The Arunachal Pradesh Cooperative Training Centre is conducting a three-day short term course on Banking and credit business from July 16-18 attended by members and staff of various Thrift & Credit Cooperative Societies and Large Area Multipurpose Societies (LAMPS). A total of 38 participants from across the state are taking part in the programme.

She also encouraged members to save regularly, creating a fund that can be loaned out at reasonable interest rates.

“Credit and thrift society must expand their base; Trust of villagers in them and

their outreach to villagers is crucial. Arunachal has a legacy of Cooperation and it is the way forward if we need to progress as a society,” she said.

Dr Swaroop also called upon the societies to learn fiscal prudence, build capacity with latest techniques, products and extend them to people in villages.

“Managing people’s savings and extending credit facilities at low interest in unbanned areas, far flung remote border areas is a win-win situation,” she added.
