Every district in India has a Lead Bank — one bank responsible for coordinating all banking activity in the district. The Lead Bank convenes the District Level Credit Committee, prepares the Annual Credit Plan based on NABARD's Potential Linked Plans, monitors credit targets by sector and sub-sector, and reports to the State Level Bankers' Committee. This infrastructure — SLBCs, DLCCs, BLBCs — is the operational backbone of priority sector lending at the ground level.
204 notifications build and maintain this infrastructure, from the participation of MPs in review committees to the format of progress reports.
