Government to Form High-Level Banking Committee for Viksit Bharat Goals
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the government will soon form a high-powered committee to review the banking sector's role in achieving India's Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. The panel will build on insights from a two-day PSB Confluence involving public sector banks and financial institutions, focusing on reforms supported by improved bank asset quality and historically low non-performing assets. Key themes include youth banking, deposit mobilisation, investment support, and financial inclusion, aiming to align banking with India's long-term economic growth goals.
