A block-level Bankers Committee meeting was held at the Athmalgola block headquarters in Patna district, presided over by District Lead Manager (LDM) Abhishek. The meeting, convened under the directives of Block Development Officer Rajesh Kumar, saw the participation of branch managers from various banks.

The primary agenda of the meeting was to expand banking services and ensure that the benefits of central and state government schemes reach the common people. LDM Abhishek informed that the Department of Financial Services has launched a financial inclusion campaign on October 21, 2026, which will continue for over two months. He urged all banks to actively participate in this initiative, under which special camps will be organized to connect people with banking facilities.

Branch managers were specifically instructed to connect as many beneficiaries as possible with the 'PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana'. They were also told to ensure that no loan application is rejected without a valid and concrete reason. The progress of schemes like the Prime Minister Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) and the Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) was also reviewed.

LDM Abhishek directed all banks to sanction at least 60% of their annual loan targets by the end of December. Measures to improve the banks' Credit-Deposit (CD) ratio were also discussed. Instructions were also given to reconcile Register IX and Register X and for all branch in-charges to submit pending Public Demand Recovery (PDR) lists promptly.
