Mumbai : True to its vision and mission to support the country in fighting with adverse situations, State Bank of India (SBI) has allocated Rs. 71 Crore, to undertake various support initiatives to help the country combat the second wave of COVID-19. The Bank has dedicated Rs. 30 Crore to setup 1,000 bed makeshift hospitals, 250 bed ICU facilities and 1,000 bed isolation facilities across some of the worst-hit states. These facilities would be set up in collaboration with government hospitals and Municipal Corporations of the respective cities.

I urge everyone to offer their support in any form to the people in need and contribute towards making the country COVID-19 free.”
