In a decisive push to accelerate rural development, Changlang Deputy Commissioner Vishal Sah has directed banking institutions to significantly improve the district’s Credit-Deposit Ratio (CDR). Chairing the joint meeting of the District Consultative Committee (DCC) and District Level Review Committee (DLRC) for the March 2026 quarter, the DC emphasized that seamless coordination between banks and government departments is vital to achieving local developmental goals.
Beyond financial metrics, the Deputy Commissioner stressed the need for upgraded customer service, better branch upkeep, and basic amenities like clean drinking water for visitors. He explicitly advised banks to prioritize Central sector schemes and ensure the swift, timely disposal of loan applications to prevent unnecessary delays for beneficiaries.
A major highlight of the meeting was the official launch of the Annual Credit Plan (ACP) 2026-27 for Changlang district. Prepared by NABARD on the basis of the Potential Linked Credit Plan (PLP), the strategy acts as a financial roadmap for the region. Speaking at the event, NABARD Assistant General Manager Kamal Roy revealed that the total priority sector credit potential for Changlang has been assessed at ₹50.40 crore for the upcoming financial year. Out of this budget, a significant allocation of ₹20.42 crore has been specifically earmarked to boost the agriculture and allied sectors.
The high-level committee concluded the session with a comprehensive review of key banking parameters. Led by the Lead District Manager and the NABARD AGM, discussions focused heavily on advancing Atma Nirbhar schemes, the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Swavalamban Yojana (DDUSY), PM MUDRA Yojana, and expanding the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme to effectively uplift the socio-economic conditions of rural households.
