RAKUB stresses farmers-friendly banking
RAJSHAHI, Feb 8, 2019 (BSS) – The zonal managers of Rajshahi Krishi
Unnayan Bank (RAKUB) were urged to maintain farmers-friendly banking for
boosting grassroots economy.
Speakers viewed this while addressing a daylong half-yearly performance
evaluation meeting of all the zonal managers and others concerned at Training
Institute of the bank here Thursday.
They also urged them to speed up the farmers-level lending activities
for boosting agricultural production to meet up the national food demand.
To this end, all the credit programmes of the bank should be need-
oriented and emphasis should be given on reaching banking services to the
farmers’ doorsteps.
Chairman of RAKUB board of directors Nazrul Islam and its Director
Professor Rustam Ali Ahmed addressed the conference as chief and special
guests respectively with Managing Director Kazi Alamgir in the chair.
The senior bankers laid stress on bringing all the existing potential
sectors and sub-sectors of agriculture and its processing under qualitative
and quantitative financing for making the country’s northwest region
economically vibrant.
They said the pro-farmers banking in the bank must be ensured for
cherished development of the region after the best use of its existing
natural resources.
Chief guest Nazrul Islam urged the branch managers to perform duties
with utmost sincerity and honesty to speed up the ongoing farmers-level
lending activities.
Quality banking and lending activities could be effective means of
boosting agricultural production to meet the gradually increasing food demand
in the country.
“So, there is no alternative to making all the credit programmes need-
oriented and time-befitting. Emphasis should be given on reaching banking
services to the farmers’ doorsteps collectively,” he said.
Nazrul Islam urged the participants to promote different innovative
ideas for making the banking services more clients-friendly.
