At present, many village people including unemployed youths are becoming interested to produce various high-yielding and high-valued crops, fruits and vegetables but they could not do that successfully due to financial constraints.
The banks which are working in rural areas should boost investment to the potential fields, said Nazrul Islam, Chairman of Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank (RAKUB). He was addressing a branch managers performance evaluation meeting here yesterday as chief guest.
