dc.description.abstract	In India, the credit needs of dryland farmers, especially small and marginal farmers, are served largely by non-institutional sources. The formal banking system follows a risk-averse strategy towards lending to this segment, and does not appear to attach any significance to the generation of substantial intangible benefits to households through financial intermediation. After analysing the risk perceptions of households and banks in the Harihar and Mulkamuru blocks in Karnataka, the authors of this paper point to the need to develop an integrated approach to risk managementwhile extending loans to dryland agriculture.
