 District Development Managers engaged in rural development at the district level. Our training establishments are situated at Bolpur, Lucknow and Mangalore, serving the capacity building requirements of rural financial institutions across the country and Asia Pacific countries, besides our own staff. OUR FUNCTIONS

Our initiatives are aimed at building an empowered and financially inclusive rural India through specific goal-oriented departments which can be categorized broadly into three heads: Financial, Developmental and Supervision, touching almost every aspect of rural economy. From providing refinance support to building rural infrastructure, from preparing district level credit plans to guiding and motivating the banking industry in achieving these targets, from supervising Cooperative Banks and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) to helping them develop sound banking practices and onboarding them to the CBS platform, from designing new development schemes to the implementation of GoI’s development schemes, from training handicraft artisans to providing them a marketing platform for selling these articles, we touch millions of rural lives across the country.

झारखंड का भगैया हैंडलूम अपनी सादगी, रचनात्मकता और विशिष्ट डिज़ाइनों के लिए जाना जाता है । नाबार्ड के आर्थिक सहयोग और प्रशिक्षण से स्थानीय कारीगरों को नए डिज़ाइन और तकनीकें सीखने तथा अपने उत्पादों में विविधता लाने का अवसर मिला।

आम साड़ियों और कपड़े की थानों तक सीमित न रहकर आगे बढ़ते हुए, आज इन कारीगरों के उत्पादों में मधुबनी हैंड पेंटिंग और मीनाकारी जैसे नए डिज़ाइन शामिल हो गए हैं। नाबार्ड के सतत सहयोग से भगैया सिल्क को भौगोलिक संकेतक (GI) पहचान भी प्राप्त हुई; जिससे इस पारम्परिक कला को व्यापक पहचान और कारीगरों को बेहतर आजीविका के अवसर मिले।

नाबार्ड के 45 वर्षों की यात्रा का उत्सव ऐसी ही प्रेरक कहानियों को समर्पित है, जहाँ कौशल, नवाचार और सहयोग मिलकर आजीविका के नए अवसरों का निर्माण करते हैं।

प्रस्तुत है बदलाव की तस्वीरों में अगली प्रेरक कहानी — संजय दास।

A weaver has the skill.
An artisan has the craft.
A rural producer has the enterprise.
But what happens when they come together?

They gain the strength to reach better markets, build stronger businesses and create more sustainable livelihoods. That is where Rural Enterprise Producer Organisations (REPOs) come in.

What are REPOs?
Rural Enterprise Producer Organisations (REPOs) are member-owned collective groups. With NABARD’s support, 70+ REPOs across 27 states are helping rural producers turn collective strength into opportunity while giving traditional skills and crafts a stronger future.
