CSR 2015-16

The Bank absorbed as an employee, Mrs. Kalpana Valanju, widow of brave-heart Ramesh Valanju as a part of its CSR activity. Late Shri Valanju had lost his life while rescuing two college students who were drowning in the sea off Bandstand, Bandra.
The Bank associated itself with NAAM Foundation, a non-governmental organization (NGO) started by renowned actors, Nana Patekar and Makarand Anaspure in September 2015 in response to the devastation and destruction suffered by farmers in the drought-affected areas in Marathwada and Vidarbha regions of Maharashtra.
The NAAM Foundation extends a helping hand to the families of such distressed farmers. The Foundation also adopts villages, sets up local self-help groups, helps them in creating water conservation projects, planting trees, building clean toilets for women, reconstructing local schools, creating a clean environment, empowering the local women by getting them to participate in the local administration and creating model villages that can be replicated. The Bank donated an amount of Rs. 50 lakhs to NAAM to support their drought related efforts. The Bank also donated Rs. 50 lakhs to the Chief Minister’s Drought Relief Fund, Maharashtra.
