Canara Bank has associated with the Trust from the inception of the Institute called Deshpande-RUDESTI. The Bank at the beginning deputed its officer to head the Organization, which helped the Trust to aggressively promote Rural Development and Self Employment activities. The Trust was inclined to have a better association with the Bank and was pursuing with the Officials for continuous participation. As a Result Canara Bank has entered into a MOU on last 25th January 2008 with D-RUDSETI for sponsorship of the Institute in association with the Trust.
