Solution
KCC short-term credit covers working capital for farm assets, consumption requirements of farm households and post-harvest expenses. Purchase of combine harvesters/tractors is investment credit (long-term, not KCC short-term). House construction/cold storage falls outside KCC short-term scope. Answer: (b) 1, 3 and 4 only.
