There were some problems while I conducting the orientation program, a whole hearted effort was applied to conduct the orientation program and to bring a reliable and fruitful result, in spite of having the whole hearted effort, there exit some limitation which acted as a barrier to conduct the program. The limitations were…

Three months time is not enough for such an extensive study. It is very difficult to collect all the required information in such a short period.
Due to some legal obligation and business secrecy banks reluctant to provided data. For this reason, the study limits only on the available Published data and certain degree formal and informal and informal interview.
The Bankers are very busy with their jobs, which lead me little time to consult with.
Lack of experience.
Learning all the banking function about credit within just two and half months was really tough.
Another limitation of this report is banks policy of not disclosing some data and information for obvious reason, which could be very much useful.
