UMEED 1000, a 1000-km cyclothon, was launched by RBL Bank as a CSR initiative in 2014, as part of which they have been supporting Udbhav School since then.

This year RBL Bank is supporting the IIMAAA Hyd Chapter Charitable Trust to build and support another underprivileged school in Fathehnagar that has been catering to the education needs of students coming from urban slums in the vicinity.

From November 30-December 10, the UMEED 1000 team will ride from Mumbai to Bangalore to raise awareness and funds for a new school with focus on girl child education.

And this is where you come in, by opening up your heart and wallet.
