The genesis of Lead Bank Scheme can be traced to the Study Group, headed by Prof. D. R. Gadgil (Gadgil Study Group) on the Organisational Framework for the Implementation of the Social Objectives, which submitted its report in October 1969. The Study Group drew attention to the fact that commercial banks did not have adequate presence in rural areas and also lacked the required rural orientation. As a result, the banking needs of the rural areas in general and the backward regions in particular, could not be adequately taken care of by the commercial banks and the credit needs of rural sector of the economy, particularly agriculture, small-scale industry and services sectors remained virtually neglected. The Study Group, therefore, recommended the adoption of an 'Area Approach' to evolve plans and programmes for the development of an adequate banking and credit structure in the rural areas.

The Area approach was based on the philosophy of development of banking and credit in the rural areas based on the socio-economic dynamics as well the needs of the local area. It was also suggested that specific districts be earmarked to specific banks so that they could act as lead bank to facilitate the change of providing integrated banking facilities in rural areas. Under the chairmanship of Shri F.K.F Nariman the committee of bankers set up in 1969 appreciated the logic of Area approach in rural credit delivery. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) accepted the concept and Lead Bank Scheme was formulated in December, 1969. Each district in the country was assigned to specific bank and the identified bank was made a consortium leader in the process of strengthening delivery of credit in the district. The basic philosophy of the scheme was not to provide monopoly to the Lead Bank in the district. Instead the Lead Bank was to act as the leader, coordinating the efforts of all the credit delivery institutions to increase the outreach and extend banking facilities in the unbanked areas.

1-4-1990 Central Bank of India started a well established Lead District Manager office in Jhalawar it is working at Mini Sectrtitate Jhalawar. Presently Lead District Manager of Jhalawar is Mr. B.S. Rathore
