CENTRALBK

It was established in the year 1911 with the vision of Sir Sorabji Pochkhanawala. And out of 29 states, the CBI has its presence in at least 27 states and four union territories which makes it a network of 3656 branches and other 178 extension counters. It was also the first Indian commercial Bank which was wholly owned and managed by only Indians. Also, the establishment of this Bank was the ultimate realization or aim of the dream of Sir Sorabji Pochkhanawala, the one who was the founder of the Bank. Then, Sir Pherozesha Mehta also became the first Chairman of a truly 'Swadeshi Bank.' And this was the extent of pride which was felt by the Sir Sorabji Pochkhanawala that he proclaimed the Central Bank of India as the 'property of the nation and one of the country's asset.' He also said that 'Central Bank of India lives on people's faith and their regards itself as the people's bank.' Soon in 2008, the Central Bank of India also entered into a distribution tie-up with the Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company. According to this agreement, it will offer the entire products of the Kotak Mutual Fund products from the Bank's particular branches. The Central Bank of India also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with WMG, and even with an Academic Department located at the University of Warwick. The MOU also provides several areas of cooperation which include any provision of the fast–track loans for Indian students who are studying at the WMG and the building of cooperative relationships between the UK and the Indian business and also the development of a comparatively low-cost housing project. Among such Public Sector Banks, the Central Bank of India is indeed described as an All India Bank, as it has the distribution of its extensive network in which 27 out of 29 States and 3 out of 7 Union Territories of India are included. This Bank holds a very prominent place among the other Public Sector Banks if we keep in account its network of 3656 branches and 178 extension counters at various centers across India.
