The Bank Of India today felicitated its officer and World Boxing Champion Nikhat Zareen at the bank's zonal office in the PTI Building.
On her maiden visit to the zonal office after winning the gold medal in the World Boxing Tournament in Turkey, she was received warmly by all staff members.
Zareen had an elaborate felicitation ceremony where she was greeted by Vivekanand Dubey, General Manager, NBG South II; and Suvendu Kumar Behera, Zonal Manager, Telangana Zone.
All staff members said gushy things about her, and Zareen reciprocated expressing her gratitude to the organization for supporting her in the journey since the day she was appointed in the Bank in May 2021.
She thanked everyone for standing by her side in the ups and downs of her professional career.
"It is a really iconic moment for the Bank Of India as its own officer has won a gold medal for the country in boxing for the first time in history. In the recent past, the bank has recruited a good number of sportspersons, and has been encouraging them to excel in their own spheres. Archer Akula Ravali has also been posted in the Telangana zone, and we expect many more laurels in the future," the bank officials said.
