PNB and Guruvayoor Dewaswom have entered into an agreement to provide online VAZHIPADU booking through its internet banking services. Through this facility, a devotee can make offerings from anywhere by logging on to www.guruvyurdewaswom.org. Nineteen offerings that can be booked online are listed on it
Corporation Bank has opened the Alagappa University- Corporation Bank Public Library at Karaikudi in December 2008 even though the bank has no presence there.
Corporation Bank has also announced an yearly awarding of ‘Corp Bank Scholar’ gold medal for best outgoing student of Alagappa University every session.
State Bank of Travancore has activated an internet banking facility for online payment of donation to Guruvayoor Temple.
PNB has offered convenient schemes for rickshaw pullers by providing a means of self employment to the poor and deprived rickshaw pullers community. Under this scheme started at Varanasi rickshaw pullers can become owners of the vehicle after 3 years. Health and medical insurance cover is also provided. They are required to open a no frills account with PNB.
Under yet another scheme at Patna, rickshaws are given free of cost to the pullers while they pay a maintenance cost of Rs 10/- per day. They also sell water, soft drinks and other merchandise to the riders, profits from which are shared equally between the rickshaw pullers and a NGO. They are also given insurance cover, uniforms etc.
The TRAM campaign of Canara Bank involves contribution of Rs 10/- a month from all staff members which is meant to be distributed among the disabled and the sick. Every year around Rs 6 lacs is given to the needy people.
Canara Bank also has welfare activities for students. Every year around Rs 10 lacs is spent for primary education by giving note books, scholarships, uniforms and other educational aids to the poor meritorious students of government schools.
There would be heritage galleries at historical branches of State Bank of India shortly . These galleries would exhibit old furniture, letters and currency notes of earlier times including the accounts of Annie Besant, Motilal Nehru and others.
State Bank of Hyderabad has recently donated a pick up van as part of bank’s community service campaign, to Centre for Social Service. The van would be used for transport needs of girls for sending them to schools.
