KARNATAKA STATE COOPERATIVE URBAN BANKS FEREATION LTD #132,K H ROAD, BANGALORE-560 027 APPLICATION FOR GRANT OF RECOGNITION

UNDER SECTION 66 OF THE KARNATAKA STATE UNIVERSITY ACT 2000 PREAMBLE: Banking Services are in the fore front of this dynamic sector. UCBs/Cooperative Banks/Co-operative Societies constitute a sizable chunk within the banking industry with over 98000 units in India and more than 1,50,000 staff strength. Karnataka has more than 838 UCBs with a work force of over ten thousand with an annual turnover of Rs.12,000 core. UCBs are currently in a transitory stage and need to imbibe professionalism, to remain competitive and efficient. The banking sector is witnessing a major structural change and these co-operative banks are confronted with the new challenges. Upgrading the skills and competencies of the staff of UCBs is therefore a present day priority. It is necessary to facilitate the skill up gradation through a rigorous but flexible course module, keeping in mind that all those opting for the course would be the staff/members of the UCBs. We would like to introduce The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) (LPT) model provides for flexibility and helps choosing courses based on ones aptitude and interest. There would be greater leverage both for the teacher and the taught. The K H Patil Institute for Cooperation and Banking started by the Karnataka State Cooperative Urban Banks Federation, Bangalore is willing to operationalize such a model . The Karnataka State Co-operative Urban Banking Federation has already established collaboration with the University of Mysore for offering Certificate and Diploma Courses at present to its employees. The mandate of the federation is not only to bring in professionalism to meet the emerging challenges in Co-operative Banking sector but also to pioneer the human resource development efforts in the country. At present there is no institutional arrangement. The Federation in collaboration with the University of Mysore initiated this unique program which can be enlarged to other regions in the country. This is in tune with the philosophy and objectives of the UGC, NAAC etc, which have been emphasizing institutional/industrial partnership with the University. This comprehensive Advanced Diploma in Banking and Finance (ADBF) program shall be offered in collaboration with University of Mysore . 1.
