Regional Rural Banks that were set
up in the rural area of the country was facing many problems related to the
branch expansion, slow progression, Procedural rigidities, and
Difficulties in deposit mobilisation.
For this, the committees that were
associated with the RRB’s pointed out the shortcomings of the RRB’s and gave
many suggestions and recommendations that could improve the working of RRB’s in
the country.
In June 1977, the Reserve Bank
of India appointed a committee to monitor the working of
RRB. Professor M.L. Dantwala headed it and the committee
submitted a report to the Reserve Bank of India with some important
suggestions like Providing rural credit in a more efficient manner, Sponsoring
banks should provide training to the staff of the RRB, The RRB should
adequately recruit technical staff, etc.
The Working Group on RRBs
i.e. the Kelkar Committee in 1984 recommended that small and uneconomic RRBs
should be merged in the interest of economic viability and with this
suggestion t he government of India stops its further
establishments of Regional Rural Banks in India so that no further problem can
be there associated with the RRB’s.
According to the Khusro Committee,
which was led by Dr. A.M. Khusro there was no place for RRB in the country
rural system in near future and they should be merged with sponsored banks.
Thus all of the above options are
correct.
