RBI Approves Name Change of The Kaira District Central Cooperative Bank LTD to the Kheda District Central Cooperative Bank Limited

The new name is an embodiment of Kheda’s deep historical and cultural significance, a district that played a key role in India’s cooperative movement and freedom struggle. Kheda is also the birthplace of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first Deputy Prime Minister, whose leadership shaped the nation’s cooperative framework. The transition pays homage to this heritage while strengthening the bank’s relevance within the community it serves.
