Banks that made remark in the nation building

       Tulunadu has made a significant contribution in nation building. Mangalore has grown not only into the field of education, business and industries but also banking system. Great men like Mulki Sundaram Shetty, Shri. Attavar Balakrishna Shetty and T. M. A. Pai were couple of giants among Tuluvas who had a vision for the society they lived in. History is not planned and created but rather it is a simple idea put in action when our society is in need. 
                                                   

                                         
    Today what we consider Padma Bhushan as a great honor for K V Kamath is because of that simple idea which was born out of a need. And this will be the history or ‘His-story’ of tomorrow. Likewise Dakshina Kannada was blessed with variety of people with different caliber. Mangalore holds a prominent place in the Indian map or history because of its contribution to the larger society. In making what is Mangalore today Tulunadu played a vital role by giving birth to some visionary leaders. 
       One of the fine works that is witnessed by all is the banking service. Vijya Bank was that which was established in the year 1931 by Shri. BalaKrishna Shetty had a noble cause of building banking habits and entrepreneurial life-style among the farmers. This noble cause led to making ‘Vijaya Bank’ a nationalized. This was one of the biggest contributions one can ever make to the society. Another important bank that made an unforgettable contribution to nation building is 'Syndicate Bank' which was nationalized in 1969. The great cause for which it was created is to assist financially to local weavers. Thus Tulunadu has played a role in making Mangalore a unique place and also contributing to India in a bigger level.
