SBI Chennai Circle donates ₹79 lakh to Sankara Nethralaya for medical equipment to aid eye care.
The State Bank of India (SBI), Chennai Circle, recently donated ₹79 lakh to Sankara Nethralaya Medical Research Foundation to procure medical equipment for eye care.
Under their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity, SBI donated the amount to obtain a Carl Zeiss Clarus 700 Ultra widefield Fundus Camera with FFA to capture images of the inner parts of the eye, including retina, optic disc, macula, and posterior pole.
Challa Sreenivasulu Setty, Managing Director, SBI, handed over the cheque to T.S. Surendran, chairman, Sankara Nethralaya Medical Research Foundation, and K. Narayanan, treasurer, Sankara Nethralaya Medical Research Foundation.

All the key stakeholders met in Delhi on April 15 and discussed the issue threadbare. A flashy new second airport for the city could take at least a decade to be operationalised. But if the stakeholders decide, the existing HAL airport could be up and ready for flights in weeks. The big question: Will the State and Centre, Airports Authority of India (AAI), the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) and HAL reach a consensus to act?
