About National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development

National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development Logo

Reserve Bank of India (RBI), constituted a committee to review the arrangements for institutional credit for agriculture and rural development (CRAFICARD) on 30 March 1979 to review the arrangements for institutional credit for agriculture and rural development. The Committee, in its interim report, submitted on 28 November 1979, felt the need for a new organisational device for providing undivided attention, forceful direction and pointed focus to the credit problems arising out of integrated rural development and recommended the formation of National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). NABARD came into existence on 12 July 1982 by transferring the agricultural credit functions of RBI and refinance functions of the then Agricultural Refinance and Development Corporation (ARDC).

NABARD recruitment offers great career opportunities for several posts such as Development Assistants. Interested candidates can pursue courses in Bachelor’s Degree in any discipline for a great career at NABARD.
