Bank Sakhi Enhances Digital Banking Access for Tribal Communities in Gujarat
In Gujarat's Chhota Udepur district, digital banking services have become more accessible to tribal communities through the efforts of Bank Sakhi Sushmaben Rathwa. Operating a Banking Correspondent Point from her home for two years, she offers services like cash deposits, withdrawals, and KYC procedures, reducing the need for villagers to travel to distant bank branches. This initiative, supported by training under the National Rural Livelihoods Mission, promotes financial inclusion and convenience for local residents.
