Dear Sir/Madam,

FORMATION OF OUR 15th UNIT - - IN GOA ON 09-08-2015

With the retirement of more number of employees in the Bank in the near future, retired employees of Canara Bank residing in the State of Goa had been longing to have a separate organisation to look after their interests. Accordingly, in a meeting of our bank retirees from Goa and nearby centres, an Adhoc Committee was formed towards Foundation of Retirees’ Association in Goa. Adhoc Committee decided that the Foundation Conference be held in August 2015 at Panaji, Goa. Accordingly, Foundation Conference was held at Goa on 09-08-2015.

Sri B.P.M.Barretto, Chairman Adhoc Committee welcomed the dignitaries and

the participants to the Conference. Sri Francis Soares, Secretay, Adhoc

Committee invited Sri S.V.Srinivasan, General Secretary, AICBRF to

inaugurate the Foundation Conference. In his inaugural address, Sri

S.V.Srinivasan traced the historical course of pensioners’ movement in general

and bank retirees’ movement in particular. He also touched upon salient

features of the Medical Insurance Scheme proposed to be introduced in our

Bank in terms of the 10th Bipartite Settlement & Joint Note dated 25.05.2015.

General Secretary of AICBRF, besides greeting the participants also called

upon each and every retiree member in the State of Goa to play his due role in

enlisting more members by fostering true spirit of all cadre unity symbolised

by AIBRF and strengthen Canara Bank Retirees’ Association – Goa Unit

further.

Sri Ajay Manjrekar, Central Committee Member of AIBEA & General Secretary

of Canara Bank Employees’ Union, in his keynote address dealt with the

struggles of bank employees culminating in 10th Bipartite Settlement and

explained its salient features. While greeting the participants in the

Conference, he declared that CBEU would continue to back up the efforts of

our Federation in advancing retirees’ cause at the bank level and extend

support to AICBRF wherever possible in its onward march. Recalling the

emotional bondage with the State of Goa, Sri Ajay Manjrekar wished the Goa

unit to strengthen and bring laurels to AICBRF at the national level by

enrolling more and more number of retired employees of our Bank to its fold in

the near future.
