The Uttar Pradesh government has recruited 58,000 women banking correspondents (BC) to provide basic banking services in the hinterland of the state.
BCs are authorised representatives of a bank and are supposed to provide basic financial services like cash deposit and withdrawal to the people. They normally carry a mobile device or micro ATM for cash transaction, money transfer, account opening etc with the help of swiping the debit card or by fingerprint scanning.
Meanwhile, UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath has directed officials to facilitate proper training to the selected BC ‘Sakhi’ personnel for subsequent deployment in the work arena.
He stressed that the scheme would provide employment to a woman candidate at the village panchayat level. They will operate from the respective village panchayat precincts.
