He said, “Despite challenges, it has been a success story for the bank all the while. Consistently, the bank has been making profits since 2005 and has been declaring unbroken profits for the past 16 years. Our regulators are proud of us and continuously make us a point of reference. The society is also happy because people are benefitting from our existence.”
