Sri Rameshatti Patil
  • Life Period: Late 1930s – 2014
  • Region: Belagavi district
  • Role: President of the Belagavi District Central Co-operative Bank (BDCC Bank).
  • Core Contributions: A fierce defender of agricultural credit rights. He restructured BDCC Bank's short-term credit allocation matrix by launching an integrated "Single Window System." This allowed local cultivators to apply for and receive subsidized fertilizers, high-yield seeds, and cash credit within a single working day, preventing distress land sales and cutting out exploitative unorganized moneylenders.
  • Recognitions: Posthumously honored with the regional Sahakarita Excellence Medal during the centenary celebrations of district cooperative banking.
