DIBRUGARH: The State Bank of India (SBI), Dibrugarh branch is going to celebrate 100 years from May 1. Addressing a press conference, Anshuman Bordoloi, chief manager of Dibrugarh SBI branch said, “On the first day of May, a shrandhanjali programme in remembrance of departed employees will be organized. Blood donation camp and a free health check-up camp will be organized.”

“The dawn of May 1, 1923 ushered a new beginning in our country’s financial landscape with the establishment of first ever bank branch of Northeast India in the town of Dibrugarh, a place which is rich in natural resources as well as in culture. This historic event heralded a new era of development of banking industry in the region.Since then, this nascent institution with a modest beginning has tested the waters of change and went through many crests and troughs over a period of a century,” Bordoloi stated.

“Today State Bank of India, Dibrugarh branch stands as a prominent branch of India’s only fortune 500 bank. To commemorate 100 years of this historic day, the branch is arranging an unembellished function at district Library, Dibrugarh on May 1, 2023,” stated Anshuman Bordoloi.

He added, “Under our CSR programme, an amount of Rs. 9.75 lakh has been sanctioned for installation of solar lights at Dibrugarh Town Protection (DTP) Dyke. RG Baruah was the architect behind the opening of the Imperial Bank of India branch in Dibrugarh. In 1955, the Imperial Bank of India merged with State Bank of India.”

In May 1, 1923, the Imperial Bank of India was first open in Dibrugarh. It was the first bank of Northeast India. AN Cameran was the first manager of Imperial Bank of India, Dibrugarh branch.

“The Dibrugarh SBI branch will felicitate some of the former employees and eminent customers of our branch,” said Joydeep Saikia, Deputy Manager, SBI, Dibrugarh branch.
