Banks can promote the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi by fulfilling the needs of the people and also by winning their confidence, Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal, said.
Participating in the 60 National Cooperative Week celebrations being organised by the Gandhi Cooperative Urban Bank in Vijayawada on Wednesday Mr. Rajagopal said that the urban bank won the confidence of its customers and beneficiaries by conducting business with a great deal of financial discipline. He lauded the bank president Vemuri Basava Koteswara Rao for the diligence he was showing not only in mobilising deposits, but also in giving loans to deserving candidates.
