Purpose of RBI Mission SAKSHAM Launch

The RBI Mission SAKSHAM Launch aims to build better management and operational skills within UCBs. The goal is to improve governance standards, follow proper rules and create strong institutions that can handle future challenges.

The word “SAKSHAM” means capable, showing the plan to make cooperative banks more efficient and ready for modern banking needs. This initiative also supports RBI’s effort to upgrade the cooperative banking system while keeping its community-based structure.

Who Will Benefit from the Programme

The programme will train a large number of people working in Urban Cooperative Banks. It includes board members, senior officials, risk managers, compliance officers, auditors and IT staff.

Training will be provided through classroom learning and online modules. To make learning easier, materials will also be available in regional languages. This helps reach more participants across different parts of India.

Collaborative Sector Approach

RBI Mission SAKSHAM Launch has been developed with support from sector organisations like National Urban Cooperative Finance and Development Corporation and various cooperative federations.

This joint effort ensures that the training matches real needs of the sector. It also helps create a long-term learning system where banks can keep improving and adapting to new rules and technology.

Strengthening the Cooperative Banking System

Urban Cooperative Banks play an important role in serving local communities and small businesses. They work under RBI for banking activities and follow state laws for management.

With this mission, RBI wants these banks to become stronger, more transparent and professionally managed. Better governance and improved systems will help build trust among customers.

Future Vision for UCBs

RBI has also shared a clear vision for the future of cooperative banks. Swaminathan J has highlighted the need for strong governance, better risk management and independent decision-making in banks.

The focus is also on adopting new technology, improving scale and building cooperative networks. Organisations like NUCFDC can help smaller banks share resources and improve financial stability.

This approach will help cooperative banks grow while maintaining trust and supporting local economies.
