SBI Chennai Circle donates ₹79 lakh to Sankara Nethralaya for medical equipment to aid eye care.
The State Bank of India (SBI), Chennai Circle, recently donated ₹79 lakh to Sankara Nethralaya Medical Research Foundation to procure medical equipment for eye care.
Under their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity, SBI donated the amount to obtain a Carl Zeiss Clarus 700 Ultra widefield Fundus Camera with FFA to capture images of the inner parts of the eye, including retina, optic disc, macula, and posterior pole.
Challa Sreenivasulu Setty, Managing Director, SBI, handed over the cheque to T.S. Surendran, chairman, Sankara Nethralaya Medical Research Foundation, and K. Narayanan, treasurer, Sankara Nethralaya Medical Research Foundation.
When Kaleeshabi Mahaboob, Padma Shri awardee and the first Indian Muslim woman to perform nadaswaram on stage, says she almost gave up music once to take up tailoring, it feels unbelievable. Because what the world stood to lose had that happened was a divine experience. On stage, flanked by her husband Sheik Mahaboob Subhani (also a Padma Shri recipient) and her son Firose Babu, Kaleeshabi with her nadaswaram is a force to reckon.
