She asked banks to be an active partner to achieve the goals of ‘Swachh, Safety and Skill — the three pillars of the vision of Prosperous Puducherry’.
According to Bedi, banks can be part of the mission of prosperous Puducherry through various ways, including that of taking up Swachh challenges such as procuring desilting machines, personal safety gear, construction of community toilets, holding awareness campaigns and by lending a helping hand to traffic police in procuring CCTVs for road safety, speed detectors, masks/ fluorescent jackets/ white coats, umbrellas and gumboots.
Development Commissioner V. Candavelou said about Rs 10,000 crore was being held as deposit by banks and sought contribution to discharge their Corporate Social Responsibility towards ‘Prosperous Puducherry’.
