Langpi Dehangi Rural Bank

Langpi Dehangi Rural Bank (LDRB) was an Indian regional rural bank established on 27 January 1982 under Section 3(1) of the Regional Rural Banks Act, 1976. It was created under the aegis of the State Bank of India and was headquartered in Diphu, the administrative headquarters of Karbi Anglong district in Assam. Its institutional purpose was to provide rural banking services within a geographically defined area rather than operate as a nationwide commercial bank. The bank's designated service area covered the districts of Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao in Assam. Within that territory, it operated as the sole independent regional rural bank identified for the two districts. Its branch network comprised 59 locations: 33 branches in Karbi Anglong district, 16 in West Karbi Anglong, and 10 in Dima Hasao. This distribution gave the bank a locally concentrated operating model focused on communities in the hill districts of central Assam. As a regional rural bank, LDRB's institutional role was connected to the wider Indian rural-banking framework established by the Regional Rural Banks Act. The available reference material identifies its legal basis, sponsorship by State Bank of India, headquarters, geographic mandate, and branch footprint, but does not provide sufficient information about individual products, deposit volumes, lending portfolios, management, financial performance, later mergers, or its current legal status. Consequently, the bank's historical significance can be described with confidence at the level of its creation and territorial banking role, while more detailed operational and corporate conclusions would require additional sources.

Langpi Dehangi Rural Bank was established on 27 January 1982 under Section 3(1) of India's Regional Rural Banks Act, 1976. The bank was formed under the aegis of the State Bank of India, placing it within the sponsored regional rural banking structure created to extend organized banking access beyond major urban and commercial centers. Its head office was located in Diphu, the district headquarters of Karbi Anglong in Assam. From that base, the bank's operating territory consisted of Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao districts. The available account describes it as the sole independent regional rural bank in those districts, giving it a distinct local role within the area's financial infrastructure. The bank developed a branch network of 59 locations. These included 33 branches in Karbi Anglong district, 16 branches in West Karbi Anglong, and 10 branches in Dima Hasao. The branch distribution indicates a highly regional operating model, with services concentrated in the hill districts for which the bank was established rather than spread across Assam or other Indian states. The available source material does not document the bank's product portfolio, leadership history, balance-sheet performance, ownership changes, mergers, or subsequent legal status. It therefore supports a history centered on the bank's statutory creation, State Bank of India sponsorship, headquarters, geographic mandate, and branch expansion. Whether the institution remained active, was amalgamated, or otherwise changed status after the period described cannot be established from the supplied references.
