Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy Monday asked commercial banks to formulate a common policy for disbursement of education loans to students.

Speaking at the State Level Banker's Conference here, Chandy said presently banks were following different procedures for disbursing education loans.

The interest rate and re-payment conditions differ from banks to banks and even branches of same banks. This has created lot of problems for students to get loans, he said and asked banks to prepare comprehensive policy for education loans.

Expressing concern over attitude of banks in not coming forward to support state government rehabilitation package for returnees from strife-hit countries like Syria, Libya and Iraq, Chandy said only Canara Bank and Union Bank extended assistance.
