Bihar is strengthening rural banking infrastructure by extending banking facilities, micro ATMs and Bank Mitra services to farmers and rural residents across 23 districts through District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs).
The initiative aims to improve access to essential banking services in rural and underserved areas, reducing the need for people to travel long distances for basic financial transactions.
With micro ATMs and Bank Mitra facilities, residents can access convenient banking services closer to their homes. The move is expected to promote financial inclusion, strengthen the grassroots banking network and enhance the role of cooperative banks in rural development.
The initiative also reflects the government’s push towards digital banking and greater financial accessibility through the cooperative network.
