ALL OFFICERS PLEASE
CIRCULATE
Dear
Friends,
9TH TRIENNIAL GENERAL BODY CONFERENCE OF OUR
ASSOCIATION HELD AT HYDERABAD ON 21ST APRIL 2013 – A GLOROIUS EVENT
All of you are aware that the last General
Body Conference of our Association was held at Hyderabad on 3rd
February, 2008. Since then we have witnessed many developments in the Bank and
Banking Industry. Officers in some of the Banks have been forced to face worst
conditions whereas management in some of the banks has extended their helping
hand to officers with their humane approach. But we have witnessed both travelling
from the era of Ms. Daruwalla to Mr. M.V. Tanksale, the present Chairman and
Managing Director.
During this period, we have also faced with
many upheavals in our unit area, mainly due to the management sponsored trade
union activities. Despite denying the fact by the management personnel, the
fact remains as a fact in naked eyes of the public. Some of the management
personnel have even gone to the extent of compromising the interests of the
bank by resorting to irrational deployment knowing fully that such actions
would have an adverse affect on functioning of the branches and the resultant
business growth.
Despite the attacks from all the corners to
destabilize the functioning of our organisation and weaken the officers’
movement, we have survived the onslaught and conducted our 9th
Triennial General Body Conference at Hyderabad on 21st April 2013.
This shows the dedication and commitment of our members to the organisation and
for the cause of Officer’s community in the bank. We salute our members who have been with us in adverse conditions and continued
their fight to protect the interests of the officers.
We are very happy to inform you that the 9th
Triennial General Body Conference held at Hotel Grand Sankalp, Koti, Hyderabad
on 21st April 2013 was a great success. The Conference Hall and the
surroundings were decorated with flowers and banners which gave festive look.
Members from all over the State, including lady members, attended the
Conference with lot of enthusiasm and joy. The Conference has also attained
significance with the appointment of Sri S.B. Rode, President, AICBOF as
Officer-Director on the Board of Central Bank of India, recognizing our
majority status in the Bank. The Conference was conducted in a most systematic
and disciplined manner.
The Inaugural Session commenced at 11.00 a.m.
Sri D.V. Krishna Rao, Sr. Vice-President, Central Bank Officers’ Association, Andhra
Pradesh invited the dignitaries to the dais. The Conference was invoked with
prayer by Sri B. Narasimha Rao, Managing Committee Member. The undersigned, in
the Welcome Address, extended a warm welcome to Sri K. Kumaraswamy, President,
CBOA, Andhra Pradesh, Sri A.R. Saifullah, General Secretary, A.I.C.B.O.F., who
was the Chief Guest of the Conference, Sri M. Elangovan, Field General Manager
of our Zone, Sri S.B. Rode, President, AICBOF and Officer-Director of our Bank and
Sri E.R. Sarathkumar, Joint Secretary, AICBOF.
The undersigned also extended warm welcome to
Sri N.K. Pareek, Ex-President, AICBOF, Ex-Officer-Director, Central Bank of
India and General Secretary of All India Central Bank Retired Officers’
Federation, Sri K.K. Sengupta, President, All India Central Bank Retired
Officers’ Federation, Sri K. Prabhakar, Ex-General Secretary, C.B.O.A., Andhra
Pradesh and General Secretary, Central Bank of India Retired Officers’ Welfare
Association, Andhra Pradesh, Executives of our Bank, retired officers and other
CENTRALITES. All the dignitaries on the dais and off the dais were honored with
flower bouquets.
Sri M. Elangovan, Field General Manager inaugurated
the Conference by lighting the traditional lamp along with other dignitaries on
the dais.
In his inaugural address, Sri M. Elangovan,
Field General Manager conveyed the progress made by the Bank and more so
particularly about crossing the milestone business mix of Rs.400000 crores. He
has informed that bank has been reaping the results of its H.R. initiatives now.
He has apprised about our Zone’s performance and its standing in the bank on
various parameters. He has also informed that branch net work would be at
faster pace during the current year which would throw opportunities for grabbing
business from new avenues. He appealed to all CENTRALITES to put in their best
efforts to attain the goal of Rs.500000 crore business mix during the current
year. He expressed confidence that bank would be able to reach it golden goal
with the dedicated efforts of all CENTRALITES. He ended his inaugural address
with a famous quote of Sri A.P.J. Kalam, Former President of India.
Sri E.R. Sarathkumar, Guest of Honor, recollected
his experiences with our Unit and how he got inspiration from the activities of
A.P. Unit. He informed that officers’ interests would be safeguarded only with
their association with AICBOF and its affiliated units, which have been
fighting since long and keeping the dignity of the officers intact. He has informed
that the officers in the bank would get its due share now with the appointment
of Sri S.B. Rode as Officer-Director on the Board.
Sri S.B. Rode, President, AICBOF and
Officer-Director, Central Bank of India deliberated at length about the
situation prevalent in the Bank and the management’s attitude towards the
officers. He has informed that our Pune Unit is commanding more than 94% of
membership amongst the officers where the rival unions are restricted to single
digit. He has expressed his gratitude to the officers in the bank who have been
jubilated with his appointment as Officer-Director on the Board. He has
exhibited his humbleness by declaring that he is small soldier of the
Federation, the champion of officers’ movement in the Bank and will remain as a
committed soldier irrespective of his position.
He has expressed his anguish as to how the
Andhra Pradesh unit is lagging behind in membership when compared to other
units especially when the Federation leads the membership in the bank with a
huge majority. He has ensured that AP unit will have special attention in the
eyes of Federation considering the fact that it has been at the receiving end
during the recent past with the attacks from the management sponsored trade
union activities. He has also assured that every effort will be made to
safeguard the interests of the members of AP unit who have shown their courage
in continuing their affiliation with the Association. He wished that A.P. Unit
would follow the footsteps of Pune Unit and regain the majority status to safeguard
the interests of the Officers’ Community. He has also expressed his gratitude
for inviting him to the General Body Conference and extending warm welcome by
the unit.
Sri A.R. Saifullah, General Secretary, AICBOF
and Chief Guest of the Conference has greeted the gathering with a famous Telugu
salutation “Endaro Mahanubhavulu. Andariki Vandanaalu”, which was acknowledged
by the gathering with thunderous applause. He has appreciated the arrangements
made by the Office Bearers and the Managing Committee Members for the General
Body Conference.
He has informed the latest developments in
the Bank and Banking Industry and congratulated CENTRALITES for reaching the
milestone of Rs.400000 crore business mix. He has informed that the target
could be achieved with the dedicated efforts made by the officers at the field
level rather than the efforts of the executives at Regional/Zonal level. He has
expressed his displeasure on fixing targets to the branches without fixing
individual targets to the Regional/Zonal Heads. When he quoted an example of a
Region achieving the targets in all parameters when more than 70% of the
Branches in the Region could not achieve their targets, the gathering responded
with thunderous applause.
He has appraised about severe shortage of
officers and management’s attitude towards officers. He has also informed that
the Federation has been fighting with the management for faster pace of
recruitment of officers and internal promotions so as to maintain 1:1 ratio
between the Officers and Clerks in the bank. He has expressed his concern as to
how the executives in Hyderabad Zone could violate Central Office guidelines
and settled policies in implementing the H.R. initiatives which have been
demotivating the officers. He has lambasted the Corporate Management for not
implementing some of the suggestions of the Federation in improving the bank’s
business which would enable the staff members for their wholehearted
involvement in improving the bank’s business.
He has expressed his serious concern on the
rising no. of frauds in the Zone and the alarming level of NPAs. He has put the
sole responsibility on the management for the situation in the Zone which has
been lenient in initiating action against the offenders due to extraneous
pressures. He has also lambasted the management personnel who have allowed the
offenders to go scot free after their depositing huge money in the bank to
cover up the intentional frauds. He has expressed his inability to understand as
to how these executives could sabotage the interests of the Bank, which has
given opportunities to climb up the ladder in their career.
He has also apprised about the charter of
demands submitted to the IBA. by the U.F.B.U under the leadership of AIBOC, to
whom we are affiliated to. He has expressed confidence that wage revision would
be settled before the end of December 2013 to the satisfaction of all.
As regards the functioning of AP state unit,
he has informed that the AP unit has its unique place in the eyes of the Federation
irrespective of its membership. He highlighted the importance given to A.P.
State Unit by the Federation as he himself visited Andhra Pradesh on at least
six occasions either in the capacity of President or General Secretary, AICBOF.
He stressed upon the need to increase its membership position, which could be
possible only with active participation of each and every member. His
inspirational speech was well acclaimed by the participants.
He also narrated about the benefits being
extracted from the management by the Federation and the fruits of which could
be enjoyed by the entire officers’ community now in the form of substantial
enhancement in Rent Reimbursement Ceilings and Conveyance Reimbursement on
Monetary basis.
Sri N.K. Pareek, General Secretary, All India
Central Bank Retired Officers’ Federation has extended warm greetings to Sri
S.B. Rode on his appointment as Officer-Director as his successor. He has
congratulated the Office Bearers for marching ahead despite the onslaught from
vested interests.
Sri K. Prabhakar, Ex-General Secretary, CBOA,
Andhra Pradesh and General Secretary, Central Bank of India Retired Officers’
Welfare Association, Andhra Pradesh has spoken at length about the militancy of
the organisation and expressed confidence that Andhra Pradesh unit would become
a force to reckon with in coming days and making his vision KAL-AAJ-AUR KAL a
reality.
FELICITATION TO SRI S.B. RODE, PRESIDENT, AICBOF ON HIS
APPOINTMENT AS OFFICER-DIRECTOR ON THE BOARD OF CENTRAL BANK OF INDIA
We are very happy to inform you that Sri S.B.
Rode, our beloved President, AICBOF and Officer-Director, Central Bank of India
has been felicitated at our 9th Triennial General Body Conference
held at Hyderabad on 21st April 2013 amidst huge gathering and
jubilant mood of the members.
We are also very happy to inform you that Sri
S.B. Rode has participated in the General Body Conference and the Felicitation
Function at Hyderabad on our invitation only due to his special relation with our
Association. In fact, he has almost cancelled his programme at Hyderabad due to
his sudden illness. Being a committed soldier of the Federation, he has
attended our General Body Conference ignoring his health condition, which
should be appreciated by all. Due to his illness, he could not even take
breakfast or lunch. In spite of that, he participated in our General Body
Conference with full vigor only with an intention to keep his commitment to AP
Unit and to protect the interests of the Officers in the bank and more
particularly the officers of Hyderabad Zone.
Immediately after the addressing of Sri A.R.
Saifullah, our beloved General Secretary, AICBOF and immediately upon the
announcement of felicitation programme, all the members present in the
Conference have responded in an unprecedented manner. It’s a scene to be
cherished for long and to be seen in one’s life. People thronged upon the dais to
greet him and honor him. Due to the unprecedented response, we were forced to
cut short of the felicitation due to paucity of time on account of his
essential participation in the discussions scheduled on 22nd April
2013 with Central Office on Transfer Policy. He was honored with shawls and
bouquets by a large no. of officers and given a standing ovation with loud
applause.
Responding to the occasion, Sri M. Elangovan,
Field General Manager and Sri P. Dharmalingam, Sr. Regional Manager, Hyderabad
have also felicitated Sri S.B. Rode with shawls and flowers on his appointment
as Officer-Director on the Board of our Bank in the presence of Sri Ajay Kumar
Agarwal, Asst. General Manager – Marketing and other executives of Hyderabad.
BUSINESS SESSION
During the business session, which was held
after lunch, the Conference has unanimously approved the accounts of the
Association and the General Secretary Report. Later elections to the unit were
conducted by Sri S.B. Rode, President, AICBOF, Sri A.R. Saifullah, General
Secretary, AICBOF and Sri .E.R. Sarathkumar, Joint Secretary, AICBOF as
Election Officers, with the approval of the house. Sri A.R. Saifullah declared
that only one panel of names of Office Bearers / Managing Committee Members was
submitted by the undersigned along with Sri D.V. Krishna Rao. Sri Saifullah declared
the panel as unanimously elected and read out the names to the applause of
members. The list of Office Bearers/Managing Committee Members is enclosed.
After the election process, Sri D.V. Krishna
Rao, the newly elected President requested the members to extend cooperation to
the new team of Office Bearers and assured that the Association would initiate
all measures to protect the interests of the officers.
Sri C.A. Mallikarjuna Rao, the newly elected
General Secretary has conveyed his gratitude to all the members for reposing faith
and confidence on the body and electing the panel unanimously. He has also extended
his gratitude to the members for continuing their loyalty towards the
organisation despite facing several hardships from all the corners. He has
assured that the efforts would be continued to protect the interests of the
officers with the active support of the Federation and the Officer-Director.
As the Federation leadership felt that these
dedicated members should be appreciated for their unstinted support to the
Association, touching the hearts of the participants, Sri A.R. Saifullah and
Sri S.B. Rode greeted every participant by going to their seats and honoring them
with flower bouquets. It’s a magnificent gesture from the mighty leaders of the
officers’ movement to the magnificent members. Some of the members moved away
with this unprecedented gesture from top leaders.
We
salute these dedicated members and we can only repay them with our sincere and
honest efforts to continue the struggle and take the officers’ movement in the
bank and in the Banking Industry to further heights.
Later the house passed Amendments to the
Constitution increasing the monthly subscription from the present Rs.100/- to
Rs.150/- in order to fall in line with other units of the Federation and also
to meet the spiraling costs. Resolutions on some important matters were placed
and the same were passed unanimously by the conference.
The business session concluded with vote of
thanks by Sri M. Veerabhadrakumar, the newly elected Regional Secretary,
Vijayawada. The Conference proceedings were conducted in a systematic manner,
which was appreciated by all the members. All the dignitaries participated in
the meetings have lauded the efforts made by our Association in conducting the
conference successfully.
Friends, this Conference has its own significance
in the backdrop of upheaval against the officers affiliated to our Association.
Despite facing so many odds, this conference turned out to be a memorable one. The
enthusiastic participation of the members and their involvement in the
Association have not only given strength to the Office Bearers but also laid a
higher responsibility on the shoulders of Office Bearers in strengthening the
Organisation.
We thank all our members for their spontaneous
response and liberal financial contribution for the General Body Conference. We
convey our sincere thanks to Sri M. Siva Sankara Rao, who has been extending
his services to our Association even after retirement from the bank in all
aspects. We assure you that the newly elected Office Bearers would strive hard
and put every effort for the development of the Association and resolving the
members’ grievances.
Yours
sincerely,
