In accordance with the bank’s policy to nurture the primary education sector in the rural hard-to-reach areas, MTB launched a special campaign titled “Swapno Sarathi” in 2015. The campaign aims at motivating students (mainly female) with the motto “School-e jete durotto jeno badha na hoy” by providing them with bicycles with a view to facilitating their movement to and from school.
