There are 81 branches of the bank in Ganjam and Gajapati, the southern Orissa districts. The RGB was also said to be the first RRB to implement the Core Banking Solutions (CBS) to all its branches.
The chairman of the bank said the RGB was signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Nabard to implement to finance the crop loan to the Joint Liability Group (JLG), the group of tenant farmers and share crops.
In Ganjam and Gajapati districts, the banks targeted to finance around 750 groups over three years.
Last year, we financed 145 JLG in both the districts, the chairman said. Since they have no land, the farmers involved in the tenant farming were not getting the crop loans from the banks.
