NO. OF VISITORS TO THE BLOG CROSSED 50000

Dear Readers,

This is the happiest moment of Central Bank Officers’ Association (CBOA), Andhra Pradesh Unit, which is affiliated to All India Central Bank Officers’ Federation (AICBOF) and All India Bank Officers’ Confederation (AIBOC). The Blog has witnessed the mark of 50000 visitors in less than two years, the fact of which is quite an overwhelming.

We started our Blog on September 8^th 2009 to coincide with the occasion of conducting the Executive Committee Meeting of AICBOF at Hyderabad on 09.09.09 and 10.09.2009.  Sri D.S. Bhadauria, General Secretary, AICBOF inaugurated the Blog in the presence of Sri N.K. Pareek, the then President, AICBOF and Sri Y.S. Kumar, Treasurer, AICBOF, apart from other stalwarts of AICBOF.

Friends, we started the Blog with an intention to enable our members and other Centralites in Andhra Pradesh to have up to date information by taking advantage of the technology advancement. Apart from that, we didn’t have any ambitions or expectations on our Blog. But we, the Office Bearers and dedicated activists of CBOA, AP, had only one thing in our mind – the Blog should be maintained with regular updates and the visitors should be enabled to have the authentic first hand information on Banking and other related issues as far as we can lay our hands.

Though we cannot say that we have achieved the desired result to the extent of 100%, the stupendous success of our BLOG and crossing 50000 visitors in around one year and nine months is giving enough confidence and pride to our Editorial Staff/Office Bearers that our small unit is no smaller than any major trade union representative bodies functioning in the Banking Industry on the Web.

Friends, if we take the visitors of 50000 for a Trade Union Blog that too for a Regional Unit of a Bank in less than two years as a success story, then the success belongs to our dedicated Office Bearers and the activists, who have been making their earnest efforts in providing the updated information and putting their late night efforts in updating the BLOG. Kudos to our Office Bearers for their contribution to the Organisation and the BLOG.

We also dedicate our success to our members in Andhra Pradesh who have been keeping their faith and belief in the Organisation and AICBOF/AIBOC and continuing their loyalty despite several attacks enforced upon them in the recent past.

The success of our Blog, apart from giving confidence to all of us, has put enormous responsibility on the shoulders of our Editorial Staff and the Office Bearers to put extra efforts to meet the challenging needs of the visitors. We shall make all-out efforts in running the BLOG successfully and reaching the aspirations of our members and other Centralites.

We shall be adding some more features to the BLOG in the days to come to represent the voices of the Officers particularly CENTRALITES.

While inviting our readers to contribute liberally to the content of our BLOG by sending the content to the e-mail ID of gscboaap@rediffmail.com, we assure that we shall be making our sincere and dedicated efforts in keeping the Blog updated and keeping our members/viewers with authenticated first hand information

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

(C.A. MALLIKARJUNA RAO)
