The registered office was the only branch of the bank in the state. It was headed by a General Manager with 6 other employees. From a humble beginning, today the bank had made its presence felt in the state with 21 branches across the state. Through a huge network of affiliated Primary Agriculture Cooperative Societies PACs , the bank have its existence in every village in the state. The bank had to face many challenges and overcome them to get where it is today.
