Agricultural credit is India’s rural lifeline.
But RBI data shows deep fault lines — rising short-term debt, regional inequality, and reliance on informal lending.

Mass deportations could slash U.S. GDP by up to 6.8%—a $1.7 trillion hit. Rural counties that backed Trump would be hit hardest, losing critical immigrant labor in farming, construction & manufacturing. Labor gaps = higher costs, fewer jobs, and deeper economic decline.
Add tariffs to the mix—already raising costs & sparking retaliation—and these policies risk gutting rural economies. The same communities that voted for Trump are the ones most at risk.
