Government has informed Parliament that NABARD will move nearly a score of district development managers to poverty-stricken areas and set up several new branches in areas that are affected by ultra-leftism.
NABARD will also cover areas where women self-help groups are at work, Parliament was told.
According to Union Finance Minister, there would be more than 4 hundred DDM offices and NABARD would cover altogether 510 districts in the country.
Sources say most of the new DDM offices would be opened in the peripheral states of the country.
