CHANGLANG : The District Consultative Committee (DCC) and District Level Review Committee (DLRC) meeting for the quarter ending March 2026 was held at the District Civil Secretariat Conference Hall here on Wednesay to review banking performance and discuss measures to strengthen credit delivery and financial inclusion in the district.
The meeting was chaired by Changlang Deputy Commissioner Vishal Sah and attended by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) Assistant General Manager (District Development) Kamal Roy, Changlang Lead District Manager Binod Kumar Yadav, Reserve Bank of India Lead District Officer, branch managers of various banks, and representatives from line departments and the Arunachal State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ArSRLM).
A major highlight of the meeting was the launch of the Annual Credit Plan (ACP) 2026-27 for Changlang district by the Deputy Commissioner. The ACP has been prepared based on the Potential Linked Credit Plan (PLP) 2026-27 formulated by NABARD.
Addressing the meeting, Kamal Roy informed that the district’s total priority sector credit potential for 2026-27 has been estimated at ₹50.40 crore, including ₹20.42 crore earmarked for the agriculture and allied sectors. He said the PLP serves as a roadmap for ensuring adequate credit flow to priority sectors and forms the basis for preparation of the ACP.
The committee reviewed key banking indicators, including the Credit-Deposit (CD) Ratio, priority sector lending, implementation of agriculture and allied sector Atma Nirbhar schemes, the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Swavalamban Yojana (DDUSY), Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana, social security schemes and the Self-Help Group (SHG)-Bank Linkage Programme.
Roy also sensitised bankers and departmental officials on the significance of the PLP and stressed the need to enhance credit flow to agriculture, allied activities, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and other priority sectors to promote inclusive economic growth.
In his concluding remarks, Vishal Sah emphasised the importance of close coordination among banks and government departments to achieve developmental goals. He urged banks to improve the district’s CD Ratio, strengthen customer service, maintain bank infrastructure and ensure basic amenities for customers.
The DC also called for greater focus on Central sector schemes and timely disposal of loan applications. He underscored the need for effective implementation of government-sponsored programmes, social security initiatives and state flagship schemes to improve the socio-economic condition of rural households.
The meeting concluded with stakeholders reaffirming their commitment to strengthening financial inclusion, improving credit delivery and accelerating sustainable development across the district.
