People’s Bank celebrates 75 years of independence by offering gifts to newborns

People’s Bank celebrated Sri Lanka’s 75th national independence at a modest ceremony held at its head office, which was followed by a series of islandwide initiatives.People’s Bank’s Birth of Freedom programme, which commences on every Independence Day was carried out this year as well. Under this concept, People’s Bank gifts Rs.2,000 worth of an ‘Isuru Udana’ gift certificate to every baby born between February 01 and 14. 

People’s Bank launched this programme in 2006 with the vision of instilling national pride and encouraging parents to plan for their children’s future. Parents can open an Isuru Udana children’s savings account at any People’s Bank branch using the gift certificate.

People’s Bank Chairman Sujeewa Rajapakse and Acting Chief Executive Officer/General Manager Clive Fonseka symbolically presented Isuru Udana gift vouchers and other gifts at the Castle Street Maternity Hospital and De Soysa Hospital for Women in Borella.
In line with the above, all People’s Bank branches across the country initiated ‘Nidahase Upatha’ activities islandwide.
