KEY NOTE ADDRESS BY SHRI S.K.GOEL, CMD, UCO BANK AND CHAIRMAN SLBC,
ORISSA

The Chairman, UCO Bank welcomed Shri Prafulla Chandra Ghadai, Hon’ble Finance
Minister, Orissa and other dignitaries and participants to 116th SLBC meeting. While
extending New Year greeting to all present in the meeting, Shri Goel, expressed as follows:-

•   The global economic crisis has affected the almost all countries in the world while Indian
    economy is survived and banking in India is safe due to remedial measures taken jointly
    by Reserve Bank of India and Government of India. Various packages have been given
    by Govt. of India to bell out Indian economy from that crisis.

•   The year ahead is going to be very challenging because of the turbulence in global
    economy. The economic melt down will have cascading effect and they are going to be hit
2
    in one form or the other. All of us have to be vigilant and to work united to face any
    panicky of any kind.

•   Fall in crude oil prices and inflation has come as a great relief and the twin phenomena
    will enable us to sail through during this critical juncture.

•   The 116th SLBC has been convened at the behest of Reserve Bank of India to discuss
    important issues particularly relating to MSME (Micro Small & Medium Enterprises) in
    Orissa.

•   He said that issue of MSME (Micro Small & Medium Enterprises) and performance of this
    sector is of great importance.

•   As a result of globalization and liberalization, coupled with WTO (World Trade
    Organization) regime, Indian SMEs have been passing through a transitional period. With
    slowing down of economy abroad, particularly in USA and EU (European Union) and
    enhanced competition from China and a few low cost centers of productions, many units
    have been facing a tough time.


•   Small & Medium Enterprises are the blood vessels of the national economy and SMEs
    provide the country with a diverse range of products from very basic to the highly
    sophisticated. They are the backbone of industrial development of the country as every
    major industry has several SMEs on the supplier side contributing to its success. Apart
    from mineral based industries, there are enough opportunities in Orissa to establish agro
    based, food processing, automobile and information technology projects in the state. With
    huge investment, coming into Orissa for setting up of large scale industrial units, there is a
    great prospect and opportunity for banks and financial institutions in the state to expend
    their credit portfolio in this sector.


•   Further SMEs being the second largest employment provider after agriculture deserve all
    possible financial help for their existence and growth.


•   Lack of timely and adequate finance has been quoted by such enterprises as the biggest
    bottleneck for their growth and expansion. It is desired that banks should provide
    adequate and timely credit.
3


•   Banks should take coverage of Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro & Small enterprises
    (CGTMSE) which helps the entrepreneurs to avail collateral free loan up to Rs.50 lakhs.


•   It is observed that financing SME units under cluster approach is not picking up to the
    desired extent. Hence banks and Govt. Line Department should make joint strategies to
    increase finance to SME sectors under cluster approach.


•   In response to the call of Hon’ble Finance Minister, Govt. of India in the Parliament on
    August 10, 2005 for stepping up credit to Small & Medium Enterprises, all public sector
    banks in Orissa have doubled the credit flow to SME by September, 2008, much prior to
    scheduled date of March, 2010.


•   He requested the bankers to concentrate on Financial Literacy. It is a fact that bankers
    are making commendable efforts in implementation of 100% Financial Inclusion. There is
    an urgent need to inculcate Financial Literacy among the poor beneficiaries of the rural
    areas. Financial Inclusion without Financial Literacy will only render many of the accounts
    inoperative.


•   He praised the efforts of Mr.Sudhakar,Regional Director, who has been a source of great
    inspiration for implementation of IT enabled Financial inclusion and UCO bank has
    already introduced IT enabled Financial Inclusion amongst the vulnerable sections of the
    society to have access to the bank.


•   80% of the population of Orissa depend upon agriculture and allied activities for their
    livelihood. There is an urgent need for implementation of 100% Financial Inclusion
    throughout the state. Banks have to issue more number of Kissan credit cards to the
    eligible farmers.


•   The process of Financial Inclusion of 14 districts namely Kendrapara, Koraput,
    Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Nuapada, Bargarh, Jharsuguda, Jagatsinghpur, Bhadrak,
    Balasore, Angul, Dhenkanal, Mayurbhanj and Gajapati which was scheduled to be
4
    completed by 31st Oct, 2008 is lagging behind. All out effort must be made by all
    concerned to complete the task as soon as possible. Technology based Financial
    Inclusion will be a better method of enabling the rural folk to have easy access to the
    banking activities. He requested the State Government to kindly support such IT enabled
    Financial Inclusion.


•   Under the umbrella of Mission Shakti of Govt. of Orissa, more than 3 lakhs WSHGs
    (Women Self Help Groups) have been credit linked with the banks and more than 3
    million women have been involved in the movement. It is definitely a commendable
    achievement. He urged the banks and financial institutions to increase the credit linkage
    to Self Help Groups, particularly Women Self Help Groups and there by reach out to a
    large number of people. This will go a long way to achieve empowerment of women which
    is one of our important social objectives.


•   In the past years, credit delivery under PMRY has been commendable. It is desirable that
    the same trend in the form of PMEGP advance should continue. He was quite hopeful that
    PMEGP (Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme) would be implemented
    successfully by the banks during 2008-09 in letter and spirit. Industries Department, Govt.
    of Orissa / KVIC (Khadi & Village Industries Commission) and KVIB (Khadi & Village
    Industries Board) are requested to render handholding services in implementation of
    PMEGP as has been given to banks in previous years in implementing PMRY and REGP
    schemes.


•   Credit flow to SC / ST sector is to be given top priority by the banks as the SC / ST
    population constitutes 39% of the total population of the state as per 2001 census. He
    requested the bankers to finance scavengers and dependants under SRMS (Self
    Employment Scheme for Rehabilitation of Manual Scavengers) as 2008-09 is the year of
    implementation of subject scheme and scheme will come to end by 31.3.2009.


•   He had no hesitation in stating that there is excellent rapport and understanding between
    the banks and Govt. officials in the state of Orissa. The synergic relationship only enabled
5
    the banking sector to discharge its role very effectively to facilitate the overall growth and
    development of the state.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SPEECH OF SRI PRAFULLA CHANDRA GHADAI, HON’BLE
FINANCE MINISTER, GOVT. OF ORISSA

While extending New Year good wishes to all he observed as follows:-

•   The Government has faced many ups and down during 2008. The devastating flood
    situation in 2008 has been combated successfully by the Government in a big way. Steps
    have been taken to handle the drought in many parts of the state. The communal riot of
    Kandhamal has been successfully dealt with.

•   SHG Bank Linkage Programme can be regarded as most potent incentive since
    independence for delivering financial services to the poor in a sustainable manner. SHG
    Bank Linkage Programme is now more than 15 years old. There are large numbers of
    SHGs in our country who are well established in their savings and operations. Savings of
    SHG members constitutes the rural strength on which SHG Bank Linkage Programme is
    based upon. Experience of Financial management is a means of developing self
    governance, capabilities, skill upgradation and capacity buildings of the members.

•   He said that in our state, there has been increasing of SHG numbers everyday and are
    functioning very well. All concerned should extend support to the cause of WSHGs with
    an objective of empowerment of women in our state.

•   He expressed that MFIs because of their uniquely positioned plays a significant role in
    facilitating inclusion and reaching out the rural poor.

•   He told that nationalized banks who have been financing to MFIs should have control over
    the activities of MFIs as it is observed that most of the borrowers are financed by MFIs for
    consumption loan, Retail trade and small business loans at a exorbitant rate of interest
    even though MFIs have access to cheap bank credit.

•   He requested the Regional Heads of banks to ensure that MFIs financed by them should
    not charge exorbitant rate of interest from the ultimate borrowers. He desired that loan
    taken by MFIs are not reaching the ultimate borrowers in some cases or other as MFIs do
    not provide KYC data and personal data of the loanees, they even produce forged land
    records at the banks.
6
•   It is noticed that some of the MFIs are indulged in fraudulent practices to siphon crores of
    rupees particularly from the ICICI bank.

•   He cautioned ICICI bank which is not contributing in the poverty alleviation programme of
    the state are indulged in these activities.

•   He expressed that to augment the economy of the state, SME sector plays a very vital
    role. In mega project, in 5 lakhs rupees investment generates only one employment while
    in small investment in SME sector provides large number of employment.

•   He raised that why the banks are feeling shy to lend to this sector.

•   He expressed happiness that banks in Orissa have doubled the loan to SME sector much
    ahead of the stipulated date of March, 2010.

•   He said that each urban and semi urban branch of Public Sector banks and RRBs should
    finance at least five new SME account per year.

•   Banks should come forward to finance SME sector under cluster approach and treat it as
    thrust area.

•   He observed that tiny segment of small enterprises have inadequate access to the finance
    due to lack of financial information and non formal business practices. SME has also lack
    access to private equity and venture capital and a very limited access to secondary
    market instrument.

•   SME face fragmented market in respect of their inputs as well as products which are
    vulnerable to market fluctuations. SMEs lack easy access to interstate and international
    market.

•   He told that there is an immediate need for banking sector to focus on finance
    requirement of SMEs.

•   IPR (Industrial Policy Resolution) is being amended in the state for growth of SME sector
    in the state.

•   In view of the melting down of World economy, all are the victim of world recession, as
    said by Reserve Bank of India, Governor, it will continue up to 2010. All concerned should
    chalk out a plan how to wriggle out of the situation which is going on. The effect is more
    on mega industries like steel industries, charge chrome industries etc.
7
•   He emphasized that focus area for the upliftment of the economy of the state is SME
    sector.

•   He touched upon the bankers to improve the CD ratio of the banks in the state. As
    revealed from 115th agenda note of SLBC meeting held on 30.10.2008 it was noticed that
    some banks like Allahabad Bank, Canara bank, Corporation Bank, IDBI bank, Indian
    Overseas Bank, Punjab National Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank, State Bank of Hyderabad,
    State Bank of Travancore, State Bank of Mysore, Syndicate Bank, United Bank of India,
    Vijaya Bank, Federal Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Indus Ind Bank had low CD ratio
    which is to be improved in coming days. He requested the Regional Heads and Chairman
    of RRBS with low CD ratio to take necessary steps to increase their credit in different
    sector to improve CD ratio.

•   Finally he stressed upon the implementation of Financial Inclusion in true sense. It implies
    that people should have access to the bank / Financial Institutions at a large in putting
    their savings which can be withdraw in case of emergency. It necessitates that unbanked
    population get bank accounts, such banks accounts ensures safe and reliable payment
    system, old age pension, creation of track records to provide bank service in remote
    areas.

•   Finally he concluded that state is in the path of progress & prosperity and all have to

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SPEECH OF SHRI TARUN KANTI MISHRA, ADDL. CHIEF
SECRETARY-CUM-DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONER, GOVT. OF ORISSA

While speaking about the global recession in a globalization era, a small economy somewhere in the
globe world influence the economic activity of other nations, there is a need to have rigorous thinking,
pragmatic approach to protect the economy and to maintain the tempo of development he observed as
follows:

•   Resources are dwindling due to recession in the market. In the context of burden of pay
    revision, consequent upon the pay revision of Central Government, banking sector has a
    crucial role to play to securitize the economy particularly the unprotected section of the
    people and to empower them also.

    WSHGs. Bankers should cooperate to achieve the target set to them in financing WSHGs
    for empowerment of women in rural areas.

•   He gave emphasis for financing to MSME sector which are the driving force for any
    economy. MSME are the engine of growth.

•   It is a fact that return on capital or employment potential of a small industry or medium
    industry is much more in compare to a big industry. In many cases it is eight times in
    terms of employment potential. Banks have to consider the genuine needs and
    opportunities of the industries.

•   Under coverage of CGTMSE (Credit Guarantee Fund Thrust for Micro & Small Enterprise)
    it is observed that the average loan size covered under the scheme in Orissa is Rs.1.73
    lakhs, which is much less than national average of Rs.2.94 lakhs.

•   While telling about the extremist activities, naxal activity in specific which is surfaced in
    some parts of country notably in backward areas in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh,
    Chhattisgarh, he told that there is sense of depression among people, although
    development takes place in the state, but the people in those area are not the partners of
    progress and they do not get their legitimate due, the fruits of development do not reach
    them.

•   All concern have to address the backward areas where percept sense of deprivation
    prevail.

•   State Government has initiated number of programmes like State Employment mission,
    number of programme for them in Educational Institutes for the backward areas,
    Agriculture Programmes etc.

 While telling the importance of MSME sector in generation of employment, in the context of
 global recession, he noticed as follows:-

 •    Large areas of the state are unbanked. In the large areas of the district no bank branches
      are there. There must be some infrastructure in somewhere for doing lending activities. In
      areas having access to the bank between 50km. to 100 kms, lending activities cannot be
      undertaken. To mitigate this problem some methods / technologies must be adhered to
      sort out the problems and banks should come forward to face the situations. He gave
      importance for technology based financial inclusion in unbanked areas through IT enabled
      Financial Inclusion. In implementation of NREGA, initiatives of State Government has to
      be supported. He requested the State Government to share the implementation of

Issues raised by banks in Orissa
   •   In the (SRFAESI) Act 2002, Chief Metropolitan Magistrate or District Magistrate are

       creditors and at the time of taking physical possession of secured assets, banks are
       facing difficulties in eviction of tenants or the occupants of the mortgaged properties. If
       the district authority does not co-operate the banks in taking possession, the very
       purpose of SRFAESI Act is defeated. After the exchange of deliberations it was
       decided that Finance Deptt, Govt. of Orissa will write to all the collectors for doing the
       needful.
Action: Finance Department, Govt. of Orissa.

KEY NOTE ADDRESS BY SHRI S.K.GOEL, CMD, UCO BANK AND CHAIRMAN SLBC, ORISSA The Chairman, UCO Bank welcomed Shri Prafulla Chandra Ghadai, Hon’ble Finance Minister, Orissa and other dignitaries and participants to 116th SLBC meeting. While extending New Year greeting to all present in the meeting, Shri Goel, expressed as follows:- • The global economic crisis has affected the almost all countries in the world while Indian economy is survived and banking in India is safe due to remedial measures taken jointly by Reserve Bank of India and Government of India. Various packages have been given by Govt. of India to bell out Indian economy from that crisis. • The year ahead is going to be very challenging because of the turbulence in global economy. The economic melt down will have cascading effect and they are going to be hit
  • 2. 2 in one form or the other. All of us have to be vigilant and to work united to face any panicky of any kind. • Fall in crude oil prices and inflation has come as a great relief and the twin phenomena will enable us to sail through during this critical juncture. • The 116th SLBC has been convened at the behest of Reserve Bank of India to discuss important issues particularly relating to MSME (Micro Small & Medium Enterprises) in Orissa. • He said that issue of MSME (Micro Small & Medium Enterprises) and performance of this sector is of great importance. • As a result of globalization and liberalization, coupled with WTO (World Trade Organization) regime, Indian SMEs have been passing through a transitional period. With slowing down of economy abroad, particularly in USA and EU (European Union) and enhanced competition from China and a few low cost centers of productions, many units have been facing a tough time. • Small & Medium Enterprises are the blood vessels of the national economy and SMEs provide the country with a diverse range of products from very basic to the highly sophisticated. They are the backbone of industrial development of the country as every major industry has several SMEs on the supplier side contributing to its success. Apart from mineral based industries, there are enough opportunities in Orissa to establish agro based, food processing, automobile and information technology projects in the state. With huge investment, coming into Orissa for setting up of large scale industrial units, there is a great prospect and opportunity for banks and financial institutions in the state to expend their credit portfolio in this sector. • Further SMEs being the second largest employment provider after agriculture deserve all possible financial help for their existence and growth. • Lack of timely and adequate finance has been quoted by such enterprises as the biggest bottleneck for their growth and expansion. It is desired that banks should provide adequate and timely credit.
  • 3. 3 • Banks should take coverage of Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro & Small enterprises (CGTMSE) which helps the entrepreneurs to avail collateral free loan up to Rs.50 lakhs. • It is observed that financing SME units under cluster approach is not picking up to the desired extent. Hence banks and Govt. Line Department should make joint strategies to increase finance to SME sectors under cluster approach. • In response to the call of Hon’ble Finance Minister, Govt. of India in the Parliament on August 10, 2005 for stepping up credit to Small & Medium Enterprises, all public sector banks in Orissa have doubled the credit flow to SME by September, 2008, much prior to scheduled date of March, 2010. • He requested the bankers to concentrate on Financial Literacy. It is a fact that bankers are making commendable efforts in implementation of 100% Financial Inclusion. There is an urgent need to inculcate Financial Literacy among the poor beneficiaries of the rural areas. Financial Inclusion without Financial Literacy will only render many of the accounts inoperative. • He praised the efforts of Mr.Sudhakar,Regional Director, who has been a source of great inspiration for implementation of IT enabled Financial inclusion and UCO bank has already introduced IT enabled Financial Inclusion amongst the vulnerable sections of the society to have access to the bank. • 80% of the population of Orissa depend upon agriculture and allied activities for their livelihood. There is an urgent need for implementation of 100% Financial Inclusion throughout the state. Banks have to issue more number of Kissan credit cards to the eligible farmers. • The process of Financial Inclusion of 14 districts namely Kendrapara, Koraput, Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Nuapada, Bargarh, Jharsuguda, Jagatsinghpur, Bhadrak, Balasore, Angul, Dhenkanal, Mayurbhanj and Gajapati which was scheduled to be
  • 4. 4 completed by 31st Oct, 2008 is lagging behind. All out effort must be made by all concerned to complete the task as soon as possible. Technology based Financial Inclusion will be a better method of enabling the rural folk to have easy access to the banking activities. He requested the State Government to kindly support such IT enabled Financial Inclusion. • Under the umbrella of Mission Shakti of Govt. of Orissa, more than 3 lakhs WSHGs (Women Self Help Groups) have been credit linked with the banks and more than 3 million women have been involved in the movement. It is definitely a commendable achievement. He urged the banks and financial institutions to increase the credit linkage to Self Help Groups, particularly Women Self Help Groups and there by reach out to a large number of people. This will go a long way to achieve empowerment of women which is one of our important social objectives. • In the past years, credit delivery under PMRY has been commendable. It is desirable that the same trend in the form of PMEGP advance should continue. He was quite hopeful that PMEGP (Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme) would be implemented successfully by the banks during 2008-09 in letter and spirit. Industries Department, Govt. of Orissa / KVIC (Khadi & Village Industries Commission) and KVIB (Khadi & Village Industries Board) are requested to render handholding services in implementation of PMEGP as has been given to banks in previous years in implementing PMRY and REGP schemes. • Credit flow to SC / ST sector is to be given top priority by the banks as the SC / ST population constitutes 39% of the total population of the state as per 2001 census. He requested the bankers to finance scavengers and dependants under SRMS (Self Employment Scheme for Rehabilitation of Manual Scavengers) as 2008-09 is the year of implementation of subject scheme and scheme will come to end by 31.3.2009. • He had no hesitation in stating that there is excellent rapport and understanding between the banks and Govt. officials in the state of Orissa. The synergic relationship only enabled
  • 5. 5 the banking sector to discharge its role very effectively to facilitate the overall growth and development of the state. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SPEECH OF SRI PRAFULLA CHANDRA GHADAI, HON’BLE FINANCE MINISTER, GOVT. OF ORISSA While extending New Year good wishes to all he observed as follows:- • The Government has faced many ups and down during 2008. The devastating flood situation in 2008 has been combated successfully by the Government in a big way. Steps have been taken to handle the drought in many parts of the state. The communal riot of Kandhamal has been successfully dealt with. • SHG Bank Linkage Programme can be regarded as most potent incentive since independence for delivering financial services to the poor in a sustainable manner. SHG Bank Linkage Programme is now more than 15 years old. There are large numbers of SHGs in our country who are well established in their savings and operations. Savings of SHG members constitutes the rural strength on which SHG Bank Linkage Programme is based upon.
