I am happy to learn that the Indian Overseas Bank (I0B), Chennai is celebrating its Platinum Jubilee in February, 2011. The horizon of banking in India has expanded over the years. Today the Indian banking industry is an active partner in the nation's progress. I am sure that the Indian Overseas Bank will continue its efforts to play a bigger role in the socio - economic development of the country as its economy and growth expand.
I extend my greetings and felicitations to all the staff members of the Bank and wish it continuing success in the years ahead.
