Canara Bank has chalked out an ambitious growth strategy in West Bengal which includes 25% increase in its branch presence. By the end of this fiscal the bank plans to take the branch tally in the state to 125 from 100 now. The bank at present has merely 1.7% share of total branches in the West Bengal state.
On July 14, the bank is going to open 10 branches out of which six are in the interiors. By March 2012, the bank will expand its presence in the all 19 districts of the state. It has recently launched an NRI cell in Kolkata and an SME cell in Durgapur. To offer job-oriented training to rural youth it has opened Canara Bank Institute of Information Technology at Berhampur.
Further, it is going to build a farmers training centre at Sonepurhat in South 24 Parganas and one financial literacy centre at Negon in Bardhaman district. It will set up a financial literacy team too for campaigning at the rural areas. The bank is also committed for women's empowerment and has plans to financially support 100 self help groups in the state.
