NDB ‘Ithuru Karana Maga’ helps master saving skill

Saving – an adjective – means preventing waste of a particular resource. Resources such as time, money, water, food and fuel all contribute towards the well-being of an individual as well as the world we live in. Although preventing the waste of these resources should be a priority worldwide, it is rarely done.

Identifying the need to implement savings on a national level, NDB recently reintroduced ‘Ithuru Karana Maga’ – an initiative that stresses the importance of saving not just money but other resources as well.

Ithuru Karana Maga, which was initially launched in 2011 as a national level savings initiative to inculcate the savings habit amongst people, has been reborn with a brand-new face – learn the skill of saving and excel in life.

It teaches the skill of savings as a philosophical journey that can be learned with time, practice and persistence.

The act of saving is not strictly financial because it means the preventing the excessive consumption and managing waste of any resources including water, food, time, fuel and electricity. Furthermore, Ithuru Karana Maga also stresses the fact that financial stability within the creation of good savings habits is crucial to the emotional well-being of a person or family. Through NDB’S various savings accounts, Ithuru Karana Maga will assist a customer to master the subject of savings.

With financial stability created through a healthy savings habit, Sri Lanka can also help save the environment by saving its resources.

NDB becomes the only bank to take steps to teach the skill of saving all resources including time and money. While all banks discuss the importance of saving, NDB has provided a special savings coach - available at every branch - to assist individuals to master the skill of saving in their daily lives.

NDB Ithuru Karana Maga teaches the importance of savings whilst guiding people to develop the skill and the mindset required to learn savings as a subject in life.
