Chandigarh, Sept 23 (IBNS): ICICI Bank Limited, a private sector bank, organised 'Kisan Sampark Melas' across Punjab and Haryana last month as a part of its financial inclusion plan.

The Bank reached out to over 10,000 villagers through 350 Kisan Sampark Melas held in both states.

These Melas were conducted at various centres including Ambala, Hissar, Gohana, Jind, Shahbad, Tarori Mandi, Ahmedgarh, Ropar, Fazilka, Sirsa, Mansa, Nabha, Nawanshahar, Sangrur, Zirakpur, Faridkot, Gurdaspur, Kapurthala, Muktsar, Nakodar, Taran Taran, Fatehabad, Jhajjar and Kaithal.

The Bank conducts ‘Kisan Sampark Melas’ across the country to provide financial literacy to the people of unbanked areas. It uses comic books, audio-visual tools and group discussions as a medium to communicate with them.
