Indian Overseas Bank Joins ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Saptah’ with Nationwide Pledge for a Drug-Free India

CHENNAI — In a strong stand against drug abuse, Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) observed the Nasha Mukt Bharat Saptah (17th–26th June) by organizing a nationwide pledge-taking ceremony to promote a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. The primary event at the Central Office in Chennai was led by Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer Shri Ajay Kumar Srivastava, alongside the Bank’s Executive Directors, senior officials, and staff members. Reaffirming this commitment across the nation, employees across all regional offices and branches of the bank simultaneously took the pledge to unite in the fight against drug addiction.

As part of its social responsibility to protect the youth and build a safer society, IOB turned this commitment into a public awareness campaign by sharing the initiative across all its official social media handles. Through this digital outreach, the bank aims to inspire citizens to join the national movement led by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan. By actively advocating for this cause, Indian Overseas Bank reinforces the vital health message: “No to Drugs, Yes to Life.”
