As a part of this plan it would also double the number of its branches in Sikkim to 18. The announcement was made by Mr. Aditya Puri Managing Director HDFC Bank at a press conference in Gangtok Sikkim. HDFC Bank started its journey in the Northeast in 2004 and has grown rapidly since then. As of December 31 2018 the bank network in the region comprised 126 branches and 203 ATMs. Over half of these are in the semi-urban and rural areas and the focus of the new branch expansion will also be in these locations.The bank network will get a further boost from the 650 Common Service Centres CSCs to be set up in the region by the Government of India. The CSCs run by village-level entrepreneurs help will bridge the last-mile connectivity in making banking products and services available to rural India and help take banking to the unbanked.

We believe in making an impact to lakhs of people here not just by offering our full-suite of products and services but also by creating a positive change in the communities in which we operate said Mr. Puri.Parivartan which means change reflects our approach to be a catalyst for sustainable change. I am happy to share through our social initiatives we have impacted the lives of close to 10 lakh of people in Northeast. Going forward we hope to continue to partner with the people of Northeast in their overall development and progress Mr. Puri added.
