For Goyal motivating the workforce comes first then other things follow. In an interview to <whispersinthecorridors.com>UCO bank's CMD Goel said "I am fully committed to my assignment always.

I am confident that we will achieve the same and it will be beneficial to the customers and for us too as it will increase our business and profits too." Here goes his interview: 1/What is going to be your priority area as CMD of UCO Bank? Please list two such areas. A- Banking is a service industry. For an institution functioning in the service sector human resources are highly critical. Further more, for banks deposits are the lifeline. Even in deposits the low cost deposits are more important for bringing down the cost of deposits. In view of the above, the areas on which I will be according top priority are (1) To build up a team to work for a common goal and to explore the potential to take the bank to a higher position than it had occupied at the time of nationalization and till 1980's (2) Maximize CASA. Presently CASA is too low @ 28% of total deposits. I would like it to be at least 35%in a year's time and to minimize Non performing assets (Non performing assets (Non performing assets (NPAs) to 2% of gross advances and 1% of net advances. 2/What is the secret of your success? A- "The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary". There is no short cut to success, Success follows who are tenacious and who works hard and smart and utilize the opportunities and exploit the available potential. I believe in hard work. I am fully committed to my assignment always. I carry my team along with motivation for their high level of contribution which will lead to better performance and success. This is the secret of my success. 3/What new initiatives you intend to take in the UCO Bank? A-I plan to introduce new initiatives in the areas of (i) personnel and industrial relations; (ii) strengthening of our Regional Offices specially where we are having the SLBC responsibilities; (iii) treasury operations; (iv) NPA control and recovery measures (iv) improving the standard of customer service (v)quickening the process of CBS rollout. 4/In what way inclusive banking & profitability be synergized? A-It is estimated that a large number of common people at the bottom of the pyramid have not been brought under the purview of organized banking sector. There is vast scope of business opportunities. This system of banking has proved successful as well as beneficial to all concerned where it was actively followed. In view of the above and also the fact that there is need to bring all the people into the orbit of the banking sector. We have initiated steps where we are SLBC conveners to achieve 100% financial inclusion. I am confident that we will achieve the same and it will be beneficial to the customers and for us too as it will increase our business and profits too. 5/Can you tell us at least one way of fighting unemployment at grassroots both in urban and rural pockets? A-Unemployment is a serious problem the country has been facing. There is large scale unemployment in rural and urban areas. Banks play a vital role in addressing this problem by providing credit for productive sectors. The credit provided by banks to industries, either. Big, small and medium enterprises provide large scale employment opportunities. In addition, banks also provide direct financing to agriculturists, self-employed people, professionals and self help groups which offer them self employment opportunities. 6/How do you like to chill out & what is your hobby? A-I enjoy listening music and reading books. I also spend my time with my family and occasionally go out for relaxation. I visit temples quite often and derive moral strength to perform my duties in an efficient manner.

FORUM The observations of a Civil service officer that " of IAS officers I sympathise with Sudhir Chopra for his travails but wish to point out that his ire against the CVC may be misdirected. The root of the evil lies within the Defence Estates Directorate General. The DG has mastered a unique style of putting tainted elements in his charmed circle at the HQts and using (or abusing) them because of their own vulnerability for bullying and victimising those upright officers who dare to resist the wrong doings of the DG or his stooges. Professional competence or devotion to duty are of no use if you call a spade a spade. Likewise incompetence or dishonesty are no issues at all if you turn a 'yes man'an admirer of the DG and his henchmen. Whether this unique management style is out of sheer perversion or with some motives for material gains is anybody's guess. The state of affairs reminds me of my maths teacher in the nursery school who would say, "your sum is right if you promise to be a good boy". There is but a basic difference. Our teacher was a well meaning jovial soul but the DG of Defence Estates is just the opposite. Be that as it might, crux of the matter is that we need not blame the CVC for all this. If at all, some blame has to be apportioned to the MoD who as controlling Ministry has been till recently happily agreeing to be misled by the Department's ( read DG's) one sided versions without any independent verifications. N N Ojha Mathur is dynamic in leadership qualities. It is a real loss to the Government. In my view Government should evolve an effective system to utilise such talents for public service. I am not against anyone joining the private sector which would be beneficial financially and otherwise to the individual and also the private organisation will gain immensly. But remaining in Government would have brought greater achievement. M J John This is unfortunate that in our country all powerful people choose
to have YES MEN (no merit)with them and get all their resources including
their on holy tactful habits fully exploited for self benefits. The
same group of like minded persons become a powerful coterie and they
start exploiting their position and nearness to the powerful personalities.
Why should they fear now. As you sow so shall you reap. Aaj Ki Aawaz Commies and UPA have a Coordination Committee!!!
