Mangalore, March 13: Five individuals were given the Lifetime Achievement Award by Corporation Bank in the city on Monday.
The recognition was part of the celebrations to mark the 107th Foundation Day of the Mangalore-based public sector bank. The bank was founded in Udupi by Khan Bahadur Haji Abdullah Haji Kasim Saheb Bahadur in 1906.
Individuals who received the awards were B.M. Hegde, physician and the former Vice-Chancellor, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (Deemed University) Manipal, Kadri Gopalnath, saxophone artiste, B.R. Shetty, entrepreneur, CEO and MD, New Medical Centre Group of Companies, Abu Dhabi, Ramana Rao, cardiologist and physician, and Ela Bhatt, founder, Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA). Ms. Bhatt was absent and was represented by another person from SEWA.
Dr. Hegde said that everyone's work matters in a bank. On victories and defeats, he said that one should treat triumphs and disasters equally as “imposters”. “The best pillow is a clear conscience,” he said.
Mr. Shetty said that he would help if Corporation Bank could take up the cause of refurbishing a hospital in Udupi. On the occasion, Ajai Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director, Corporation Bank, launched an application for Android tablets and smart phones. The application, once downloaded, will be able to inform the phone user about nearby branches and ATMs of the bank with a map.
Playback singer Krishnakumar Kunnath (KK) sang on the occasion.
