These accounts again show that the people are being
taught the habit of regular banking.
THE WORK OF THE SOCIETY
The services rendered by the Society may be thus
summarised.
(i) It has made capital available to the people at a low
rate of interest.
(ii) It has diverted the people from the unproductive to
the productive use of loans.
(iii) It has, in some cases, removed the burden of debt
that checked the enterprise of the farmer, and increased
his earning capacity.
(iv) By its policy of vigilant recovery it has taught the
people the habit of regular banking.
(v) It has also enabled a few members to realise the
advantages of deposit-banking and thus cultivate the
habit of thrift.
* In both these cases payments of interest are ignored for the sake of
simplicity.
