Mr. Manohar Maski is one of the chief promoters of
the Bank. He is the Chairman of the Bank since its
inception. Born in Maski, he did his Bachelor of Arts
in Raichur and became a social worker of Akhil Baharatiya
Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the leading student organisation.
He worked in Shimoga and Chickmagalur Districts. He
started the first Kannada Daily in Sindhanur. Soon,
he developed a team of young activists who were keen
to do something big and constructive. Their concerted
effort resulted in establishing Janatha Bazar, a cooperative
body, in 1989. The Janatha Bazar is the ONLY profit-making
organization of its kind in Karnataka State. The success
of Janatha Bazar made the team to dream still big.
The result was Suco Bank, which began its operations
in May 1995. The Bank grew leaps and bounds in terms
of innovative services. It is worthy to note that
a dozen such urban cooperative banks were established
in Raichur and Bellary districts, taking a leaf out
of Suco Bank's Success.
Mr. Maski is now CEO, Karnataka
Cooperative Urban Banks' Federation Limited, the apex
body of the Urban cooperative Banks of Karnataka State.
He is also the Vice-Chairman of the newly constituted
National Yuva Cooperative, a new initiative by the
Central Government. He is also the South India head
of Sahakara Bharati, a social organisation for cooperatives.
Mr. Maski was instrumental in the establishment of
Karnataka State Souharda Federal Cooperative Limited,
for which he became the elected Chairman in 2001.He
has a five-year term. He tours through the length
and breadth of the State, organising cooperatives,
sharing with them the new technological advances and
trends.
