With the dawn of a new outlook for the people living in Jaffna after a three decade old civil war with normalcy restored HNB, with its innovative initiative of being in the forefront of activities has drawn up plans for a Jaffna Reawakening Week programme with the theme "Vanakkam Yalpanam" that will reinvigorate Jaffna a landscape with untapped resources with diverse agriculture vegetation exclusive to the Jaffna Peninsular..
The programme will take off on 22nd August and will end on 28th August 2009 which includes the culmination of the ceremonial opening of HNB’s latest addition to its customer centres at Point Pedro on 26th August 2009.
HNB has a strong presence in Jaffna since 1971. Over the years HNB has strengthened its operations in the Jaffna peninsula by opening five branches in the surrounding areas in Jaffna, Chunnakam, Nelliady, Stanley Road and Manipay. Our efforts in taking banking to the far flung areas of the Peninsula was because of the confidence and trust placed on HNB and we have built a cordial relationship which counts over three decades.
Since the student banking concept has occupied a prominent place in HNB the third day (24th August 2009) of this programme has been allocated for a student bank manager conference specially to rally the school children to be educated on the finer points to run a school banking unit and also to create awareness of the latest trends in savings mobilization. This opportunity will give HNB student managers in the peninsula to develop and improve their managerial skills and also interact with the fellow students representing various schools in the area.
