Yes Bank creates awareness on Road Safety through Say Yes to Road Safety Campaign

Chandigarh, March 13, 2015: Yes Bank through its Yes Community platform engaged with over 75,000 individual span-India, with the objective to highlight and emphasise the need for safe roads by engaging all stakeholders by taking up activities to promote the concept. The participants then took up pledges on ensuring responsible behavior on road by becoming responsible citizens. The campaign was launched during the 26th National Road Safety Week held in January.

Rana Kapoor, Managing Director and CEO, Yes Bank said “The Yes Community programme is our pivotal social engagement program through which Yes Bank endeavours to make a meaningful contribution to the needs of the local community that we are a part of. These span diverse areas such as Education, Women Empowerment, Health & Wellness and Senior Citizen welfare as well as social financial stability & literacy programmes.
