During the month, 14 In-Campus training programmes were conducted with 340 participants. This includes 2 Orientation Programmes conducted for the new DDMs with 38 participants. The average participation worked out to 24.3. With this, the total number of In-Campus programmes conducted during the year 2006-07 stood at 52 with a participation of 1272 (Average 24.5) as against 55 programmes with 1173 participants (average 21.3 per programme) during the corresponding period of the last year.

Infrastructure and faculty support was extended to SIDBI for conducting a training programme for its officers on micro-finance during 25 to 29 July 2006. Similarly, UCO Bank would be conducting a training programme for its newly recruited officers in August 2006 utilising our infrastructure. BIRD would be providing faculty support for agricultural related topics.

As a result of our efforts to increase the participation of commercial banks, we have received a request from Union Bank of India for conducting customised training programmes on Agriculture Financing to Rural Branch Managers in BIRD. We are proposing to conduct 4 programmes during the month of August-September 2006 to be attended by 150 participants.
