India’s parliamentary power was never entirely numerical. By giving voice to regions, federalism turned India into a nation. Now that national coherence is threatened by a purely numerical principle.
The home of 2-year-old Guru Vishnu, stampede's youngest victim, stands as a quiet reminder. His family, which has now moved homes, did not wish to speak on the politics or 'Vijay factor'.
Trump's goal of ending the Iranian nuclear programme cannot be accomplished without overthrowing the Islamic regime in Iran, which is likely not possible without a ground invasion.
In March 2020, Prashant Kumar took over as CEO & MD overseeing YES Bank reconstruction. He was ably supported by veteran banker Sunil Mehta, CA Atul Bheda & consultant Mahesh Krishnamurti.
The sprawling new Noida campus of ASI’s storied Institute of Archaeology was supposed to be a monument to new India. Seven years on, there's barely anyone to use it.
Bharat Bhushan had quit his job in the IT sector to help set up his wife’s clinic. The trip to Pahalgam last April was a family vacation before the move.
Dubai-based accountant from Jaipur who liked fine things in life and a 16-year-old from Bhavnagar who wanted to join the Army were among those killed in Pahalgam terror attack.
From Abdon Mech opening for John Mayer to Moko Koza's Paatal Lok track ‘Aladdin’, Nagaland's musicians are coming of age. Original sound, indie labels, and state backing are making it a 'land of music'.
Share of trade with FTA partners rose from 4.6% in 2006 to 28.8% in 2024. India is currently negotiating or advancing agreements with US, Israel, GCC, Canada & Mexico.
American objectives are unmet. They neither have muscle nor motivation to resume the war. As for Iran, the regime didn’t just survive, it’s now led by more radical individuals.
The FM is understood to have recently asked the PSB’s to concentrate on Core Banking. How could their top management still insist on dealing with non-banking issues like insurance?
It gets incumbent upon the Bank staff unions to take up the matter with IBA in right earnest. Mind you, there is a concept of Diminishing Marginal Utility in Economics, beyond which negative fall outs of any further streching beyond the optimum level are bound to usher in. So bank management should better watch out and let them get real before it gets too late. Perhaps, PSBs could hardly match the work culture of Private Sector Banks,.
Thank you so much for highlighting the critical and sensitive issues facing PSBs and their employees. Staff shortages are a key driver of rising pressures, leading to a decline in decision-making quality and services. Grateful for your coverage @ThePrintIndia.
Worked with ICICI Bank as Probationary Officer (Dy. Manager I) for over three years. Was posted at Satellite Branch in Ahmedabad.
The pressure was insane. Humiliation and insults from the management (Cluster Branch Manager, Regional Head, Zonal Head) was part of the day. At times, then RH, Mr. Rajesh Patel, would openly threaten us with termination and transfer to remote rural branches.
Every single day we were coerced into selling life insurance products. Life insurance and mutual funds made our life hell. The targets were totally unrealistic.
Had to report at branch at 8:30am sharp. Could get out of the branch only after 9pm. At times at 11pm.
I can count on my fingers the number of days when I could leave the branch before 9pm.
Pathetic management. Toxic work culture.
Thank God I got out of that hell!
