    E Chakrabarty Committee Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    β€’ The Gadgil Committee (1969) recommended the Area Approach, which became the basis for the Lead Bank Scheme (LBS). β€’ Under this scheme: o One bank in each district was designated as the Lead Bank, responsible for preparing district credit plans and coordinating the flow of institutional credit to various sectors. o The aim was to increase credit penetration in rural and semi-urban areas and ensure access to priority sectors like agriculture, MSMEs, and weaker sections. β€’ In 1972, the recommendations were formalized into the Priority Sector Lending (PSL) framework. β€’ Later, the Ghosh Committee (1982) revised PSL categories, and other committees like Chakrabarty (2005) further refined targets.
