  1. The Konkan region of Maharashtra as well as parts of Western Maharashtra saw severe devastation during monsoon, with heavy rainfall triggering landslides and flooding. The rains wreaked havoc in large parts of Raigad, Mahad, Khed, Chiplun, Sangameshwar, Ratnagiri, Kolhapur, Sangli and Satara resulting in loss of life and livelihood for people. The Bank handed over a cheque for Rupees One Crore to Shri Uddhavji Thackeray, then Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra as financial assistance to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, Maharashtra towards flood relief. This was a modest contribution by the Bank to help the State Government implement and execute various relief measures, and provide medical and financial assistance to the flood-affected.
