Bank of Maharashtra Bankers Celebrates 91st Foundation Day with 41st Annual Blood Donation Camp

On 16th September 2025, bankers of Bank of Maharashtra (BoM) observed its 91st Foundation Day at the Head Office premises, Jog Hall, Lokmangal, Pune. The occasion was marked by a Blood Donation Camp organised through Mahabank Kala va Krida Mandal — a cultural and welfare club formed by Bank of Maharashtra Officers’ Organisation (BOMOO), Bank of Maharashtra Karmachari Sangh (BOMKS), Bank of Maharashtra Employees’ Credit Co-operative Society (BOMKCCS), and Bank of Maharashtra Retired Employees’ Welfare Organisation (BOMREWO). This initiative has been conducted continuously for 41 years as a tribute to the founders of the bank.
