Healthcare & Hygiene

In line with Government of India’s National Health Mission, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and the SDGs; the Bank has geared up to work towards fostering behavioral change among communities to improve the prevailing Health and Hygiene situation in India. Lack of safe drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene has caused millions of preventable deaths each year – particularly among children. Since the values of cleanliness and hygiene are best inculcated in childhood, awareness programmes on healthcare and hygiene are conducted in schools. The programme focusses on schools as well as communities.

The core programs are

Community-led sanitation campaigns that promote hygienic conditions in rural areas through appropriate wastewater and sewage disposal

Construction of
toilets

Provision of clean
drinking water

Health camps, nutrition
programs, and vaccination drives

Conducting blood
donation drives
