PNB Enhances Transparency and Digital Governance with New Initiatives
Imagine your piggy bank, but for a whole bank called PNB.
They want to make sure everyone working there is honest and follows the rules.
So, they launched new rulebooks and a special magazine to help everyone understand how to be good helpers.
They also made some of their paperwork digital, like using a computer instead of lots of paper, to make things faster and clearer.
They even have a special system to check if employees are doing their jobs right and a new tool for helping street vendors with their money.
To celebrate being honest, they had a big 'integrity pledge' where lots of people promised to be truthful.
They also recognized employees who are super good examples.
The bank's leaders believe being honest helps the whole country grow and that using technology makes everything work better and more openly.
PNB launched the 5th Edition of 'PNB’s Vigilance Manual 2025' and its quarterly magazine 'PNB Vigil' during a visit by Central Vigilance Commissioner Praveen Kumar Srivastava.
The bank introduced a fully digitized Staff Accountability Portal, a Conduct Risk Framework for employees, and a digital tool for the PM SVANidhi scheme.
PNB recognized employees as 'Vigilance Warriors' for their dedication to ethics and the bank's values.
Vigilance Awareness Week included a nationwide integrity pledge, awareness drives, and various employee participation activities.
PNB highlighted its zero pending vigilance complaints and commitment to ethical, sustainable growth.
