ALL INDIA BANK OF BARODA OFFICERS' ASSOCIATION

12th September 1964 will be engraved in the history of trade union movements in banking industry in golden letters.  It was on that auspicious day, a few fire-brand officers in Bank of Baroda came together under the banner of All India Bank of Baroda Officers Association (AIBOBOA), for protecting the rights of Officers in Bank of Baroda. 

 

In its five decades of  vibrant existence for the officers' cause, AIBOBOA has treaded a path filled with thorns of challenges and yet has emerged as a united force, exemplifying the sagacity of its leadership with sense of purpose for its members. This success has led the Association, to enter into its 59th year on 12th September 2022 as the sole body recognized by the management to represent issues concerning officers in the Bank. AIBOBOA had the foresight to evolve and espouse its distinct proactive philosophy of “GROW WITH THE BANK”. When many other trade unions were only painted in the militant mould of trade unionism, Association pursued its dual purpose of assiduously protecting the interests of its members and, at the same time, zealously working for the business development of the Bank. This unique philosophy of the Association coupled with its laurels from successive Bank managements has gone far for our involvement and contribution to the Bank's growth. The Association has been widely recognized and respected in the whole banking industry.

 

Our Association attained a totally different structure and ideology under Shri K.C. Chokshi & Late Sh. K.K.Nair its former General Secretaries whose contributions in the pre and post nationalisation era are lessons in successfully reaching at negotiated settlements. The stellar role played by Shri Chokshi & Sh. Nair in organizing officers on trade union lines, drawing the strategies and implementing the same in the times of turmoil resulting in the high esteem of its members and turning around their fortunes in many ways, will find a special place in the history of our Association.
