As part of the ‘Haryana Shehar Swachhata Abhiyan’, a cleanliness initiative in Haryana, the State Bank of India (SBI) has made a significant contribution to improve sanitation in the twin cities of Yamunanagar and Jagadhri. The bank donated dustbins worth over Rs 2 lakh to the Municipal Corporation, Yamunanagar-Jagadhri (MCYJ). This donation is part of SBI’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative to promote cleanliness and hygiene in the region.
The donation was handed over by Neeraj Bharti, General Manager of SBI’s Head Office in Chandigarh, to Municipal Commissioner Mahabir Parsad. Bharti emphasized the importance of proper waste disposal and encouraged residents to use the dustbins instead of throwing garbage in the open. The Municipal Commissioner expressed his gratitude to SBI officials for their generous gesture and urged other social organizations to follow suit.
The Municipal Corporation has installed dustbins in various public places, including markets and roadsides, to separate dry and wet waste. The new dustbins donated by SBI will be installed in the remaining areas of the twin cities. The Corporation has appealed to residents to cooperate in keeping the city clean and hygienic by using the dustbins and avoiding littering in public places.
The donation ceremony was attended by senior SBI officials, including Krishan Jain, Vivek Kumar, and managers of various branches. The initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the cleanliness and sanitation of Yamunanagar and Jagadhri, and sets an example for other organizations to contribute to the ‘Haryana Shehar Swachhata Abhiyan’. By promoting proper waste disposal and cleanliness, SBI’s donation is a significant step towards making the twin cities more beautiful, clean, and hygienic.
