Adv. C. Srinivasan
  • Tenure/Life Period: Born April 4, 1952 – Present (Active Framework Leader)
  • Association and Role within Society or Entity: President of the Dindigul District Central Co-operative Bank and rural economic strategist.
  • Contributions to the Cooperative Sector: Operating across the hilly and semi-arid tracts of Dindigul district, Srinivasan championed the use of Joint Liability Groups (JLGs) to extend micro-credit to landless agricultural laborers and women's self-help groups. He designed a localized banking model that allowed poor flower-cultivators and vegetable growers to bypass commercial collateral rules. This framework enabled them to secure small-business capital solely through community credit guarantees, triggering a micro-enterprise boom across rural southern Tamil Nadu.
  • Awards and Recognitions: Recipient of the Tamil Nadu Government's Best Cooperative Banker Merit Citation in 2016 for driving financial inclusion among rural women.
