Bharatiya Mahila Bank opened its 20th branch at Agartala. Inaugurating the branch, CMD of the bank Usha Ananthasubramanian said the bank will cater to the needs of women and offer the entire gamut of banking and financial services. The access to finance and banking not only helps empower women but also broadens the social base of development, thus fostering equitable growth. It will cater to every segment of women from self-help groups to lower middle class women to high net worth individuals with the basket of various products to ensure inclusive and sustainable growth, she said. At present, the bank has offices in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Guwahati, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Indore and Chandigarh. The bank’s first branch in the north-east was set up in Guwahati last November.
