Participation of banks in schemes implemented for all round development of State very important
—
Chief MinisterOwing to indifference of banks credit-deposit ratio of State considerably lower than national average
Lucknow: 06 July 2010
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Ms. Mayawati requested
the Union Finance Minister to direct the banks to increase the
credit-deposit ratio (CDR) of the State. She said that the banks,
functioning in the State, had been investing the savings of the
State in the development of other states, while as per the
parameters set by the Reserve Bank of India the same should
be utilised for the development of the State. She said that the
banks should prepare an ambitious plan to accelerate the
disbursal of advances, so that the CDR comes at par with the
national average.
The Medical and Health Minister Mr. Anant Kumar Mishra
read out the written statement of the Chief Minister Ms.
Mayawati at a meeting of Chief Ministers and C.E.O.s of banks
and financial institutions of the North Zone at Chandigarh
today. The meeting was headed by the Union Finance Minister.
It may be recalled that owing to her pre scheduled
appointments, the C.M. could not participate in the meeting.
The C.M. said that owing to the indifference of the banks,
the CDR of the State was much below the national average for
past several decades, while the same for other states like
Chandigarh stood at 141 per cent, Tamil Nadu 112 per cent,
Andhra Pradesh 105 per cent and Maharashtra 83 per cent. For
the neighbouring state of M.P., the CDR stood at 59 per cent,
Rajasthan 85 per cent, Punjab 65 per cent and Haryana 63 per
cent. She said that even though the agriculture and industry
sector of Uttar Pradesh offered wide possibilities of consumption
of loan, yet low CDR by banks was a cause of concern. She
requested that this problem should be solved on priority basis.
Ms. Mayawati said that the participation of banks in the
ongoing developmental schemes of the State had become very
important at present. She said that the poor people of the rural
areas should be provided loans liberally to ensure their rapid
uplift and also their all round development.
The Chief Minister said that the NABARD prepared loan
schemes for all the districts of the State on the basis of
Potential Link Plan every year. A loan target of Rs. 45,250 crore
had been set up for the top priority areas of the State under the
annual loan scheme for the last financial year. The RBI had
allocated a loan distribution target of 18 per cent for the
agriculture sector in the areas of priority. In the light of the
directives of the RBI, loans worth Rs. 29,055 crore were
distributed against a loan target of Rs. 29,548 crore for the
agriculture sector. She said that the State Government had
made more budgetary arrangements for providing fertilisers,
hybrid seeds and irrigation facilities to the farmers to ensure
their economic development.
Ms. Mayawati said that the State Government had taken
the initiative to double the income of the farmers. Under the
crop loan programme, mega camps were organised at
development block/Tehsil level for distributing Kisan Credit
Card/crop loan. She said that 27.58 lakh kisan credit card were
distributed against the target of 29.65 lakh in the last financial
year. This data had made it clear that banks were not taking
effective action in this direction. She requested that Finance
Ministry should issue the directives to banks for distributing
kisan credit cards according to the fixed target.
Referring to micro/small and medium enterprises, the
Chief Minister said that under the scheme of SMI, banks had
increased the credit flow in this sector in last five years, but
more efforts were needed in this direction. Drawing the
attention of Finance Ministry towards the rehabilitation of sick
units, she said that banks should also take initiative for the
rehabilitation of service sector enterprises, besides small
industries. She said that the institutions of providing financial
help had an important role in the rehabilitation of sick units.
Unfortunately, the financial institutions instead of taking
interest in the rehabilitation of sick units, pay more attention in
realising their dues.
Ms. Mayawati said that the State Government was doing
its best efforts for the weaker sections of the society. She said
that the State Government had made 20 per cent advance
available against the 10 per cent advance criterion of financial
help fixed by RBI for these weaker sections. Giving the
information regarding financial help for the uplift of minority
community, she said that effective arrangement should be
made for providing the availability of advance to minority
community. She said that the State Government had taken the
action of providing advance of Rs. 7270 crore to the 7.87 lakh
beneficiaries of minorities in 21 minority dominated districts.
She said that the Union Finance Ministry should put pressure on
banks for making more advance available to the beneficiaries of
minorities, so that the required change could come in the living
of minority community.
The Chief Minister while making request for providing
banking facilities available in 14625 villages of the State having
the population of more than 2000 by March 2011, said that
opening of banking outlets were most necessary in these
villages for financial inclusive in all the regions of the State. She
said that subsidy and payment facility smart card based on EBT
technique was being considered in centrally sponsored
schemes. The compensation for the expenditure of banks in this
process would also be considered, she said adding that the
State Government was running several schemes for the uplift
and welfare of poor and weaker sections of the society through
the limited resources of the State, besides the Central
Government. The role of banks was very important in running
these schemes, she added.
The Chief Minister said that banks should cooperate in the
implementation of Uttar Pradesh Mukhyamantri Mahamaya
Garib Arthik Madad Yojna, Savitri Bai Phule Balika Siksha Madad
Yojna and Mahamaya Garib Balika Ashirwad Yojna being run by
the State Government. She said that the development of the
country is not possible without the development of the Uttar
Pradesh. She appealed to banks for providing their cooperation
in the development of the State in view of their important role.
