District Collector V P Gautham reviews the status of financial assistance to various sections of society
Khammam: District Collector V P Gautham has called upon the bankers to achieve the targets set at the district-level bankers committee meeting. At a review meeting with them on Thursday, he noted that banks in the district collected Rs 8,936.50 crore deposits and extended Rs 15,322.24 crore in advances. He reminded them of the shortfalls in the performance for the year 2022-23.
He said priority should be given to providing loans to the weaker sections. Farmers should be extended timely crop loans so they can carry on with their cultivation activities. Steps should be taken to identify small and marginal farmers who do not have land records and loans should be given to them. He urged that the bankers must participate in beneficiary selection committee meetings. He also requested that the targets for loans to self-help groups be completed by the next Women's Day.
The Collector brought to their notice that though new Asara pensions have been sanctioned, they are not being distributed due to Aadhaar and other issues. The bankers should attend to the problem immediately and spare the beneficiaries any inconvenience. He also called for campaigns to spread financial literacy among the people. The bankers were instructed to display the list of services provided at each branch of theirs. Along with Mudra loans, people should be made aware of how to avail of loans under Stand Up India.
