Dear Prashant and Gambir
I am so very happy for long we were pitching every Bank should have an
accessibility cell, Which should drive accessibility initiatives. The
value of it is so very visible with each of the multi prong effort. More
commendable is adopting the BIS standards of which Department of PWD is
yet to notify.
It is always that, one is in an advantageous position to be ahead of the
curve.
Congrats team and the management who have correctly understood, acted
appropriately and have chosen the right persons for it. All the very
best and I am sure you will fetch great laurels to your Bank.
