I cordially welcome you to this Webpage, which serves to my valued visitors as the Front Office with Reception Counter of my Website, ever eager to share with you all information regarding this initiative of mine.

This is the Personal Website of R.Kannan, a retired bank executive settled at Hyderabad, India, after 40 years of service in various parts of the country in varied positions. The Site portrays a vivid description of his career-long crusade against corporate corruption in a premier Nationalised Bank in the country that he served. This is the first objective of the site, i.e. sharing his unique experiences in personal life with all. Needless to point out that the site primarily is aimed as a relentless crusade against corporate corruption. Such crusade is not the end, but the means for securing better corporate governance of the banking institutions of our country.

The second objective is to organise bank officers to withstand and further to carry out fearlessly and candidly their functions and duties, despite being encircled in a polluted environment of today's public services, with controlling elements, some of whom are not with purer or sober intentions. What are the resources for self-preservation in a corporate world, mixed with threats and opportunities? What particularly are the inputs for talent building to meet the threats, and what are the inner qualities that will help to identify and tap all the emerging opportunities?

By way of answer for the second objective, the site describes Mr.Kannan's programme for his life after retirement (since 1996), and his present schedule of activities; his keen interest in literary pursuits, in particular on projects related to Banking, Finance and Management as his choice areas - all relevant to Bank officers, both serving and retired. His lead project is titled "Integrity in Public Life and Service". There are various other projects of interest to one devoted to a career in a bank,- all listed with direct links provided in the table of content, for which direct link is provided in the bar at the beginning.

In a candid Message, that Mr.Kannan delivers to his fellow bankmen currently in service, he aptly questions them - "When You Are Honest, Can you Always Consider Yourselves Safe and Secure with Confidence?". He then describes the pitfalls in the current day Public Services and the necessary safeguards that one should adhere to.

The site also deals vividly with the current day problems of the Indian Banking Scenario and more particularly analyses thread-bare the raging problem of NPA (Non Productive Assets) presently suffered by several Indian Banks. The impact of globalisation on Indian Banking, the advent of adoption of Basel Committee Norms and realisation of the need for observing bonafide corporate governance for redeeming Indian Banking to its fullest glory, are other subjects that find a place.

The site also includes his ambition for the realization of a cherished dream, i.e. coming out with the pioneering initiative of organising a Learning Circle to promote an interest in continuing education in the minds of working Bank employees to keep us all more competent to deliver, what we are called upon to, in the future banking of global dimension.

Of special interest to bank officers, in particular, is the literature on Departmental Inquiry, both for conducting such inquiries and for defending there-against. Detailed profile for the role each officer connected with a departmental inquiry is furnished. The legal supplement ("Knowledge of Law Essential for Public Servants") including the chapters on 'Safeguards & Remedies" describes the avenues open to a public Servant put on trial. This and the chapters on "Crime and Punishment" will be of use to build knowledge resources to those officers who desire to specialise as Defence Assisting Officers.

This is in brief or a nutshell. To Know more about me and these programmes, please visit the different web-sites, as listed with links provided in the margin to the left for quick access.

The various projects and other contents of this web site carry a unity of purpose and a commonness of theme. They are all inter-linked logically with each other. You will find inter-programme hyper-links a very common feature. When you view a particular programme you will be suggested to move(jump) to another web-page for more detailed information on the topic on hand. How and why these projects and other material are chosen to be included in this web-site; how they serve to make a synthetic whole to contribute towards displaying the path towards welfare of Bank officers; how welfare of Bank officers could make Indian Banking vibrant and powerful and in turn how all these would provide for the progress and well being of the entire society - these issues are more lucidly explained in detail in the web page Content Management.

There is also provision for sending your feedback (either bouquets or brickbats). Either of these will be of immense benefit for improving the site and would be greatly valued by me.
