SRINAGAR, Aug 3: Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah this afternoon inaugurated pathway at Srinagar Airport developed and landscaped by Jammu and Kashmir Bank under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
The project involving Rs.2 crore has upgraded the ambiance and beauty of the road leading to the Airport.
The Chief Minister highlighted the need for expansion of Corporate Social Responsibility.
Commenting on the intervention in landscaping and maintaining the pathway at the Airport, Mushtaq Ahmad Chairman & Chief executive Officer, J&K Bank, said, “It was disheartening to see this poorly maintained pathway some a year ago, even as there was scope to develop and beautify this stretch with decorative flora and fana on both sides. We offered landscaping and maintenance support of this road to the Airport authorities and the result is before you.”
Meanwhile, the Chairman disclosed that the Bank is contemplating to expand its CSR programme in a big way in J&K. “Now that the scope of CSR policy has widened immensely we have also broadened our agenda for deeper impact in the societies we operate in,” he said.
“With a clear understanding of the social, economic and cultural geography of this region, our endeavour is to go beyond the narrative of philanthropic symbolism. This is being done by practically aligning the CSR policy with the Bank’s vision of peoples’ empowerment through servant leadership,” he said.
