CBJEF - Promoted By Canara Bank

The Canara Bank Jubilee Education Fund [CBJEF] was set up by Canara Bank in the year 1956 (became a Regd. Society on 11th April, 1956) with the noble objective of spreading education and enlightenment. It was the first institutional framework envisaged by the then Canara Bank Ltd. as part of the social welfare measures launched in 1956 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the Bank.
Fueling Dreams, Igniting Success

The CBJEF aimed to promote and encourage higher technical and scientific education by extending financial support to deserving, needy students pursuing engineering/medical courses. A Book Bank set up by the CBJEF in 1958 focused on lending valuable reference books to such students when access to higher education was very difficult. The CBJEF was indeed a pioneering initiative. In the course of time, the CBJEF's participation in formal and non-formal education activities grew, and it has since come a long way, expanding and extending its reach with new prominent initiatives in tune with the changing times & technology. Funds for all activities is largely through donations and endowments from well-wishers.
