Established in 1974 in the memory of Rajmata Jijau, the mother of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Jijamata Mahila Sahakari Bank has been a symbol of empowerment, progress, and commitment to society for more than 50 years. The bank was founded by Smt. Malatibai Shirole (MLA) and Shri Madhavrao Shirole (IRS – Indian Revenue Service) to financially uplift economically weaker and women-led sections of society.
