Achievements
Initially we have started with Rs. 25,11,000/- share capital from 1008 members as a Unit Bank. Simultaneously we have extended our Area of Operation to entire Telangana State and now our Bank is registered under Multi State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002, as a Multi-State Cooperative Bank with the Registration No. MSCS/CR/1290/2019, Dated: 23-08-2019.
The main objective of the Bank is to cater to the Banking needs of the Poor, Middle, Rural, Semi Urban and Urban people and also take care of the Banking Needs of the Business People through quick, prompt & transparent services.
The situation, when we started the Bank, the general Co-operative Banking scenario has witnessed failure of many Co-operative banks and loose of faith in the system by public, who were not willing to patronage Co-operative Banks because of their past performance. Though we have witnesses such situation in our initial period of establishment, we with our sustained efforts and backed by good customer service could still create a name for ourselves in our Area of Operation.
For the first 8 years we had worked as only unit Bank. However with the liberalization of Branch Licensing policy of the RBI in 2008 Year, for Branch expansion in Co-Operative sector, which encouraged branch expansion for the performing Co-Operative Banks, we could get 2 Licenses for Opening of new branches during the Financial Year 2008-09, thereby increasing our strength to 3 Branches.
Year on Year we are applying for new Branches and establishing the same with the permission of Reserve Bank of India. Through entering into new locations and acquiring more customers, we are making efforts to stabilize our growth Year on Year, and we could reach to 23 Branches as of now in which 21 Branches in Telangana State and 2 Branches in Andhra Pradesh State.
With the active support and guidance of the Reserve Bank of India, we could continuously perform well and also continued to introduce many new initiatives over a period of time. Sri Vanamala Srinivas took charge as CEO on 31-08-2000 and the Bank started functioning w. e. f. 11-09-2000 with 25 Lakh Share Capital and zero Business.
When the Bank commenced its operation, the general Co-operative Banking scenario was witnessing failure of many Co-operative banks and loss of confidence in the system by public, who were not willing to patronage Co-operative Banks.
