ITANAGAR, Nov 12: A Special District Level Bankers’ Committee (DLBC) and District Consultative Committee (DCC) meeting was convened at the DC’s conference hall, District Civil Secretariat, Changlang today.

During the review, the Commissioner took stock of key banking and developmental indicators of the district, including the Credit-Deposit Ratio, Priority Sector Advances, SHG Bank Linkage progress, and implementation status of schemes such as PM SVANidhi, PMFME, DDUSY, ANBY, ANKY, ANPY, and AMPPY. The progress of Social Security Schemes like PMJJBY, PMSBY, and APY, as well as the Potential Linked Credit Plan, Financial Inclusion initiatives, and Bakijai cases, were also reviewed in detail.
