Indian Overseas Bank Celebrates 12th International Day of Yoga

Chennai, June 21, 2026: Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) marked the 12th International Day of Yoga today at its Central Office in Chennai and across its Regional Offices nationwide. The celebrations centred on this year’s global theme, “Yoga for Healthy Ageing,” which highlights how yoga helps people stay active, mobile, and independent well into their later years.

The bank held the sessions to encourage employees to make yoga part of their routine, easing daily stress and building the kind of physical and mental fitness that holds up over a long career.

Shri Ajay Kumar Srivastava, Managing Director & CEO of Indian Overseas Bank, led the central session at the Bank’s Central Office in Chennai. Executive Directors, senior officials, and staff members joined him for the guided yoga session.

Speaking at the event, Shri Ajay Kumar Srivastava, MD & CEO,said, “A bank that is close to 90 years old understands what it takes to stay strong for the long run, and that seamlessly aligns with this year’s theme of Yoga for Healthy Ageing. Careers in banking run long, and we want our people to feel as sharp and energetic in their later years as they do today. A few minutes on the mat each morning is an investment that keeps paying off for decades.”

The celebration reflects IOB’s continued focus on building a workplace where employee health and well-being have a real place in everyday life.

    Chennai:  Sai University has come under judicial scrutiny after the Madras High Court directed the institution to furnish a bank guarantee before mediation could proceed in a dispute concerning unpaid dues to a local Tamil Nadu based food services vendor.  The dispute relates to payments allegedly owed for food supplied to students. According to the court proceedings, the vendor contended that although food charges had been collected from students, payments remained outstanding for several months. Taking note of the matter, the High Court directed that mediation would proceed only after the university furnished a bank guarantee securing the disputed amount.  The case has brought renewed attention to governance practices at the university, which has previously faced controversy over issues relating to land acquisition. The latest proceedings suggest that questions surrounding institutional governance continue to attract public and judicial attention.  The existing catering contract was subsequently terminated, with the food services reportedly being awarded to Compass Group, a British multinational food services company.  The matter has also drawn attention within the food services industry, where concerns have been raised over the financial impact that delayed payments can have on local suppliers. Reports indicate that certain vendors and logistics providers had earlier protested over alleged payment delays.  Representatives of the university could not be reached for comment.  Governance Under the Spotlight  The case has once again highlighted the importance of governance standards in India’s higher education sector. Universities are expected to uphold the highest standards of transparency, financial discipline and ethical conduct, given the trust reposed in them by students, parents, employees and business partners. As India seeks to build globally respected educational institutions, governance must become as important as academic excellence. Timely honouring of contractual obligations, responsible financial management and institutional accountability are essential to preserving confidence in the country’s education system and ensuring that universities remain exemplars of integrity rather than subjects of avoidable legal disputes.
