Consequent to the J&K Bank's massive recruitment drive across the state, 800 young executives were appointed as Financial Services/Relationship Executives. Almost all the appointees joined the induction course today. The induction course programmes were organized at New University campus Jammu, Corporate Headquarters' J&K Bank and Gandhi Bhavan Kashmir University, Srinagar. Chairman and CE J&K Bank Dr Haseeb A Drabu flanked by the Executive Directors Mr. Mushtaq Ahmad and Mr. Abdul Rouf Fazili welcomed the appointees to the J&K Bank fraternity at Jammu. Mr. A K Mehta Chief Peoples Officer and Zonal Head Jammu Central were also present on the occasion. While in Srinagar Mr. Abdul Majid Mir President and Mr. G.A. Beigh Vice-President J&K Bank along with top bank officials received the new comers. While sharing his experiences with the new comers Dr Drabu said that the young leaders were undertaking a mission rather than being merely the employees of the bank. He said that the new recruits had a cause to strive for; that is to serve the people of J&K. Dr Drabu expressed hope that the young and energetic managers would take the J&K Bank's torch of empowerment to further expanses of socio-economic emancipation. Mr. Mushtaq Ahmad ED took the new recruits on a nostalgic ride toward the bank's past. Mr. Fazili ED elaborated upon the bank's approach towards business. A K Mehta CPO threw some light on the HR initiatives taken by the bank in recent past. Chairman's message was also read at the auditorium of Corporate Headquarters Srinagar. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Abdul Majid Mir President J&K Bank congratulated the future leaders of the bank asking them to work with sincerity and dedication for the organisation that has to earn its returns amid growing competition in banking industry. He further added that whatever J&K Bank has achieved so far in terms of its profits and profile is the result of the efforts made by every employee of the bank. While welcoming the fresh appointees at Gandhi Bhavan (KU) Mr. G A Beigh said it was because of the commitment of J&K Bank family so far that the bank stood as a 10 billion dollar company. Wishing them a successful career in J&K bank, he asked the new recruits to take the bank to further heights of excellence and success. The highlight of these appointments is that most of the fresh appointees have so far been working with highly reputed organisations even multi-nationals in banking and other service sectors. One of the enthusiastic recruits said, "Despite having a working experience outside the state with a reputed multi-national company I feel honored to join the JK Bank family that provides me the opportunity to serve my own people". The emotional attachment with J&K Bank makes more sense for me to work and serve my people through J&K Bank than being a part of other reputed private sector bank I have been working with till now, said another fresh appointee. The Career Development Wing, J&K Bank has been responsible for the smooth conduct of the recruitment process right from organizing the written tests to the joining-report submission of the new comers in a short span of time. Pertinent to mention here is that the Bank faculty will conduct the two-week induction course for trainees.
