Kheda (Gujarat) [India] : The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has officially approved the renaming of Kaira District Cooperative Bank to Kheda District Central Cooperative Bank Limited, effective 27 June 2025. This landmark approval has granted the bank's management committee and cooperative leaders their 37-year-long demand, thus marking an administrative, cultural, and emotional milestone of great significance for the people of Kheda. The new name is an embodiment of Kheda’s deep historical and cultural significance, a district that played a key role in India’s cooperative movement and freedom struggle. Kheda is also the birthplace of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first Deputy Prime Minister, whose leadership shaped the nation’s cooperative framework. The transition pays homage to this heritage while strengthening the bank’s relevance within the community it serves.
