Pro-farmers banking for boosting crop production stressed

Senior bankers have asked their subordinates to ensure farmers-friendly banking for boosting agricultural production.

They said all the credit programmes of the bank should be need-oriented
and emphasis should be given to reaching banking services to the farmers’
doorsteps as a whole.

They came up with the direction while addressing a daylong quarterly
performance evaluation meeting of all the zones of Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan
Bank (RAKUB) at its training institute here on Saturday.

All the 18 zonal managers and audit officers and others concerned from
both Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions joined the meeting.

Chairman of board of directors of the bank Nazrul Islam addressed the
meeting as chief guest with Managing Director Kazi Alamgir in the chair.

General Managers Mozammel Haque, Khazamuddin Talukder, Rakibur Rahman
Kandaker and Saidur Rahman also spoke.

The discussants 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.

The chief guest urged the zonal managers to perform duties with utmost
sincerity and honesty to speed up the ongoing farmers-level lending
activities.
