We want to be active partners in a new India, connecting these bright students with the right opportunity at the right time. We believe that this partnership with FUEL will help rural youth build a better future for themselves and contribute to the development of the nation. As a socially responsible corporate citizen, in addition to providing world-class banking services, we would like to make a difference to the overall well-being of the local populace."
