During the 6th All India Rajbhasha Conference held in Navi Mumbai, several Indian banks were recognized with Rajbhasha Kirti Puraskar awards for their efforts in implementing and promoting Hindi as the official language. In the initial reports, the Central Bank of India was awarded the first prize, known as the Rajbhasha Shield, while the Bank of India received the third prize in the category for nationalized banks and financial institutions with more than 800 employees. Subsequent reports noted that Union Bank of India secured the first prize in the ‘B’ linguistic category for its Hindi magazine, ‘Union Srijan’, and Indian Bank received the second prize for its performance in Rajbhasha implementation, marking its third consecutive year of recognition. Additionally, Indian Bank’s regional offices in Chennai, Kanchipuram, and Puducherry received ‘Narakas Rajbhasha Samman’ honors. Canara Bank also received two honors from the Department of Official Language during the conference. The bank’s quarterly in-house magazine, ‘Canara Jyothi’, was awarded the ‘Rajbhasha Kirti Puraskar’ (Second Prize) in the ‘C’ region. Furthermore, the Town Official Language Implementation Committee (Banks & Insurance), Bengaluru—which is convened by Canara Bank—received the ‘Sarvashreshta Puraskar’ under the ‘NARAKAS Protsahan Samman’ for its work in promoting the Hindi language.
