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 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." Replying to a question Goel said "we have initiated steps where we are State level Bankers committee (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." 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. Mayawati's target to become PM ?

Since we can't change our genes, we have to create a map to navigate this crazy life. What can you do to try and stay on top of the stress so it doesn't affect your health, happiness, or waistline? 1. Exercise. Amen for endorphins. Believe me, they've helped me many days with my perspective. If you have to work out, then go take a brisk walk and get that blood flowing. It isn't about working out to lose weight -- it's about being healthy and staying sane. 2. Eat the real stuff. Crappy food (fast, processed, and loaded with sugar) doesn't help your chemical brain and body handle stress. Living food, real food, helps support your mind and body while it's trying to deal with the million things coming its way. Every time I reach for the chocolate, I'm looking to feel something from it. Don't get me wrong -- if it's just a little here and there because I enjoy the taste of it, great. But if I'm using it the minute I feel overwhelmed, then that's when that food is no longer OK to eat. It doesn't make the problem go away, and then I just feel bad about eating the food to pacify myself. Grab green food instead. Put things in your mouth that are going to support your immune function and keep you levelheaded. 3. Notice. Try not to let the stress overtake you. Recognize the situations that cause the stress and notice them coming your way. You have a better shot at fending off the full effects of the stress when you can anticipate it. 4. Get it off your chest. Talk to a friend or partner about the stress.
Sometimes just getting it off your chest can help unload some of the
burden. 5. Keep your sense of humor. If you do have the chance to talk about it, try to see the irony and humor in the wacky bits. I think someone is dead in the water once they lose their sense of humor. 6. Stay grateful. My daughter has large lungs and verbal skills she likes to display. Just when I start to wishfully think about her being quiet, I remind myself to be grateful that she can talk to me at all. In almost all of our problems are boatloads of blessings. "Oh, I don't feel like going to the gym." Well, Amen that you have the means and the health to even be able to wrestle with the idea of going to work out. Make a habit of saying thank you. You will notice the sunny spots a lot more often, and not just the gray skies and storms. 7. Ask, "What's the hurry?" Have some fun. We're always so busy going somewhere, we miss just enjoying the moment. If an opportunity comes your way to do something fun, take it. 8. Take a deep breath. When you feel the stress getting to you, take a moment. Get away, even if it's just for an hour, to be with yourself and your thoughts. Some people like to take a walk, meditate, lock themselves away in a beautiful bath, or go to church. Find the peace and the silence. 9. Keep it simple. Simplify where you can. Does Junior really need to be in 78 activities at the age of 5? Do you have to go to every little party or gathering you're invited to? 10. Turn of the TV. A lot of it is bad news anyway, and it robs us of hours that we could use to be getting other things done. Since everyone complains that they have no time, get some by unplugging from the tube. 11. Sleep. If you're rested, you have a better shot at handling things. Not to mention, you may not stress out as easily if you have a chance to recover at night. 12. Drink water . I have said it before: Americans consume 21 percent of their calories through liquid consumption. Hydrate with water. Help you entire system function better just by drinking enough water. Oh, and by the way, if you don't think that weight loss and proper hydration have a relationship, think again. Shift the paradigm on its side -- don't think about exercise and nutritional eating just as something you have to suffer through to get into those jeans. Instead, think of them as armor that will protect you in this crazy world, with all of the bazillion details you deal with every day.
