Answer: Option A. -> C. Rangarajan
The first blueprint for computerization in the Banking Industry was drawn up in 1983-84. A Committee was set up in 1983 under the chairmanship of Dr. C. Rangarajan, the then Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India, to look into the modalities of drawing a phased plan of mechanization in the Banking Industry, covering the period 1985-89.
