Chhattisgarh government is mooting a proposal to bring the services of the nationalised banks under on roof by developing a banking complex in the district headquarters and big cities across the state.
“The state government is seriously considering the proposal to build a banking complex in the district headquarters across the state and is ready to give land for the purpose,” Chief Minister Raman Singh said.
The Chhattisgarh chief minister said it had become inevitable in the interest of the banking customers to bring all the banks under one roof. This would help small customers to get better service.
“Besides best of the infrastructure, communication network and other facilities, the biggest advantage for the banks to operate from the common complex is the security,” Singh said, adding a better security cover could be provided to the banks if it operated from a single premise.
Barring the state capital, the state government plans to develop such complexes in all the 18 district headquarters. To begin with, the first banking complex is likely to come up in the district headquarters of Rajnandgaon, which happens to be the assembly constituency of Singh.
Sources said that the district administration had identified about eight acres of land in Rajnandgaon city for building the complex. About half a dozen banks had given consent to shift the office in the banking complex, the officials from Rajnandgaon said.
