The study of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) in Rural Co-operative Banks of India focuses on understanding how these bad loans affect the financial health and performance of these banks. Rural cooperative banks play a crucial role in providing credit to the agricultural and rural sectors, supporting millions of members and contributing significantly to rural development. However, the rising level of NPAs poses a serious challenge, as it reduces profitability, erodes the asset base, and threatens the sustainability of these banks. This research aims to analyze the trends and causes of NPAs in rural cooperative banks, assess their impact on profitability and productivity, and suggest measures to manage and reduce NPAs effectively. The study highlights that factor such as priority sector lending, government debt waivers, and credit risk in rural lending contribute to the growth of NPAs. Addressing these issues is vital for strengthening the cooperative banking sector and ensuring its continued support to rural economies.
