Inaugurating the conference of the Chief Secretaries/ Finance Secretaries and cooperative secretaries of the states, Rajan said there was a need to make State Level Coordination Committees (SLCCs) more active and effective.
He said the progress made by SLCC was satisfactory in conduct of quarterly meetings.
"While India's macro economic parameters have improved, growth was still slow in picking up," Rajan said, emphasising the importance of fiscal consolidation in terms of both, quantitative and qualitative dimensions.
Rajan also highlighted the need for improvement in governance structure, capitalisation and resolution mechanism in the cooperative banking sector.

He stated that without efficient governance, capital infusion would not benefit the sector, as it would function as a "leaky bucket".
He also emphasised the need for prompt corrective action and much stronger accountability in the co-operative banking sector.
He suggested evolving of effective resolution mechanism, such as, the "good bank-bad bank" model in which good parts of the bank could be identified and segregated from the bad and the bad part could be dealt with appropriately.
Besides Rajan, Sebi Chairman U K Sinha, NABARD Chairman Harsh Kumar Bhanwala. RBI Deputy Governors H R Khan, Urjit Patel and S S Mundra and other senior government officials attended the conference.
