of Bad loan defaulters published by AIBEA he played major role. He had the honor of signing
8
th & 9th bipartite settlements for bank men. Under his leadership, struggle against the
merger of Associate Banks under the banner of SSBEA was tremendous and part of the
golden history of AIBEA. Role of Com. N.K Gaur in nourishing, strengthening and building up
the bank employees' movement under the banner of AIBEA will always be remembered as a
golden part the history of our movement. His death is a big loss to all of us.
