Customer Outreach Initiative

The customer outreach initiative is a step taken by the government to take banking to the general public and enhancing their awareness regarding banking products available and to ensure credit off-take as quickly as possible to overcome the inactiveness in credit growth. It will also provide an opportunity for customers to meet bankers at one-stop for their need-based loans. One of the vital objectives of the program is to identify bank priorities for the $ 5 trillion economies. The inspiration behind this program is to show the capacity of the Private Sector Banks (PSBs) and the willingness to fund all sectors of the economy.
