Laxmi Bank lights up Bagmati Bridge

As a part of its social campaign titled ‘Ujyalo Abhiyaan’, Laxmi Bank installed solar street lights at Bagmati Bridge in Thapathali and Saint Xavier’s School in Godavari. This was officially announced on 12 June 2011 and is a part of the bank’s annual fund raising campaign initiated by a Mountain Bike Rally. The campaign is a part of ‘Laxmi Cares’—an NGO formed and run by employees of Laxmi Bank. ‘Ujyalo Abhiyaan’ aims to light up one public space each year and has already installed such street solar lights to places like Patan Durbar Square, Three Star Club office and Mangal Bazaar Police Station. Mountain Bike rally for this year fund raising was held in April along the distance from Patan Durbar Square to Saint Xavier’s in Godavari (a 14km ride with 300 cyclists).
