These span diverse areas such as Education, Women Empowerment, Health & Wellness and Senior Citizen welfare as well as social financial stability & literacy programmes.
The YES Community program also promotes a sense of responsibility and awareness amongst over 10,000 YES BANK employees.

Speaking about the campaign, Ms Namita Vikas, Senior President and Country Head, Responsible Banking, YES BANK said “Road safety largely contributes to accelerated tourism and economic growth for the State. It is an issue of social welfare as accidents not only result in loss of life but impacts the entire family’s livelihood, lifestyle, education and mental well being.
For us at YES BANK, safety is an important aspect of community development and through unique platforms like YES Community; we continue to sensitize locals on responsible and safe behavior”
