Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) serve as pivotal financial institutions in driving socio- economic
transformation, particularly in rural and underdeveloped regions. This bibliometric study explores the
role of RRBs in fostering financial inclusion, agricultural growth, poverty alleviation, and employment
generation in Northern Odisha by analyzing citation patterns, research trends, and scholarly
contributions in this domain. Key studies, including Das (2019), highlight the role of RRBs in
agricultural credit and rural development, while Patnaik & Mishra (2021) examine their contributions
to financial inclusion and poverty reduction. The efficiency of RRBs in empowering rural
entrepreneurs is further explored by Sharma et al. (2020), whereas Swain (2018) assesses policy
interventions influencing their operational effectiveness. Additionally, Mohanty & Sahoo (2022)
investigate digital banking adoption in rural Odisha, emphasizing the evolving role of RRBs in the
digital era. The study also incorporates insights from Nayak et al.
