It is also to find out if the programme has achieved its aims of promoting and cultivating the banking habits, mobilizing rural savings, provision of credit for small-scale ventures and creating employment opportunities in the rural communities. There is also the need for deliberate policy monetary authorities aimed at strengthening the banks and the use of cheques in rural areas instead of demanding for cash.
