The first-of-its-kind initiative by the bank envisages meeting of the health, educational and nutritional needs of underprivileged children of the state. The initiative is supported by PNB MetLife. In the first phase, 40 villages in three districts – Srinagar, Budgam & Ganderbal would be covered under the initiative covering 5100 household and 9224 children. Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather launched the joint initiative of J&K Bank & PNB Metlife at a glittering function here today in presence of J&K Bank Chairman, Mushtaq Ahmad. Christopher Townsend, President Asia, MetLife Inc, Tarun Chugh, MD & CEO, PNB MetLife, Parvez Ahmad, Executive President, J&K Bank, Abdul Rauf Bhat, Senior President, J&K Bank and Puja Marwaha, CEO, Child Rights & You (CRY) were present. Notably, CRY would be the implementing agency of the projects. The two identified projects are with CRY - Child Rights and You, through project partners Jammu & Kashmir Association of Social Worker (JKASW) and KOSHISH. JKASW works across 1,823 households in the districts of Baramullah, Bandipora and Srinagar impacting 4,800 children. KOSHISH will work with 9200 children in 5100 households across 25 villages in the district of Budgam. In addition, 15 more villages are being evaluated for this programme. The Finance Minister speaking on the occasion was all praise for J&K Bank for its “crucial role to the financial security and development of individuals, families and societies at large in Jammu & Kashmir.” “During the last two decades, I think there must be very few success stories that could rival the meteoric rise of J&K Bank in the country. Throughout the state, 8 out of 10 success stories in businesses would have this bank at their back,” he said, and added that the bank has been at the forefront of socioeconomic upliftment of the people while pushing the limits of entrepreneurship and enterprise for a deeper and sustainable economic development. “The bank, he said, “plays a key role in providing indirect employment to considerable number of entrepreneurs.” Dev work not affected by delay in Plan: Government Srinagar, Aug 7: The Jammu and Kashmir government today said development activities in the state have not been affected due to delay in finalisation of Plan allocation by the Centre. "We have not let the development activities be affected by the delay in finalisation of the annual plan for the state," J&K Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather told reporters here. The state was using internal revenues and funds released by the Centre under various components to meet the expenses, he said. "Over the past few years we have been able to increase our revenues... The Centre is also releasing some funds under various components. The state is not facing any financial problems," Rather said, adding that he was hopeful of the state Plan being finalised soon. He said there was no truth in the claims that the state government was borrowing from the open market to meet its expenses. "We have borrowed some money from the market but it has been done with the concurrence of the Centre. We have borrowed according to the provisions of borrowing in the Plan," he added. PTI MIJ TA Mubashir Khan/GK “Going beyond its core business and profit-making, J&K Bank renders great service to the people of J&K through its growing CSR activities,” Rather said. The bank, he said, has been forthcoming in modernization of education by providing computer systems generously to various schools and trusts. “Likewise the bank has been financially taking care of education of scores of special children at various institutes across the state.” He said, “This bank has made all its share holders proud not only in the state but across the country. I wish these welfare projects under CSR reach all the poor and needy in the state as it means our collective welfare and success in the longer run.” Mushtaq Ahmad, Chairman & CEO, Jammu & Kashmir Bank said, “We are delighted to announce the launch of the CSR programme through this platform along with PNB MetLife, our bancassurance partner for last 13 years. United in spirit, today we jointly announce our programmes to work towards education and development of underprivileged children in J&K.” He added, “From matters of healthcare, heritage preservation to poverty alleviation, promotion of education to eco-conservation; our CSR policy has been to instill a sense of relief and protection among the most vulnerable sections of society. Now that the scope of such policy has widened immensely we have also broadened our CSR agenda for UNIVERSITY OF KASHMIR State Level Nodal Agency for Integrated Watershed Management Programme, Department of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Old Secretariat, Srinagar.
