Modi said the banking sector, undergoing major transformation, was poised to achieve a big boost in growth in rural areas which would be similar to the growth achieved by the telecom sector some years ago. He also described the banking sector reforms being undertaken by the central government in areas like senior appointments and empowering bank management through zero-interference.
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha were also present on the occasion, the PMO said in a statement.
