From there, the governor will head for Jalpaiguri. On Friday, he will visit a unit of the Missionaries of Charity and the State Bank of India branch in Jalpaiguri.

“In 1977, he joined SBI as a probationary officer and worked in the Jalpaiguri branch and also in Kolkata. The same year he qualified in the IAS exam,” said a source

After many years, the governor will visit his old workplace.

Sources in SBI said the Jalpaiguri branch was housed in an old building in 1977. “The old building is still there, next to the one where the bank operates from now,” said a source.

Bank officials inspected the branch on Wednesday. The old building and its furniture have been cleaned and painted afresh, one of them said.
