stipulated norm of 60%. Similarly, agriculture advances stood at Rs145.14 crore, forming 35.31% of the total advances against stipulated norms of 18%, sources said.
Credit Deposit ratio increased to 44.54% from 41.48% as on March 31, 2010. Similarly operating profit of the bank increased to Rs 10.26%, while net profit after tax rose by 93% over previous corresponding year from Rs1.88 crore to Rs3.65 crore.
"Our all the branches of the bank except the new Jagannath Prasad branch earned profit," chairman of the bank PVSTR Seshagiri Rao said.
There are 81 branches of the bank in Ganjam and Gajapati, the southern Orissa districts. The RGB was also said to be the first RRB to implement the Core Banking Solutions (CBS) to all its branches.
The chairman of the bank said the RGB was signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Nabard to implement to finance the crop loan to the Joint Liability Group (JLG), the group of tenant farmers and share crops.
In Ganjam and Gajapati districts, the banks targeted to finance around 750 groups over three years.
Last year, we financed 145 JLG in both the districts, the chairman said. Since they have no land, the farmers involved in the tenant farming were not getting the crop loans from the banks.
