Gonda: Leading nationalised lender Indian Bank successfully organised a National Lok Adalat under a unique ‘Green Theme’ at its regional office in Gonda, combining financial settlement efforts with a message of environmental conservation.
The initiative was undertaken on the guidance of Sudhir Gupta, Chief General Manager of the bank’s regional office in Lucknow, and was led locally by Gonda Regional Head Rajesh Badoria. To highlight the theme of environmental protection, all participating bank officials wore green T-shirts during the proceedings.
Addressing the gathering, Rajesh Badoria said that while the bank remains committed to fulfilling its commercial responsibilities, it is equally dedicated to social obligations. “Through this initiative we aim to spread awareness about protecting the environment while helping farmers and borrowers settle their loans, bringing financial relief and prosperity to their lives,” he said.
According to bank officials, a total of 308 loan accounts from 83 branches under the Gonda region were settled during the Lok Adalat, resulting in the adjustment of loans worth ₹3.74 crore. The settlements were aimed at helping borrowers clear outstanding dues and move towards financial stability.
As part of the green initiative, tree plantation activities were also carried out in Gonda and Balrampur, reinforcing the message of environmental protection alongside financial resolution.
Among those present on the occasion were Deputy Regional Head Sandeep Kumar, Chief Managers Arun Kumar, Amar Singh Maurya, Alok Kumar and Ashish Kumar Singh, along with Lead District Manager Vinod Kumar Tiwari and Om Prakash Mishra. Branch managers from both Gonda and Balrampur districts also participated in the programme, contributing to the success of the initiative.
