SRINAGAR, Aug 3: Providing quality education to our young generation is a great service to the nation and J&K Bank will continue collaborating with institutions like DPS for upgradation of educational infra-structure.
This was stated by J&K Bank MD and CEO Baldev Prakash during a function at DPS School Srinagar. He along with Pro Vice-Chairman of DPS Vijay Dhar jointly honoured Madiha Tariq and Fawaz Banday for securing first positions in recently declared CBSE results of class 12th and 10th, respectively for the session 2022-23 in presence of Bank’s General Manager Syed Rais Maqbool and Principal DPS Shafaq Afshan.
Baldev Prakash, who was the chief guest on the occasion, said that with a common aim to propagate culture of serving people for the betterment of their future, J&K Bank’s collaboration with major institutions like Delhi Public School (Srinagar) will reach to new heights in days to come.
“It fills my heart with pride that J&K Bank – the premier financial institution of J&K- has initially financed towards the creation of this great space of learning and innovation. A well-drilled financial literacy campaign is also being carried out to ensure students are made aware about the basics of banking and finance from an early age” he said.
On the occasion, MD & CEO was taken on a guided tour along his team to different facilities of DPS including Library, Sports Arena and Learning Research Centre – specially established for educating and equipping specially-abled children – wherein the visitors interacted with the students and the staff.
