To:
ALL UNITS /
STATE COMMITTEES
Comrades,
THERE ARE HUNDREDS WHO WILL
GLADLY LAY DOWN
THEIR LIVES FOR A CAUSE BUT
VERY FEW WHO WILL BE
PREPARED TO LIVE FOR IT.
8th
REMEBRANCE DAY OF COM.RJS
Eight long years have rolled down, after the trade union movement lost
the ever -smiling leader Com.RJS. During the three decades of
leadership right from 1983 till his last breadth on 15th
June 2013, strengthening the officers� movement from Canara Bank
officers� Union to the National level, his contribution was
undoubtedly remarkable and immeasurable. His personal contribution
to preserve the status of Canara Bank Employees Union, led by late
Com. C.S, was another milestone of his achievements.
2. The sudden demise of the Founder President of our
Organization, Com Prabhat Kar on 27th November 1984 and
to fill the captaincy of AIBOA, the task was entrusted to him in
Mumbai Conference in 1986. When certain negative service conditions
were incorporated by the then leadership of AIBOC in the joint note,
he was the one, who took the bold step, to challenge the provisions
in the High Court of Hyderabad and preferred to remain aloof from
the signing exercise with IBA. It
was Com. P.K.Menon and Com. RJS were the first to echo the voice for
introduction of Pension to Banking fraternity collectively. When
attacks were mounted by others, he was one who was able to thwart
the attempts in a straight manner. Minutes of meetings held with IBA
on Pension issue were presented before the members with a
transparent approach. Alongside,
he took up the computerization increment issue and gave a strike
call. IBA, did concede
the demand of AIBOA and handed over the letter conceding the demand
raised, at Standard Chartered Bank Union office at New Delhi. His brilliant presentation in the seminar opposing the
Reform Policy of the Government at the Centre at Delhi, was
another addition to his clarity on the Issue. The capacity to
intervene and bring an acceptable solution with all concerned was
demonstrated in the matter of redeployment policy in the year 2004
paving way for the settlement 0n 02.06.2005. Forming a
coordinating body of Non-SBI officers in 2009, was a turning point
in the matter one more option for pension in 2010. He was one
who emphatically expressed the impact of technology as early as 2000
itself. The seed was sown in
Feb 2006 on Regulated working Hours and Five days in our Silver
Jubilee conference at Delhi. We realized after 9 years partially. He
was one who reiterated the necessity to develop good managers as a
knowledge workers, thus the birth of
Tarak Institute of Banking and Trade Union Research in 2007.
3.He had the passion for the commoners in the society. CBOU had
installed water pumps in
drought affected districts in Orissa. It blossomed into
establishing the TRUST FOR
UNORGANISED in 2007. This year also, two school going
children of a skilled unemployment worker(lost the job in the first
wave of COVID 19) were provided financial help to enable them to
continue their education in the School.
4.Our Kerala State
Committee last year provided medical accessories to treat COVID
patients to Calicut Medial College Hospital, worth about Rs 13 lacs.
Every Officer comrade, for the noble work of social identification,
on the 7th Remembrance day (15.06.2020),
contributed to accomplish the task.
5. This year also, they
have taken upon the task of mobilizing the collection of nearly Rs
11 lacs to provide the essentials to treat the patients in
Government run medical Centre/hospital in five districts of KERALA
viz: Thiruvananthapuram, Alappuzha, Malappuram, Kannur and Kollam.
The State Committee organized the
Virtual meeting on 13th June 2021, participated by nearly
150 members.Ms.Aditi Venkateshswaran delivered a speech on WORK-LIFE BALANCE for forty minutes. It was one of best presentation
on strains of joblessness and how to get over the pains of depleting
savings of an performing artist.
Well done TEAM AIBOA KERALA.
6.AIBOA Central office has conveyed the decision of financial
help to meet out the deficit to accomplish this noble task on his 8th
remembrance day.
OUR RESPECTFUL HOMAGE TO COM.RJS.
Yours comradely,
/S.NAGARAJAN/
GENERAL SECRETARY.
�DO AS MUCH GOOD AS YOU CAN, TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN,
IN AS MANY WAYS AS YOU CAN. AND AS LONG AS YOU CAN�
A SOCIAL REFORMER IN CONDUCT AND POSSESSER OF
INDOMITABLE WILL TO PERFORM.
Eighty four months have rolled down. Com.RJS
became immortal in the galaxies of the founding leaders of the
banking trade union on 15th June 2013. His contributions to the
banking trade union movement were immeasurable.
2. During his 43 years of service to the TU movement, he was
baptised at the altar of the trade union by none other than late
Com.CS, the household name in Canara Bank Employees� Union and also
in the Cooperative Bank movement too in the State of Tamil Nadu.
Rose from a humble beginning as a Branch Representative in Canara
Bank Employees Union to the National level as President for 6 years,
as the General Secretary of AIBOA for 19years, and Chairman of our
Organisation for two years in addition to his additional
responsibilities in the Canara Bank Officers� union. The quality of
lending shoulders to other functionaries to share the
responsibilities of retaining the Trade union functioning was
remarkable and yet to be witnessed. His long stint of leave on loss
pay to save the Employees Union in Canara Bank, in crisis time,
today stands as an example for others. This daring decision also
forced the Canara Bank management to severe his employment from the
bank. Elders in the Trade union at that time took steps to halt the
attack against him. He was the one who could see the emerging
dangers due to unrestricted technology allowed to be implemented
without any resistance.
3. He added glory to our movement by
articulating strong views on men and matters. The first claim for
the introduction of Pension in one form or other demanded by late
Com.P.K. Menon founder General Secretary AIBOA (14.02.1981) pursued
vigorously without any hesitation or vacillation by Com.RJS
steadfastly. Regulated working hours and five-day week demand to be
taken forward from the Silver Jubilee conference in Delhi 2006, led
to realise partially in 2015 for the entire banking workforce. He
was the architect of the TARAK INSTITUTE OF BANKING AND TRADE UNION
RESEARCH established in the year 2007 and established a trust for
the Unorganised Sector. Silently he extended help to some of the
leading lights of the working-class movement. He was soft-spoken,
amiable and also act with sharp and quick wits. To state in a
nutshell, he was a social reformer with an indomitable will to
perform.
4. From the Central office of our organisation, usually, we do
social identification programmes in a small measure. This year due
to COVID 19, it is delayed because of restrictions on our travel
etc.
AIBOA KERALA STATE COMMITTEE FULFILLED THE
DREAM OF COM RJS.
The members of our organisation working in the
State Kerala, as per State Committee call to help the COVID 19
situation, contributed a sum of Rs.1300000 for purchase of 4 ICU
monitors and ancillary instruments to be installed in the 4 ICU
wards in Calicut Medical College in the memory of Com.RJS. Team
AIBOA records its deep appreciation of their commitments to the
society and its helping nature in the time of need.
Aptly to quote from Shri.M.K.Gandhi, the father of the Nation:
STRENGTH DOES NOT COME FROM MERE PHYSICAL
CAPACITY. IT COMES FROM AN INDOMITABLE WILL. (1920)
MAN BECOMES great exactly IN THE DEGREE IN
WHICH HE WORKS
FOR THE WELFARE OF THE FELLOW MEN (1930}
Com.RJS Amar Rahe.
All glory to Com.RJS

Mundiambakkam, Near Thindivanam

Special Schools.Yes to meet the urgent needs of the special
children AIBOA constructed and donated an overhead reservoirtank

PHOTO SLIDE SHOW OF THE EVENT >
With profound grief and sorrow we convey the sad news of the demise
of our beloved leader, Com R J Sridharan, Chairman of AIBOA at about
12.30 noon today at a city hospital in Chennai. He was admitted for
check up on 22nd April 2013 and was recovering well. But
sudden deterioration of the functioning of various organs this
afternoon ended his life. He leaves behind his octogenarian mother,
his beloved wife, son & daughter.
Born on 26th October 1948, he joined Canara Bank as Clerk
at Madurai on 21st July 1969. He evinced serious and
sincere interest in Trade Union way of life within a year of his
joining the Bank. He was elected as Branch Secretary of Canara Bank
Employees Union in 1970 itself and when he was transferred to
Chennai City ( T C Street branch), he continued his determination to
be very active in Chennai, the citadel of CBEU. Amidst the galaxy of
tall leaders & stalwarts like Com C S, Com KRN he grew steadily
playing useful roles. He became the Zonal Secretary of CBEU under
the aegis of the dynamic and charismatic leader Com C S.
In the foundation conference of AIBOA held at Nagpur on 14th Feb
1981, Com RJS was elected as one of the Assistant Secretaries.
During the Mumbai conference of AIBOA held in Jun 1986, Com RJS was
unanimously elected as President at a very young age of 37 when the
then General Secretary Com P K Menon was 60 years old. He was
elected as the General Secretary of AIBOA in the Chennai conference
held in July 1991, in which position he continued till laying down
the office again at the same venue during the 6th Conference
held in Dec 2011 when he was elected as the Chairman of AIBOA.
But the sagacity that Com RJS personified enabled a fine discharge
of the role at a crucial juncture like entering the Bilateral table
and ensuring the views and voice of AIBOA got recognized from
everyone, from the great & tall leaders like Com Tarak, Com Chadda,
Com Menon, AIBEA and Management’s representatives at IBA level.
Com RJS has taken the AIBOA to this great stature by his
organizational ability. Oratorical skill, negotiating acumen,
prolific writing and his capacity to convince even adversaries
through his matured way of handling of even things which were hard
to get through.
Com RJS, who has strolled as a Gentle colossus in the last over 30
years among Bank Employees & Officers in the country, had never
hesitated to play the role expected of him. Undeterred by his
fragile health – with congenital heart valve disfunction – he moved
dauntlessly throughout the country organizing units under AIBOA.
If Com P K Menon could be credited with the thought of ushering in
introduction of pension in the industry in 1989 itself, Com RJS,
tirelessly, ceaselessly & relentlessly campaigned alongwith Com
Tarakda and ultimately achieved implementation of Pension for
bankmen in 1993. Com RJS was always a man looked upon to offer
solution for several crisis that had occurred in wage negotiations
and he came out every time with grand ideas. Thus Com RJS was path
finder, pace setter and clincher of the difficult issues.
The last decade of Com RJS’s life was full of ambition to achieve
all the issues that one wanted. While the first one was foreseeing
the monstrous & dreaded outsourcing which he rightly felt would be a
disastrous job killer. He ensured that the AIBOA conference in Delhi
in 2006 gave a clarion call to bank men to carry on the struggle. In
the same conference, Com RJS was instrumental in AIBOA declaring
that bank officer’s should have regulated working hours.
The compassion, concern, conviction and commitment that Com RJS
had, to work to lift the under privileged, underdogs, have-nots and
weaker sections of the society was eventually manifested in all his
words & deeds in the last 30 years. Com RJS ensured the Unorganized
Sector Welfare Relief Fund that AIBOA started created a thrust and
co-ordinated the benevolence in a humble way. What governments, NGOs
and bigger Trade Unions of even CTUs could not even imagine this,
Com RJS implemented it. This has given AIBOA edifice a big momentum.
To enable the bank Officers to equip themselves to handle the new
banking practices, his dream project of establishment of Tarak
Institute of banking and Trade Union Research was established in the
year 2007 at Mamallapuram.
Revival of our house magazine “Two Roses” which Com RJS had started
in 1990 was another issue that was working in his mind. He saw to it
that the resumption of application started on 14th feb
2013, the foundation day of AIBOA.
Com RJS wanted the AIBEA/AIBOA co-ordination to function in full
throat to ensure both the organization achieved what they have been
campaigning and carrying on struggle. He was emphatic that none can
cut the umbilical cord of AIBEA & AIBOA. He used to say “Unity in
action, Unique in thought and uncompromising in ideals that both
organisations personified” should take us forward. Com RJS ‘s
candid, transparent and without mincing words that both
organizations should practice mutual trust, confidence and respect
taking into account the dimensions and the direction we have to
navigate cruising smoothly to anchor in our destined place.
Com.RJS has to be remembered by a million family of Pensioners who
have retired and those who are in service now through his path
finding role in 1993-1995 Pension campaign against the short sighted
organisations JACKAL like activities and achieving it then and
again in 2009-10 when one more option for pension was in the brink
of precipice, it was Com.RJS’s game changer role that
retrieved the whole issue thus benefiting 330000 workmen and
officer employees
Comrades a vivid vacuum created with Com.RJS passing away at a
crucial time when we needed most and when there is a big gulf in
the leadership at the helm in negotiation with IBA and the latter
assuring a demon like proposition and trying to impose all
those that Com.RJS opposed and ensured are not implemented in his
life time.
Com.RJS’s speeches of last three decades would always reverberate in
our ears for ever and his ever smiling face will be greenly
reminisced for memory more decades giving us strength, courage,
support, inspiration and motivation which he used to always show
inplenty when he was alive.
Comrades! The best way to perpetuate the memory of the
greatest leader of all times we have been is only to work stead
fastly in the path shown to us by Com.RJS and work with unflinching
loyalty and unbridled unity to achieve the unfinished tasks.
Comrades! Man is mortal and none can claim to be immortal in
this world. Com.RJS’s mortal remains might have been
consigned to flames but his contribution to the Country, Society,
Industry, Banks and Bankmen – Employees and Officers shall always
remain immortal. In a world where even a small men portray
themselves in a larger than lifestyle Com.RJS was humble and simple.
Com.RJS is one who willz live beyond death and hence “O death be not
proud that you consumed the life of Com.RJS”.
Com.RJS in his 43 years of Trade Union life has transgressed some
patterns deserved to be so sometimes, transcended all barriers with
his broad shoulders to accommodate all many a times but he traversed
a path which Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda to
lead the path unswervingly, unmindfully of what others say if you
believe you are right.
