Yes Bank has become the first private sector player to enter into a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under its ‘Adopt a Green Highway’ program. Through this partnership, the Bank is committed to developing green corridors along Mumbai-Nashik-Pimpalgaon Highway.
In addition to being the first such greening project undertaken by the private sector, the partnership will also lead to enhancing livelihood opportunities along the highway. The ‘Adopt a Green Highway’ program is an initiative of The National Green Highways Mission (NGHM) under NHAI.
The signing of the MOU between Yes Bank and NHAI, which marks the first-of-its-kind collaboration between the private sector and NHAI-NGHM, was held at the National Convention on Innovations in Greening Highways on November 7, 2016, in the presence of Minister of State, Road Transport & Highways, Shipping, Chemical & Fertilizers, Government of India Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, and Shri Raghav Chandra, Chairman, NHAI.
