          State Bank of India top management today announced the launch of a new CSR initiative. SBI Foundation – the CSR arm of State Bank of India is the implementation partner of this initiative.           The ultimate goal of SBI Gram Seva is to transform the adopted villages into model villages through adoption of digital tools.  Through digital infrastructure it is hoped that the villagers in adopted villages will be able to make complete use of various Government schemes. SBI will not directly fund any schemes; rather it will be an enabler for various government schemes.           In the coming days, complete details will be available on SBI foundation website.
