Crumbling building, constant net problem, shortage of staff and above all the non-availability and absence of Branch Manager in State Bank of India (SBI) Kiphire Branch is severely curtailing the efficiency and working apparatus of SBI Kiphire. Its drawbacks and impact is felt by students, business establishment and the denizens of Kiphire. With the expanding population and medium of business becoming more electronic, the role of bank becomes indispensable. Off late, to insulate these pressing perils faced by the customers, nothing has been done by SBI authority to resuscitate the plight of SBI Kiphire.
The incumbent Branch Manager retired 3 Month back however, even after the lapsed of 3 month, new BM is yet to be posted to take charge, Incapacitating the normal functioning.
Blithely the head authority of SBI is not honouring their Tagline 'with you all the way' and the 'Banker to every India', while the economy of Kiphire takes a beating. Government of India has introduced various social welfare schemes designed to help the entrepreneur and elevate the economic conditions of the rural mass. As all central Schemes are directly routed through the Banks, in the absence of BM this crucial scheme get defeated and derail. Co-operate Social Responsibility (CSR) undertaken by SBI Kiphire is unknown, when SBI in other district is delinquently carrying out the same.
The game of Musical chair between customers goes uninterrupted daily inside SBI Kiphire as just 7 to 8 chair provided cannot comfort the butt of 50-60 customers daily and at times to 100. To address this problem Concern Authority should expedite the construction of its new office and shift at the earliest.
Further compounding the quagmire is the constant net breakdown, shortage of requisite staff and with just one ATM facility for the entire district it is compromising the quality service and business. To this Representation has been submitted to the Regional Head Office by the Joint Area Students Union(JASU), requesting concern authority top priority be accorded in addressing the need base issues. However it is still oblivious to the demand of the customers.
While this sacrilegious goes on unabated the most affected are the Students, entrepreneurs and citizens of Kiphire. This manufacture problem can be effectively tackled if more Sub-branches are open. As an ADC Headquarter there is also a need to open SBI Sub Branch in Seyochung Town so that villager from interior village can avail the service of bank without coming to Kiphire thus wasting money and time.
