The 21st century belongs to Asia and India will lead the race if it
excels in social banking, according to Arjun Meghwal, Union Minister of
State for Finance.
Tracing history, Meghwal said that after the 18th and 19th centuries
belonged to Europe and America, the 21st century belongs to Asia "as
predicted by [former Prime Minister] Atal Bihari Vajpayee".
"If social banking performs well, no one can stop India from being the
leader of Asia in 21st century," he said.
Meghwal used the analogy of a beauty pageant to make his point.
"Sometimes you think that some woman will win in the finals of Miss
World but the other one wins.
The reason is that the other one may not
look much better but she behaves well. India is like that," he said.
Speaking at a banking awards event in Mumbai organised by industry body
Assocham, Meghwal asked bankers to reduce their non-performing assets
and reach out to the "unreached" segment of India which does not get
access to loans.
"Banks should emphasise more on doing proper appraisal of loans before
offering to borrowers. If banks would have done proper appraisal then
NPAs would not have created," Meghwal said, adding that this will bring
revolution in the agriculture sector and leading to higher growth for
the country.
Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts, Meghwal added that the
GST (Goods and Services Tax) and digital transactions are "two most
important initiatives by the Modi government with the help of banking
sector"
