By donating state-of-the-art hearing aids, prostheses and mobility devices, SBI - a leader in driving financial inclusion in India - enabled some of the most disadvantaged citizens with a disability, to take a big step towards becoming participants in a more inclusive India."Senior officials from SBI, namely Swaminathan J, Managing Director (CB & Subsidiaries); SBI, Amitava Chatterjee, Managing Director & CEO, SBICAPS; and Ravi Ranjan - President & COO, were in attendance.Maj Gen Deepak Naidu, COO, APD; Jacob Kurian, Secretary, APD; and Pradeep Kumar Panja, Trustee, APD graced the function along with 200 guests including APD members, livelihood coaches, and trainers.Ganga, a peer trainer with a spinal cord injury who counsels others like her at APD, said, "By providing me with customised callipers and a wheelchair, APD has helped me be a contributing member of my family and community."The Association of People with Disability has been successful in producing nearly 5000 assistive products last year in Karnataka alone.
