Abstract
The study was conducted during 1976-77 in Anand Taluka of Kheda District to find out the utilization pattern of the co-operative credit borrowed from the primary agricultural credit societies. Ten Primary Agricultural Credit Societies and 162 respondents were selected by random method. It was found that nearly one third of the selected members diverted the use of loans. It was also observed that out of the total loan borrowed, 20.26 per cent of the amount was diverted towards un-stipulated purpose.
