The largest Urban Cooperative Bank of India-Saraswat Cooperative Bank has contributed one crore towards the Maharashtra Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for relief and rehabilitation of flood and rain-affected people in the state on Wednesday.
The cheque was personally handed over to the Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray by the bank’s Chairman Gautam Thakur. On the occasion, the bank’s Vice-Chairman Shashikant Sakhalkar, Senior Director Kishor Rangnekar, Chief General Manager Ajay Kumar Jain were present.
Sharing the news along with a photograph, the social media handle of the Bank wrote, ” Saraswat Bank contributes Rs. One Crore to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, Maharashtra, for all those affected by the recent floods in the Konkan and Western regions of Maharashtra”.
This is not the first time that the bank has generously contributed for the social cause, it had also pitched in one crore for the fight against the coronavirus last year.
Readers would recall that heavy rains last week caused massive floods and landslides in large parts of the state, especially in the coastal Konkan and Western Maharashtra regions.
