An eye camp organised by the HDFC Bank the specialised housing bank in Sri Lanka, was held recently at the Manining Market Complex in Pettah, Colombo.

An eye clinic followed by a contribution of spectacles was also held at the camp which was held by the HDFC as a social welfare service with the fullest patronage of the Colombo eye hospital.

Assistant General Manager (Sales promotions and Marketing) D.Vidana Pathirana at the HDFC said the necessity to hold an eye camp was due to the large number of people who lack resources and time to attend to their eye health.

Aiming the financial empowerment of the small scale business community in the Manin Market in Pettah, HDFC Bank launched a daily savings program Palm Top Banking.'

HDFC Bank hopes that the fruitful social changes developed as a result of such social welfare activities in return would also be an effective cause towards the credibility of the institution.
