Another significant area in my career in the Bank was my association with

In Scale II, I was selected as a Faculty Member in Bank’s Apex Training
College at Kolkata in 1988. Besides taking sessions in Credit, we brought out
Manager’s Handbook in 1990 as a reference book for all officers and Branch
Heads. This was 1st
of its kind in Banking Industry at that time.
During its formative period of IBPS in 1989-90 I was selected by Dr.
Kulkarni for preparation of model questions and thus was associated with the
organisation.
In June 2010, I was posted as Principal of the Bank’s Apex Training College
at Kolkata. In 2011 the College conducted a Mass Awareness Programme
called CHETNA in the lines of similar programmes conducted by SBI, BOB,
Allahabad Bank. The difference was that the entire content, methodology,
delivery was done by the training system of the Bank and no outside support
was taken. All categories of staff members starting from subordinate staff,
clerical staff, officers and Branch Heads participated in the Programme
together in the same class room. Sessions were conducted in vernacular/
Hindi. Around 20000 personnel of the Bank participated in the Programmes.

When I was Chief Manager at Defence Colony Branch, there was a large
borrower Company engaged in construction of bridges, dams, roads, railway
lines etc This Company had international presence having construction
activities in Iraq, Libya, Sudan and an Indian subsidiary company for
construction Nathpa Jhakri Power Project (now SVNL). For its activities the
Company was financed by a consortium of Banks with Uco bank as the leader
of the consortium. The Company had a vertical split due to dispute between
Chairman and Managing Director. A number of cases were filed by both the
parties in various Courts and bank was also dragged into these cases. As a
result nearly Rs 100 crores of Consortium advance mostly in non- funded form

was under threat. As a pro-active measure we approached Delhi High Court to
declare the projects as of National importance and appoint separate
management for each incomplete project independent of the Company. The
Honourable Court agreed and passed the Landmark Judgement. Thus the
outstanding advance of Rs 100 crores was liquidated.
From Feb 2009 to June 2010 when I was posted in Chennai I was looking
after the stressed assets of our Bank in the 4 Southern states of Andhra
Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. In FY-10 we could reach our
recovery target.
Thus in my career in the Bank I was fortunate enough to get an all round
experience and exposure.
