Jaipur: The Reserve Bank of India governor D Subbarao said banks in Rajasthan will ensure that all 3,883 identified villages with total population of more than 2,000 are meaningfully covered in the first phase of financial inclusion plan by March 2012. Attending a special State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC) meeting here on Wednesday, he said that banks will draw up specific strategies to improve the credit-deposit ratio in three districts, namely, Dungarpur, Rajsamand and Sirohi which have low CD ratio. Banks will set up at least one financial literacy and credit counselling centre in the minority blocks in the state by the end of January 2012, he added. Earlier in the day he inaugurated a newsibition (newscum-exhibition) at the Jawahar Kala Kendra aimed at enlightening people about development of central banking in India. Today, he is scheduled to preside over meeting of the central board of directors of the apex bank here on Thursday. The meeting will be held in the Pink City after a gap of seven years.
