BSS, Rajshahi :
Utmost importance should be given on attaining all business targets of Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank (RAKUB)in the current fiscal so that it can uphold the pace of earning profit.
Aim of the present government is to build a skilled, strengthened and inclusive financial management in the country. Besides, the government is committed to reach the banking services to the peoples’ doorsteps.
RAKUB management came up with the observations while addressing the performance evaluation meeting of zonal managers at a community centre here on Monday.

In addition to all departmental heads of head office, 18 zonal managers, divisional audit officers, zonal audit officers, principal of RAKUB Training Institute and project director of SECP were present at the review meeting.
RAKUB has been operating its banking activities as the largest development partner in all 16 northwest districts of Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions targeting its agricultural sector and all its sub-sectors.
Chief guest Nazrul Islam urged the zonal managers to perform duties with utmost sincerity and honesty to speed up the ongoing farmers-level lending activities.
Quality banking and lending activities could be effective means of boosting agricultural production to meet the gradually increasing food demand in the country.
“So, there is no alternative to making all the credit programmes need- oriented and time-befitting. Emphasis should be given on reaching banking services to the farmers’ doorsteps collectively,” he said.
Nazrul Islam laid stress on bringing all the existing potential sectors and sub-sectors of agriculture and its processing under qualitative and quantitative financing for making the country’s northwest region economically vibrant.
