Bandhan Bank is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a series of ambitious CSR initiatives targeting healthcare, education, and the environment. The Bank plans to plant 1 lakh trees across 10 states, donate 10 fully equipped ambulances, and support the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission in establishing the Sister Nivedita Heritage Museum & Knowledge Centre in Kolkata.
The large-scale plantation drive will span states including Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh, combining agroforestry and social forestry techniques to enhance climate resilience, biodiversity, and community livelihoods. The Bank’s collaboration with the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission aims to empower women through education and skill development, reflecting its commitment to social upliftment.
The 10 ambulances will be distributed across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Gujarat, West Bengal, Odisha, Telangana, Punjab, and Delhi, to improve emergency medical access in underserved and remote areas. Agartala has welcomed Bandhan Bank’s initiatives, noting potential long-term benefits for healthcare infrastructure and environmental sustainability. Local businesses and communities anticipate increased engagement with tree plantation programs and enhanced accessibility to medical services. Partha Pratim Sengupta, MD & CEO of Bandhan Bank, said, “As we complete a decade, our focus remains on healthcare, education, and sustainability. We aim to create lasting impact and drive inclusive growth, particularly for women and rural communities.”
