Introduction

Agriculture, Banking and Co-operatives - the main story of Rural India with its vast chunk of farmers - have made rapid strides in Balasore, the granary of Orissa. And District Central Co-operative Bank (DCCB) has come a long way in combining the three into one. With a meager Working Capital of just about twenty-six thousand rupees, the Balasore Central Co-operative Bank got registered on 9th February, 1916 and was later amalgamated with Bhadrak Central Co-operative Bank in 1956 when the working capital was a mere 10 lakhs whereas it is a whopping 633 crore now. And the total advances to various sectors, amazing.

Keeping pace with the changing times and emerging technologies, all its thirty branches along with the Head Office have been fully computerized and 97 PACS out of 38 are not way behind.

And the march is on.........
