Question

I need information about rural banking in India?

Answer 1

I think the jeweler doubles as the bank.  

Last I heard they don't trust the banks in the hinterland.  They buy gold pieces instead.  Of course in the rural areas, most people don't have significant sums for savings.

Answer 2

what kind of information are you looking at about rural banking. Indian Rural banking has predominantly been controlled and run by cooperative banks, but today even private sector banks (read HDFC's / UTI's etc) are headed for Rural banking.

Also an emerging sector is the Micro Banking.
