PUDUCHERRY: The State Bank of India’s Agricultural Development Branch, as part of its community services banking programme, donated personal computers, three tables, two cupboards, one water filter and 30 chairs to three institutions here on Sunday.

M. Rajendran, Regional Manager, Regional business office, SBI, said that by donating various items, the bank was contributing towards community development.

“The things that we have given today have been refurbished and are worth around Rs.50,000 totally. We have installed new motherboards and have given a one-year AMC for the PCs. We don’t want to throw them out since they will be useful to others,” said R. Balaveni, Branch manager, ADB.

The students of the Veeraveli Government Middle School received three tables, one cupboard, a PC and one cupboard. John Peter, a physically challenged person, who runs a tuition centre, was given 30 chairs and a cupboard. An old age home at Murungapakkam received a PC and a water filter.
