Star Ekalavya

Kashmir Times. Dated: 11/9/2017 11:40:18 PM

Dear Editor,
Bank of India deserves kudos for introducing a new concept, of Area Manager’s Office in the Bank for better monitoring the performance of the Branches and guiding them to perform to their potential. The Area Manager has the responsibility of mentoring 25-30 branches in the region assigned to him and is a Senior Management official of the level of Chief Manager. “Star Ekalavya’, a unique idea of making use of the knowledge and rich experience of the former Senior Executives of the Bank was conceived, for training the ‘Panch Pandavas’ who have just been assigned the duties in the Area Manager’s Office.
Apart from being unique, ‘Star Ekalavya’ idea also has dual advantage – 1. The experience of the retired executives of the Bank is utilized for the Bank’s benefit and in turn, they also feel connected in the Bank’s progress and 2. The Training will be at the location of the AMO and thus is beneficial to the Bank as the operational costs will be very much less. There is no doubt that with the introduction of Star Ekalavya, it will be now an on-going exercise, with the Dronacharyas doing the hand-holding once every quarter so that the performance will be consistent.
