The prime objective of the commencement of Vijay Bank was to work for the less fortunate members of the community by enhancing their economic enterprises and create ample funds for providing financial aid to all deserving members, especially self-employed women. Thus, inspired by lofty ideas, Vijay Co-operative Bank was brought into existence for the betterment of economically backward members of the community. With a modest beginning having only 91 members, Vijay Bank has grown like a banyan tree spreading immensely. After 50 years of smooth functioning, the bank has now 28590 members associated with it.
