Jogindra Central Cooperative Bank held the first meeting of its newly constituted Board of Directors at the bank’s head office on Bypass Road on Monday.
The meeting, chaired by Advocate Mukesh Sharma, marked a significant moment for the cooperative lender, with a strong focus on improving governance, transparency, and member-centric operations.
The session began with the oath of office and secrecy administered to all newly elected directors. The board then discussed key strategic priorities, including the expansion of cooperative banking services, strengthening digital banking, improving credit delivery systems, and upgrading risk-management frameworks.
Directors underlined that the bank would operate not only as a financial institution but also as a cooperative body committed to social responsibility and member welfare.
A major highlight of the day was the conclusion of NABARD’s statutory inspection, which began on October 27 and ended on November 17. Senior NABARD officials, DGM Sanjeev Sharma, DDM Ashok Chauhan, AGM Paras Ram, and Shubh Srivastava, briefed the board on compliance status, financial health, and operational performance.
The board reaffirmed its commitment to good governance, transparency, and stronger cooperative values. It also announced plans for upcoming financial literacy programmes, member outreach initiatives, and technology upgrades. MD Pankaj Sood and directors Yogesh Bhartiya, Vijay Thakur, Sanjeev Kaushal, Lajkishore, Roshan Verma, and Laxmi Thakur attended the meeting.
