💨 Abstract

After decades of left-wing extremism, Jagargunda in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district has seen its first formal banking services established, with the Indian Overseas Bank's branch opened in a building previously targeted by Naxals. This move, led by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, aims to improve financial access for over 14,000 people across 12 villages and aligns with broader efforts to integrate the region into national development frameworks.
