India’s largest urban co-operative bank, Saraswat Co-operative Bank, has reinforced its commitment to inclusive development by presenting the ‘Loksatta District Development Index’, an initiative aimed at recognising excellence in district-level governance across Maharashtra. The index was formally launched in Mumbai by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in the presence of key dignitaries.
Saraswat Bank Chairman Gautam Thakur attended the event, highlighting the bank’s active role in supporting initiatives that promote balanced regional growth and data-driven governance. The platform honours top-performing districts based on multiple development indicators, encouraging improved administrative performance.
The initiative is seen as a step towards strengthening Maharashtra’s position as a leading economic powerhouse and aligns with the broader vision of ‘Vikasit Maharashtra’ and long-term economic growth.
Through this effort, Saraswat Bank continues to demonstrate its role beyond banking, contributing to development and community progress across the state.
