It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we inform you of the sudden and untimely passing of Shri K. S. Sheshadri, Deputy General Secretary of NFTE (BSNL). He left us unexpectedly this morning at 4:00 am at Jhansi Medical College. Shri Sheshadri was traveling by train to Delhi to attend the Wage Revision Committee meeting scheduled for 3:00 pm on 23rd October 2024. During the journey, before reaching Jhansi, he experienced severe discomfort. The railway personnel assisted him out of the coach and took him to Jhansi Medical College and Hospital, where he sadly breathed his last at around 4:00 AM.

AIGETOA CHQ prays to the almighty to provide his family with sufficient strength and courage to tide over the crisis and for bearing this irreparable loss. We also pray so that the eternal soul rests in peace.

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.
