RRBs were setup specially to cater to the basic banking needs of rural people, to enhance rural economy and development of the rural areas and to ensure the employment for the people from Rural sector. Alike Public Sector Banks, RRBs are established by GOI and are also the Scheduled Banks, since they work as per the rules of the Reserve Bank.[3][4]

Krishna Grameena Bank had 119 branches, out of which 94 were in rural areas and bagged Third Prize from National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development for fulfilling the guidelines of NABARD under SHG Bank Linkage Program in Karnataka state (2005/2006). Krishna Grameena Bank was one among the two Regional Rural Banks in India, picked by NABARD for execution of Pilot basis Smart Cards, where Micro-Processor Cards were used by members of SHG to check the account balances in their Savings bank account and to withdraw cash from their respective Savings bank accounts avoiding the intervention of the Bank staff or Rural Devel Officer.[5][6]

Krishna Grameena Bank was established with Head Office at Kalaburagi on 1 December 1978.[5][7]

It was merged with Pragathi Gramin Bank to form Pragathi Krishna Gramin Bank on 23 August 2013.[8][9][10]
