WHEN YOU CARE, THEY ALSO CARE

Moments from citizenship orientation programme for subordinate staff from State Bank of Indore


Help arrives to the needy in strange ways, which fortifies the existence of an all caring, omniscient Supreme power we call God.

A poor, pregnant lonely woman selling firewood gave birth to a baby one fine morning in the year 1986, in front of the house of Mr. Madhav Singh Bhavar, Messenger at Manavar Branch of State Bank of Indore .

She had no one to call her own or for help. She bore the pain of delivery, without any assistance or medication. Seeing her plight, Madhav asked his wife to immediately provide her some hot water to clean herself and her newborn baby, as he rushed to his branch to report for duty. The branch staff voluntarily contributed a small amount for the help of the poor woman. 

Half way through, he suddenly realised she must be hungry also and rushed back home to tell his wife to give her tea and some snacks.

His wife took great care of her, by helping her to take a bath, covering the newborn with a fresh piece of cloth after cleaning it up and providing tea and food to her. The poor woman gratefully bid goodbye to the kind family that afternoon.

Soon afterwards, Madhav had been on a deposit mobilizing spree when he met a woman, who recognized him instantly. She helped him recollect the much needed help he had provided to the poor woman, who delivered a baby at his doorstep. Madhav was happy to see the baby healthy and happy. After exchanging pleasantries and the cause of his visit to the village, Madhav left for home.

The next day the woman was seen in the branch with a man from her village who gave an amount of Rs Four lacs to Madhav to be deposited in the bank. With this deposit Madhav’s target for deposits for the period was achieved.
