SBI creates record with 10,000 branches

PUDUVAYAL (Tamil Nadu), March 10: Government-run State Bank of India on Sunday achieved the distinction of becoming the second bank in the world to have 10,000 branches.

This feat was achieved by the SBI when Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram inaugurated its 10,000th branch in Puduvayal district of Tamil Nadu.

Speaking on the occasion, the Finance Minister reminded that China's ICBC Bank was the only other bank to have 10,000 branches. Stating that opening 10,000 branches was a great achievement, Chidambaram said, "It is not an easy milestone though the SBI was the bank of the government and Indian people even before other banks were nationalized.

In a lighter vein, the Finance Minister remarked that people all worldwide, including the Chinese, would now know about this small village where SBI has opened its 10000th branch. He said that they would be amazed by the bank's growth. According to Chidambaram, the 202-year-old bank should be pleased of the achievement and wished that the SBI opened one lakh branches.

Jokingly, Chidambaram said that the SBI chairman Omprakash Bhatt of the bank was indeed a more powerful man than him because he handled Rs nine lakh crore (business) whereas his (Finance Ministerâ€™s) budget was only for Rs eight lakh crore.

STATE BANK OF INDIA IS INDIAS LARGEST BANK

The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.

Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise India's economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in the relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic framework.
