In 2026, Mahalaxmi Development Bank Limited has reinforced its commitment to the socio-economic development of Nepal through a robust portfolio of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
Mahalaxmi Bank CSR Programs
Guided by its slogan, “Strong Bank, Successful Collaboration,” the bank has strategically focused on environmental sustainability, healthcare, and financial literacy to create a long-term positive impact on the communities it serves. With a network of 103 branches serving over 850,000 customers, these initiatives demonstrate the bank’s role as a community-centric financial institution.
Tree Plantation for Environmental Sustainability
Recognizing the urgent need for climate action, Mahalaxmi Development Bank collaborated with the Lumbini World Peace Forum for a significant reforestation project under the “Ten Million Tree Plantation and संरक्षण Campaign”. On Earth Day, the bank provided financial support to plant 2,000 lemon saplings in Khaptad Chededaha Rural Municipality-1, Kada.
This environmental campaign is designed to achieve multiple goals:
- Green Cover Expansion: Increasing the local forest area to combat climate change.
- Food Security: Strengthening local food supplies through the plantation of fruit-bearing trees.
- Resource Utilization: Promoting the sustainable use of natural resources within the community.
- Employment Generation: Creating jobs in climate-vulnerable and remote regions to support the local economy.
Healthcare and Cancer Awareness Support
The bank has also prioritized public health by contributing to programs centered on cancer awareness, prevention, and early detection. A notable part of this initiative included handing over funds raised from the program to the cancer ward at Kanti Children’s Hospital, specifically targeting pediatric care and treatment support.
Financial Literacy and Global Money Week 2026
A major pillar of the bank’s CSR strategy is the promotion of financial education among the youth and financially excluded groups. During Global Money Week 2026, the bank organized a series of nationwide events to foster responsible financial behavior.

Security Awareness and Digital Safety
While expanding its community outreach, Mahalaxmi Development Bank remains highly proactive in protecting its customers from digital fraud. The bank has issued urgent “Scam Alerts” to warn the public about fraudulent social media surveys and KYC links that misuse the bank’s name and logo to steal sensitive data. Customers are strictly advised never to share their OTP PIN, passwords, card numbers, or CVV with anyone. This commitment to security complements their financial literacy goals by ensuring customers can navigate the 2083 BS digital economy safely.
