The document discusses several schemes aimed at promoting social and inclusive banking in India. It describes the Lead Bank Scheme which designates a bank in each district to coordinate banking activities. It also outlines the Service Area Approach which allocates specific villages to banks and the Differential Rate of Interest Scheme which provides loans at lower rates to low-income groups. Furthermore, it discusses the priority sector lending mandate which requires banks to allocate a certain portion of lending to priority sectors like agriculture and micro/small enterprises. Lastly, it summarizes the Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme which facilitates microcredit to the poor through community savings groups.
