RRBs target credit delivery in rural areas, bridging the gap between large commercial banks and remote communities. Ongoing reforms involve amalgamations for scale, technology upgrades, and recapitalization for NPA management. From an exam viewpoint, highlight how RRBs contribute to agricultural/rural entrepreneurship finance, while acknowledging challenges in profitability, high operating costs, and competition from other institutions. Efficiency gains can amplify rural economic growth by supporting small-scale agribusinesses.
