CACP (2025) observed that a higher subsidy on Urea in comparison to P&K fertilisers is leading to excessive consumption of nitrogenous fertilisers The ideal ratio for application of N:P:K fertilisers is recommended at 4:2:1. NITI Aayog (2022) observed that soil health cannot be maintained without the regular application of organic manures and recycling of crop residue. In 2026-27, Rs 1,70,799 crore has been allocated towards the NBS and Urea Subsidy scheme by the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers. Total fertiliser subsidy is estimated to be 3.2% of the total budget of the central government in 2026-27.

At present Govt sets MSP at 1.5 times of A2+FL Cost. But the farmers demand 1.5 times of C2 Cost and even the National Commission on Farmers (2004) led by MS Swaminathan recommended 1.5 times of C2. Another issue is legal backing of MSP. There is neither statutory backing for these prices nor any law mandating their enforcement. Thus, the government is not legally bound to pay these even if open market rates for the said produce are ruling below their announcement floor prices. However, in case of Sugarcane there is FRP. Legal obligation for sugar mills to pay FRP to sugarcane farmers. Backed by: Sugarcane Control Order (1966).

MSP is released for 22 Crops but there are 2 Derived Crops, that's why some PIB Articles mention it as 24 and somewhere you see 23 (22 + Sugarcane). For Sugarcane Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) is provided, though its like MSP but its not actually there are other features too. In Exam you need to mark 22.

Green Marked could be asked in Phase I. Rest other are Low priority and could mainly come in GA section.

NABARD Grade A Phase II 2025 Marks Analysis English Descriptive: The average score in English Descriptive was 70+, with many candidates scoring between 70 and 75 marks. This is one of the primary reasons why the sectional cut-off increased to 60 marks this year. Objective (ESI & ARD): The Objective ESI & ARD paper was difficult. However, many candidates still managed to score 30-35 marks (sectional cut-off: 21.75 marks) Descriptive Answer Writing: The average score in the Descriptive Answer Writing paper is around 35-38 marks (sectional cut-off: 29.25 marks) Why Did the Overall Cut-off Increase Significantly This Year? Higher Scores in English Descriptive: NABARD and RBI generally award Average marks in the English Descriptive paper. Over the last 4-5 years, the average score in NABARD Grade A Descriptive English has typically been around 58-62 marks. However, this year, the average increased by nearly 10 marks, with many candidates scoring 70+. Decent Performance in the Objective Paper: Although the Objective ESI & ARD paper was difficult, candidates performed better than expected, with many securing 30-35 marks, which also contributed to the higher overall cut-off.

With the Score Card now released, NABARD has officially concluded the Grade A 2025 recruitment cycle, including the joining and training process. You can now expect the NABARD Grade A 2026 notification most likely in August. Don't be complacent Now. Be ready. Stay consistent.
