Over the years, the role of Regional Rural Banks has assumed greater significance in view of the increased focus on the development of the agriculture sector and rural economy. Our Bank has fine-tuned its strategies to fulfil the role of a rural financial institution. The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is the most beautiful UT in the country, surrounded by the mighty Himalayas and many other lofty mountain ranges. The UT is blessed with deep valleys and numerous scenic spots, gardens and hill stations. Tourism is the backbone of economy for the Kashmir valley whereas pilgrimage tourism is boosting the economy of the Jammu region. The Population of Jammu and Kashmir according to the 2011 census stands at about 12 million, making it the 19th most populated state in India. The UT is located in the northern part of the country and forms the northern boundary of the country. The UT is spread over an area of about 2,22,236 sq. km. making it the 1st largest UT in the country in terms of area.
The density of population per sq. Km. is about 56 and fairly below the national average. This is mainly due to snow clad hills and mountain ranges in the majority part of the UT. The literacy rate in the UT is about 68%.The sex ratio in Jammu and Kashmir leaves a lot to be desired as it lags behind the national average by a huge gap.
Srinagar is the summer Capital and Jammu the winter Capital of the State. The languages spoken in the Jammu and Kashmir state includes Kashmiri, Dogri, Punjabi, Gojri, Pahari, Dardi, Shina, Shirazi, Balti , Baderwahi, Kishtwari, Bhoti and Paddri and Ladakhi. In total Jammu and Kashmir UT comprises of 20 districts. The UT comprises of two regions namely Jammu and Kashmir having distinct geographical outlook and agro climatic zones. Each zone having its own characteristics that largely determine the cropping pattern and productivity of crops. Paddy is the main crop of Kashmir, followed by maize, oilseeds, pulses, vegetables, fodder and wheat. In Jammu region, wheat is the prominent crop followed by maize, paddy, pulses, oilseeds, fodder, vegetables and other crops. UT also has the honour of being amongst the world's few places where quality saffron is cultivated. Pampore tehsil of district Pulwama, which is situated at a distance of 15 kilometres from Srinagar, is famous for its high grade saffron in the world. Saffron is also grown, though on a limited scale in Kishtwar district of Jammu region.
