Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kamath said that PNB has woven CSR into the fabric of PNB. Our people lead by example showing that good corporate citizenship is about more than money. The Bank had organized 25 such camps during the year 2009-10 also. The camp organized at HO, last year, had collected a record number of 230 units of blood which must have saved an equal number of lives. Besides these, some other initiatives of PNB towards CSR include Medical Check Up Camps, Tree Plantation Camps, Distribution of Artificial Limbs, Career Guidance Camps besides Skill Up-gradation of Rural Poor including women and youth.
