“While we recollect our legacy to pay solemn homage to our Heroes of Independence for their ultimate sacrifices and simultaneously cherish being part of a great democracy which carries the emblem of ‘Unity in Diversity’, we take pride in being identified as ‘Citizens of India’ and vow to contribute our bit in shaping future of our beloved Nation – a Developed India”, he added.

While underscoring the importance of such acknowledgment, he stated, “Recognition of such a high order confirms the significance and systemic importance of our Bank and it definitely elevates our morale and brand image but it also reminds us that expectations of stake-holders too have grown and we must continuously deliver better than anticipated.”
