Q33: Under the Lead Bank Scheme, in which Block Level Bankers’ Committee (BLBC) meetings is the District Development Manager (DDM) from the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) required to participate?
✅ Correct Answer: A
The correct answer is meetings in which the Block Credit Plan is finalized.
These managers can choose to attend regular committee meetings from time to time.
People representing the Panchayat Samitis must be invited every six months to share their thoughts on loan planning.
The Lead District Officer (LDO) of the Reserve Bank of India and the head office bosses of the banks are also allowed to attend meetings from time to time.
Other guests might include leaders of local self-help groups, money advice workers from Financial Literacy Centres, and the directors of Rural Self Employment Training Institutes.

🧠 Real-World Scenario:
Imagine the BLBC is having a routine check-up meeting in July. The NABARD DDM decides to skip it. Suddenly, in September, the BLBC meets again to officially finalize the entire year's Block Credit Plan.
According to the rules, they can skip the routine July meeting, but the NABARD DDM is strictly required to be at the September meeting. This means the agriculture expert must be in the room when the final loan numbers are locked in.
