Baramulla Central Cooperative Bank

Brief History: The BCCB was formed in 1920 AD before partition of the country as Central Coop. Financing Society with its area of operation District  Muzaffarabad and erstwhile District  Baramulla. The business of the Bank was mainly confined to the primary Coop. Credit Societies in the area of operation. After the commencement of its business the Bank received a set back  when major portion of its allotted area of operation with a good number of Village credit societies fell in the POK in 1947 and the individual promoters who had obtained shares of the Bank got also disassociated due to the partition. The Bank continued to fulfill its obligations with providing suitable credit support not only to neglected farming community but played key role in the distribution of essential commodities to far-flung areas like Uri, Gurez, Kernah and Machil through credit to the net work of Coop. Marketing societies functioning on the ground. The crash programme launched by the Agricultural department in the state to boost the agricultural production was another area of significance where the Bank arranged financial assistance for purchase and distribution of chemical fertilizers and high yielding variety seeds to the farmers through their Village Coop. Societies. Before nationalization of major commercial Banks and their subsequent entry in the Agricultural Sector, The Bank extended full credit support to weaker sections of the community under then marginal and small farmers development Agency sponsored  schemes. The whole programme was assigned to the Coop. Bank in the Baramulla and Kupwara Districts so far as financing of approved schemes was concerned. With diversification of credit to the industries and business sectors other than agriculture, it is the Bank's endeavor to implement all new schemes of financing of small scale and cottage industries especially in the Villages with financial and technical support extended by the NABARD.
