ICICI Volunteer Activity

Apart from our efforts towards educating children and raising awareness about the importance of education, we also take efforts towards educating our team about other important aspects of living such as health, mental well-being, and finance among others. The ICICI Volunteer activity was an initiative towards raising awareness among our staff members about banking and financial management. This activity was conducted with the School on Wheels staff from October to January, in four sessions with the participation of 120 staff members. The session was taken in two parts; PMC and PCMC and a total of four sessions were conducted. A session was taken by Mr. Manik in an easy-to-understand language in which he explained how one should start saving from his/her salary and how recurring is a good way of saving. He also explained how to open a bank account and gave information about the various departments in a bank. He further explained terms such as cheque book, passbook, ATM and the meaning of credit and debit. This information was very useful for our teachers and the session also helped them understand various financial schemes in the bank. Schemes like Janadhan and Sukanya were explained during the session, which proved to be very helpful for our staff. 4-5 of our team members have opted for the Sukanya scheme. We are grateful to the ICICI Volunteers team for educating our staff members about banking and finances.
