RBI to celebrate platinum jubilee

The Reserve Bank of India would celebrate its platinum jubilee in 2009 and 2010 through outreach programmes.

Regional Director of RBI (Eastern Region) F R Joseph said that the apex bank had chalked out programmes on a month-wise basis.

As a part of this, RBI would hold meetings with bankers and trade associations like Ficci, CII and Assocham, he told reporters here last night.

RBI would also organise financial literacy campaign in places like Pelling in Sikkim.

RBI started functioning since April 1935 in accordance with provisions of the Reserve Bank of India Act of that year.
