SBI Gram Seva project completes one year of interventions in Jharkhand villages

The interventions were completed across five villages—Kauriya, Chukru, Ganke, Dhamdhamwa, and Karma—in Medninagar Sadar Block of Palamu District, Jharkhand.

The SBI Gram Seva Project, supported by SBI Foundation and implemented by AIDENT Social Welfare Organisation, has successfully completed one year of impactful interventions across five villages—Kauriya, Chukru, Ganke, Dhamdhamwa, and Karma—in Medninagar Sadar Block of Palamu District, Jharkhand.

The first year of the SBI Gram Seva Project demonstrates significant advancements in rural living standards, focusing on education, health, and environmental sustainability.

Over the past year, the project has significantly improved access to education, healthcare, sanitation, agriculture, digital services, women’s empowerment, and youth development. More than 5,000 villagers have benefited from services provided through the Gram Seva Kendra, which offers Aadhaar, PAN, banking, and government scheme-related services.

A major educational achievement has been the transformation of Teliyabadh High School into a Model School, equipped with smart classrooms, a computer lab, science laboratory, girls’ common room, and open gym. Remedial education support is also being provided across all five villages.

Healthcare services have reached over 2,500 villagers through the SBI Sanjeevani mobile medical unit, while SBI Shalihotra Express has strengthened livestock healthcare through veterinary services and artificial insemination support.

The project has also empowered 56 women through tailoring training at the Prerna Centre, distributed bicycles to girl students, provided self-defence training, supported farmers with agricultural equipment and seeds, and established the Birsa Munda Youth Training Center to prepare rural youth for defence and police recruitment examinations.

In addition, clean drinking water facilities, watershed development initiatives, and door-to-door waste collection services have contributed to improved living conditions and environmental sustainability across the project villages.

The successful completion of the first year highlights the transformative impact of collaborative rural development efforts. SBI Foundation and AIDENT Social Welfare Organisation remain committed to further strengthening opportunities and improving the quality of life for rural communities in the years ahead.
