Abhudaya Co-operative Bank Ghatkopar West Mumbai

A dedicated group of social workers and labour movement activists, imbued with the spirit of service to the cause of mill workers, other industrial and hitherto neglected economically weaker sections of society started Abhyudaya Co-op. Credit Society Ltd. in 1964, with a small share capital of Rs. 5,000. The area of Kalachowki, Sewri, Parel and their surroundings were predominantly populated by low income industrial labour and lower middle class people at that time. In a short period of time Abhyudaya Co-op. Credit Society got converted into an Urban Co-op. Bank. Finally in June 1965, Abhyudaya Co-op. Bank Ltd. was established with the motto of "Prosperity through Co-operation".
