1. What is Bank Nationalization?

• Bank Nationalization means that the government took control of private banks, making them government-owned.

• In 1969, the Indian government took control of 14 big private banks to make sure they helped everyone, especially poor people and those living in villages.

2. Why Did the Government Nationalize Banks?

• To Make Banking Accessible: Before nationalization, most banks were in cities, and poor people or people living in villages couldn’t easily use them. The government wanted to change this.

• To Give Loans to Farmers: Private banks were not giving loans to farmers and small businesses, so the government wanted to help them get money for crops and businesses.

• To Make the Economy Fairer: The government wanted to make sure that everyone—not just the rich—could use the bank and get loans.

• To Help the Country Grow: The government needed banks to help with its development projects like building roads, improving farms, and creating jobs.
