Dear Friends,
MEETING AT HYDERABAD – A GRAND SUCCESS
A meeting was arranged by our Association at Hotel Jaya International, Hyderabad on 14-04-2009, on the eve of visit of Sri N.K. Pareek, President, All India Central Bank Officers’ Federation and Officers’ Representative Director on the Board of Central Bank of India.
Around 75 members working within the Hyderabad city and near by branches, including lady members, attended the meeting with lot of enthusiasm and interest. As the meeting was arranged with a short notice, members working in Hyderabad City and surrounding areas were only invited. The meeting was conducted in a most systematic and disciplined manner
When Sri Pareek reached the venue, all the participants greeted him with thunderous slogans. No words are enough to describe the enthusiasm shown by our members in receiving our Chief Guest.
The meeting commenced at 7.00 p.m. with the welcome address by Sri D.V. Krishna Rao, Vice-President, C.B.O.A. After welcoming Sri K.V. Ramanaiah, President, C.B.O.A. to preside over the meeting, Sri N.K. Pareek was welcomed to the dais as Chief Guest amidst huge burst of applause. Later, the undersigned along with Sri S.M. Subhani, Treasurer, C.B.O.A. was welcomed to the dais. Immediately thereafter, Sri Pareek was felicitated with garlands and bouquets by a number of participants showing their love and affection to our beloved President.
While speaking, the undersigned narrated as to how the Organization was targeted by the management at all levels during the recent past. He explained that leaders and important functionaries of the Organization were targeted and attacked due to their relentless struggle against the terror unleashed in the bank. He congratulated the membership for remaining united and dedicated towards the cause of the officers’ community and keeping their faith in the organization despite various vindictive/punitive actions initiated against them. He thanked the membership for their courage in keeping the flag high despite the victimization actions initiated by the management against the Officers in general and the leaders of AICBOF in particular.
Sri N.K. Pareek deliberated at length about the developments on Wage Revision, Second Option on Pension and other developments relating to Banking Industry. He also explained in detail about the change in management’s attitude after taking over of Sri S. Sridhar, as Chairman and Managing Director of our Bank.
He informed the gathering that the Federation, as the recognized majority organization for officers in the bank, has already initiated dialogues with the management for restoration of the benefits and facilities withdrawn by the previous management unilaterally. He expressed his happiness on making available some of the benefits viz. restoration of conveyance reimbursement scheme, increase in Rent Reimbursement Facility, Provision of Furniture at the residences of the Officers etc. He also informed that the Federation has been making efforts for review of the Transfer and Promotion Policy. He expressed confidence that the management under the leadership of Sri Sridhar would create a congenial atmosphere in the bank so that the Officers work in a tension free environment.
Sri Pareek assured the participants that the Federation would relentlessly fight for securing more benefits and facilities to the Officers working in our Bank. He congratulated the membership for attending in a large number in a short notice.
While delivering Presidential Address, Sri K.V. Ramanaiah thanked the participants for their enthusiastic participation and assured that the Leadership of the Organization would be dedicated to the cause of the officers.
Later in the inter-action session, some of the participants raised queries on several issues including the Transfer and Promotion Policy, Wage Revision etc., which were promptly clarified by Sri Pareek to the satisfaction of one and all.
The meeting was concluded with the Vote of Thanks proposed by Sri M. Siva Sankara Rao, Dy. General Secretary, C.B.O.A.
Friends, the meeting turned out to be a memorable event though it was arranged in a short notice and all members felt after hearing Sri Pareek’s speech that bilateralism has been restored in the Bank after a long time. The enthusiasm and zeal shown by the rank and file describes their sheer dedication to the cause of Officers’ Community and their unstinted affiliation to the Organization, as it has been proved umpteen number of times that A.I.C.B.O.F. is the only Organization in the Bank, waging its relentless struggle for the benefit of Officers working in the Bank.
We thank all our members for their contribution in conducting the Meeting successfully.

Yours sincerely,
