CIRCULAR NO:112                                                DATE: 03.08.2010

TO ALL AFFILIATES/MEMBERS:

COM.K.S.SHETTY, LAID DOWN HIS OFFICE AS PRESIDENT OF AIBOC - WARM FELICITATION AND FAREWELL ON HIS RETIREMENT

It was a moment of high emotions and sentiments to all the members of the Executive Committee of AIBOC on the evening of 30^th July 2010 at Mumbai, while they were immersed with the day’s deliberations and were preparing for the proceedings on the 31^st July 2010 as well.  It was the day on which the Executive Committee decided to bid farewell to our beloved President who was to lay down the Office on his retirement on superannuation from the Bank.  Com.G.D.Nadaf, the General Secretary of the Confederation proposed to place the valuable services rendered by Com.K.S.Shetty, the outgoing President of the Confederation on his retirement from the services of the Bank.  It was greeted by the members of the Committee with thunderous applause. The General Secretary speaking on the occasion apart from an exhaustive coverage in his report to the Executive Committee about the long standing contributions and services of Com.K.S.Shetty, one of the senior members of the Executive Committee who led the Bank Officers’ movement in Syndicate Bank during the most turbulent period and was responsible for several successes in the organisation in bringing lot of benefits to their members.  He was also one of the senior members of the Executive Committee and in recognition of his valuable services to the Confederation he was the right choice for the President’s post when it fell vacant on 31.05.2009 on account of the retirement of Com.V.Eswaran.

The members of the Executive Committee paid rich tributes to the great contributions made by Com.K.S.Shetty for the Bank Officers’ movement and also the Confederation over the last several years in the Executive Committee.  His deliberations were of a great benefit to the leadership of the Confederation and on several occasions he was able to guide the organisation in the right direction. 

The Executive Committee warmly felicitated him and presented him a, Shawl, flower bouquet and memento as well as a letter of appreciation for his valuable services to the Bank Officers’ movement during the last 35 years. The Executive Committee also adopted a resolution to place his valuable services on record and wished him and his family members a happy, prosperous and long life on his retirement from the post of the President.

Com.K.S.Shetty, outgoing President in his response to the felicitations paid his gratitude and vividly recollected several instances which had inspired him to join the Bank Officers’ movement and to make his valuable contributions under the banner of the Confederation.  He desired that the Confederation should carry forward its struggle not only in defending the Banking Industry but to ensure that the common man is protected from the exploitation of the capitalists as part of our trade union activities.

Com.K.S.Shetty, was a popular leader amongst the members of the Executive Committee.  His absence as front line leader of the Confederation is bound to create a big vacuum which needs to be taken care by those who are expected to carry forward the movement in the days to come. 

We take this opportunity to convey Com.K.S.Shetty a happy, healthy, contended and active retired life. We also thank his better half and daughter and wish them all the best.

With greetings,
