Member of Parliament Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday directed Lead Bank in Dakshina Kannada to organise a consumer meet to provide information about various loan schemes of the State and Union Governments here on October 30.

Presiding over a meeting of officials from various banks in the district here, Mr. Kateel said that the governments have formulated several schemes for the uplift of citizens. The Union Government has decided to organise such consumer meets across the country. As such, all banks functioning in the district should participate in the meet and sanction loans to those eligible to the maximum extent.

All banks should open their stalls at the venue of the consumer meet providing information about various loan products. Various departments such as Fisheries, Veterinary and Animal Husbandry, Agriculture, Horticulture, KMF and also the Mangaluru City Corporation should extend cooperation to the event, he said.
