context of their performance RRB as a whole. For the purpose of the study, we have considered all the branches ie, 58 branches particularly
for the analysis of profitability performance of MRB. The paper has (i) investigated the growth of profits of MRB in the context of RRBs as

the profitability of MRB, (iv) compared the profitability performance of banks with financial ratios in the context of RRBs as a whole, and (v)
