Giving a new lease of life to young ones at Udbhav School in Hyderabad, RBL Bank has been catalysing growth and reducing social inequalities

I nnocent smiles and cheerful shouts reverberate in the air. It is lunch time and the children are eagerly waiting for their mid-day meal. For these little ones, every morning at Udbhav School is a step closer to their dream—of getting the best education that will enable them to have a happier life. Their smiles, innocence and hope are contagious. “Udbhav School is an initiative to create a model school system,” explains T. Muralidharan, founder and chairman, TMI Group. A graduate from IIT Madras and an IIM Ahmedabad alumnus, he is actively involved in the two Udbhav schools in Hyderabad—one at Fatehnagar and the other at Rasoolpura. The Fatehnagar branch has been adopted by RBL Bank (as the board at the entrance says) and is known as Udbhav RBL School and the Rasoolpura one gets voluntary support from RBL Bank and is a standalone Udbhav institution. These schools are managed by IIM Ahmedabad Alumni Association of Hyderabad (IIMAAAH) and educate around 1,000 children from the nearby slums.

Bridging gaps for sustainable livelihood, ICICI Foundation is working on creating value chains with end-to-end solutions

I t is one thing to farm on well-ploughed land—for a bank, that would mean to create, handle, channel and secure wealth in the already well-watered segments of society. But as we see with the world and India’s ongoing struggles to balance ‘lives’ and ‘livelihoods’ in the context of Covid-19, no social pyramid can be healthy and stable unless the very base is strong. That is why the ICICI Group, in its 65-year-long journey in nation-building, sees its responsibility as extending way beyond its traditional domain. Helping to mainstream the less-served India—the vast tracts of rural India from which our cities draw their glitter—is a key ambition for us. It is to take this legacy forward that we formed the ICICI Foundation in 2008.
