With a heavy heart, we mourn the passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh, the revered former Prime Minister of India, who passed away at the age of 92 while undergoing treatment in the hospital. Dr. Singh served as the Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, leaving an indelible mark on the nation’s history.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was not just a leader but a beacon of integrity, wisdom, and statesmanship. His tenure was marked by significant economic reforms, robust growth, and enhanced global recognition for India. His visionary approach to economic policy, liberalization, governance, and social welfare laid the foundation for the country’s modern development.

His dedication to public service and his commitment to ethical leadership inspired countless individuals across all strata of society. Dr. Singh’s policies and initiatives have not only transformed the economic landscape of India but have also set a high standard for governance and public administration.

We are profoundly grateful for the legacy of ethical leadership and public service that Dr. Manmohan Singh leaves behind. His life and work continue to serve as a guiding light, inspiring us to strive for excellence and integrity in all our endeavors.

On behalf of the AIGETOA, we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh, the great and visionary leader of India. We pay our respectful homage to Dr. Singh, whose noble soul we hope finds eternal peace. May the nation continue to draw strength and inspiration from his exemplary life and contributions.

A Tribute from AIGETOA

With deep respect and heartfelt sorrow, we at AIGETOA, along with all BSNL employees, pay tribute to Shri Ratan Tata, a giant of Indian industry, a visionary leader, and a true patriot who dedicated his life to the advancement of our nation. His passing marks the end of an era, yet his contributions will forever illuminate the path forward for future generations.

Shri Ratan Tata’s leadership of the Tata Group was nothing short of transformative. Under his stewardship, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) became a global technology leader, symbolizing the true potential of Indian innovation. His unwavering commitment to India’s self-reliance resonates deeply with us at BSNL, especially in our joint endeavors with TCS in pioneering indigenous 4G and 5G technologies. Together, we strive to fulfill his vision of a technologically empowered and self-sufficient India.

Ratan Tata was more than just a corporate titan—his humility, compassion, and commitment to philanthropy defined him as a man who always prioritized the welfare of society over personal or corporate gains. His immense contributions to healthcare, education, and rural development have left a legacy that transcends business and touches the hearts of millions.

As we remember Shri Ratan Tata, we vow to carry forward his vision of a modern, innovative India. In collaboration with TCS, BSNL stands at the forefront of India’s technological advancements, honoring his dream of making India a leader in telecommunications and digital empowerment. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we build a future powered by indigenous technology, fostering Aatmanirbhar Bharat in every sense.

In the early 2000s, Tata Motors faced severe financial challenges and even considered selling its passenger car division to Ford. During a meeting, the Tata team reportedly faced humiliation from Ford executives. However, instead of giving up, Ratan Tata decided to withdraw the sale offer and turned Tata Motors around, eventually leading the company to global success with acquisitions like Jaguar Land Rover. This story of resilience mirrors BSNL’s own journey. Faced with immense challenges and doubts about its future, BSNL is now on the path to revival through the rollout of indigenous 4G and 5G, embodying the same spirit of perseverance and innovation that Ratan Tata exemplified.

May his soul rest in peace. We extend our deepest condolences to the Tata family and all those whose lives he touched.

Om Shanti.
