The Bank could ultimately locate such a suitable person in Sri Murthy and he stepped into the shoes of CEO on 7-7-2001. Undeterred by the formidable nature of the task, by sheer dint of confidence and diligence, with his cordial and amenable nature in dealing with others, he could easily accomplish the task assigned to him belying all doubts about his capability. He is the kingpin in the day-to-day operations of the Bank, is the architect who implements the policy decisions taken by the board from time to time, is the warden responsible for carrying-out and adhering to the instructions of RBI, Registrar of Coop Societies, Income Tax Department and other related Government agencies, is the bridge between employees and Management and is the chief correspondent of the bank. Due to his persistent hard work, the bank which was having only ten branches at the time of his taking charge, expanded to a net-work of 35 branches and progressing still further. The deposits which were at Rs.264 crores in 2001, rose to an incredible figure of Rs. 2119crores by Dec’14, and loan disbursements which were at Rs.188 crores augmented to a staggering Rs.1376crores by Dec’14. Without any formal education or training in management Sri Murthy crafted the Bank into one of the Biggest Banks in the Cooperative Sector to-day.
