PATNA: State Bank of India (SBI) took a new initiative by opening
accounts of 34 blind girl students of Antarjyoti Balika Vidyalaya,
Kumhrar, at its Nalanda Medical College branch on Tuesday. The step is
intended to empower the visually challenged children above the age of
10 years to have their own bank accounts at a very young age and to
join the mainstream of national life.
The main objective of this initiation is to make them realize the
self-dependence in them and to have banking habits from very early
age. SBI Mahila Samiti, Patna, has donated initial amount for opening
the accounts. Samiti president Aparna Jeevandas gave pass books to the
students. Rukman Agarwal, Meenu Chopra, Anita Raghvendra, AGM (PR)
Umesh Mishra, Chief Manager Gyaneshwar Sharma, NMCH branch manager
Bipin Kumar Singh were also present on the occasion. The teachers and
students expressed their gratitude for this noble cause.
