Hyderabad: State Bank of India (SBI) organized a massive cyber fraud awareness drive across Telangana, during the weekend, marking one of the largest initiatives of its kind by India’s largest bank. The campaign was held at more than 40 public locations—including parks, metro stations, indoor stadiums, supermarkets, panchayat offices, schools, and pensioners’ associations—reaching citizens from all walks of life.

Leading the drive were General Manager Sateesh Kumar and Deputy General Manager Bipin K Singh, along with Regional Managers, Assistant General Managers and Branch Managers.

More than 1,000 SBI staff actively participated in the drive to educate the public about the rising threat of cyber fraud and the importance of safeguarding personal and financial information.
