He said this system was very productive for the agriculture field, which could take benefit of it, however urged the banks to extend their role and reach the farming community. He said the Islamic banks, coupled with a number of dedicated Islamic academic, legal, regulatory and supervisory institutions could provide a solid platform for future growth and development of the Islamic finance industry. He called up the Islamic banking institutions to enhance awareness about Islamic banking products and develop human resource by facilitating and arranging training workshops, short-term courses and particularly offering post graduate academic institutions.
