Exploring the many nuances of the Swachch Bharat campaign, our Bank

launched Dhanchayat as part of its Swachch Banking campaign.

The educational film, launched on July 30, 2015 in Mumbai, aims to raise awareness on the dangers of borrowing money from unorganised sources. The video will be screened in special Dhanchayat video vans, the first of which was flagged off by our MD, Mr Aditya Puri and Mr Paresh Sukthankar, Deputy MD.

As part of Swachch Banking, which aims to raise awareness about clean and convenient banking, HDFC Bank-branded Dhanchayat video vans will

travel across the country, with the aim of covering 5,000 villages in Phase 1. Through the film, the vans will explain the importance of transparency in dealings as also the dignity and self-respect of the individual in the borrowing process.

The vans will stop at assembly points such as haats, bazaars, melas and village panchayats and encourage the local populace to join the organised banking sector in line with the government’s vision for

financial inclusion.

The vans will also have micro-ATMs with biometric facility fitted in them to enable instant e-KYC and Re-KYC using Aadhaar cards.

For a cause

EduBridge-QUEST Alliance builds careers

Nagsen Bhalerao, a BCom graduate, joined EduBridge for a Basic Retail course after resigning from his previous job.

Although he completed a three-year graduation programme, Nagsen was unsure about the career path he wanted. It was then that he got introduced to the EduBridge programme by his brother. Sceptical, he approached EduBridge, where he found his career.

Nagsen says, “I invested three years of my life doing graduation, had no direction when it came to jobs, had I known that a month’s training would change my life path, I would have taken it much earlier. I now recommend this course to all my friends.”

16 Our World | Vol IV Issue 7

All the latest CSR activities undertaken by our Bank and its volunteers across India

“The EduBridge training methodology is quite different from other training centres. They not only help to understand your shortcomings but also guide and train you on how to overcome them. The EduBridge experience was different, and I learnt a lot. EduBridge even provided me 6-7 interviews.”

“Jobs are not given, they are achieved. It’s your capabilities which need to be developed, your key area of interest if identified right, will enable you to face job challenges with ease. “My trainer, helped me identify that I am a people person. Now I work with Xerbia as a CSA and I am very happy. I earn `16,000, which is much more than I earned in my previous company and I’m more satisfied for sure.”

iLEAD empowers Yashoda Meena

Yashoda Meena, is from Meetha Ram ji Ka Khera village, Chittorgarh District in Rajasthan. Post marriage, unfavourable circumstances took

her family to Chittorgarh from the countryside. Living on the earnings of a daily wage labourer was making it next to impossible to make ends meet. Credits from various sources started mounting, which led Yashoda to start looking for a job to support the family. Unfortunately, lack of employable skills lead her nowhere.

This is when she came in contact with the Initiatives for Livelihood, Education and Development (iLEAD) faculties on a mobilisation drive. After the counselling from team iLEAD, she took admission in the Skilled Sewing Operator (garment construction) programme.

Along with regular sessions on trading, computer classes and also personality development, Yashoda felt a remarkable improvement in her personality and confidence. She completed the training, borrowed some money from her relatives and invested on a stitching machine and started to work from her home. Now she is able to earn `5000 per month and feels content that she is contributing to her family’s income.

I see today in this busy life, we all are running to live it rightTo make the most being on the go,

We forget the beauty that life has to show

Masked people all around, to fake it up we are so proudHonesty, integrity are mere words, we all fall prey to this corrupt world

Love is a word just to keep, emotions show up when in needHatred abuse all around, love is now, nowhere to be found

Laugher joy happiness and peace, Without these all we are never at easeHumans we acclaim ourselves to be, Let’s stop and ponder are really, WE!!

Life is more than money and fame, winning and losing happens in a gameGuess this world will be a better place

When we instill child-like qualities in our ways.

We have one life, let’s make the most, By spreading happiness wherever we go

Coz in the end we all should know, what we reap is what we sow.
