The Hindu Business Line : Canara Bank women's branch at Pattom

Announcing this, a bank spokesman said that Princess Aswathi Tirunal Gouri Lakshmi Bayi would formally inaugurate the branch at a function to be presided over by Ms Padma Ramachandran, former chief secretary. The fully computerised branch will identify areas for financing women entrepreneurs and will cater to their requirements in an integrated manner. It will be managed by women staff.

Apart from regular banking functions, the branch will act as a centre for development for women offering facilities such as a small library, credit related counselling, guidance services and information about various schemes for women.

The success of the two other Mahila banking branches at Bangalore and Chennai prompted the bank to open the new branch, the spokesman said.
