3 girl children adopted by State Bank of India, Chedema

Observing the 54th Bank Day, the State Bank of India (SBI), Chedema Branch, located at D. Khel, Seikhazou, adopted three young girls, Khriezokuonuo Kire, Kelhoulenuo Kire and Ketoulhounuo Khezhie. The trio will be getting Rs.6000 each annually till Class X. A passbook each was handed over to them by Chief Secretary Lalthara at a function held at the branch office this afternoon. Expressing happiness to SBI for opening its 49th branch in Nagaland, Lalthara maintained that the SBI was doing a good job, and added that its community service was laudable.

Also attending the function, State Planning Board (SPB) deputy chairman, Neiba Kronu, acknowledged the SBI for rendering good service to the people of the state. Expressing regret that the banking habit was still very poor in Nagaland, he challenged the people to come forward and familiarise themselves with the bank, and added, “we have to start working with the bank.”

Earlier, the Chedema branch also felicitated Khriezovonuo Lhounyu for her valuable contribution in the field of journalism. There are around 150 girl children adopted by the SBI across the state. The idea behind the adoption of a girl child is to help the poor parents who cannot afford to pay the school fees of their children.
