Karur Vysya Bank has donated to an integrated geriatric and palliative care facility in Visakhapatnam as part of its CSR project. Sneha Sandhiya Age Care Foundation has been granted Rs. 1.60 crores for the construction of a block to care for the elderly and terminally ill patients.
Shri B Ramesh Babu, MD & CEO of Karur Vysya Bank, presented the Trustees of Sneha Sandhya Age Care Foundation with a demand draft for Rs. 50 lakhs. This is the Foundation’s second instalment of funds. In March 2023, the first tranche of Rs. 24 lakhs was released.
“There are few institutions that offer shelter to senior citizens and seriously ill patients in times when they require all the care and comfort,” Shri Ramesh Babu said on the occasion. I am grateful that Sneha Sandhya Age Care Foundation provides this service. KVB is pleased to contribute to this worthy charity as part of its CSR strategy. I applaud the work of the Foundation’s trustees, doctors, and employees.”
