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.
