Encouraging digital transactions would be the best solution to check corruption, observed Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu while addressing the 227th State-Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC) meeting at the Secretariat in Velagapudi on July 9 (Tuesday).
Mr. Naidu suggested bankers to lend money to the revenue-generating sectors, while giving the highest priority to agricultural loans and supporting tenant farmers.
On this occasion, the SLBC has released a ₹5.4 lakh-crore credit plan for the 2024-25 financial year, of which ₹3.75 crore was earmarked for the priority sectors lending and ₹1.65 crore to other sectors. This is around 14% more when compared to the landing target of the previous fiscal year.
The SLBC has decided to constitute a committee comprising Ministers, bankers and experts to suggest a way forward on the selection of the five key sectors.
