To further strengthen its top management, J&K Bank has made elevations in the top management by promoting six Presidents to the level of Senior President, a company statement said. The orders to this effect were issued by Mushtaq Ahmad, Chairman & CEO on Thursday.

Describing bank’s human capital as the biggest asset, Chairman said, “In our endeavour to value and recognize the contribution of human resource, we have been constantly creating opportunities to present a promising growth path to our human resource across all levels.”
