A high level delegation of SNEA felicitated and congratulated Shri. Rajeev Soni CGM EW BSNL CO on successful completion of prolonged 37 years of services in DoT and BSNL and his superannuation retirement on 31/03/2026.
Shri. Rajeev Soni, CGM deserves highest appreciation and such a special Felicitation due to his lifelong devoted and dedicated services for DoT/ BSNL and its workforce.
BSNL family as whole and specially we SNEA recognize his great support to BSNL Executives in the most difficult time of BSNL. He was given responsibility of CGM EW BSNL CO in an extremely difficult situation of BSNL, and with change in managerial position instead of improvement, the situation downgraded day by day. But he sustained all pressure and made all out efforts for the support of Executives in the Electrical wing in particular and executives and employees of other wings in general.
We have witnessed his special support to each and every Executive in Electrical wing and it is highly appreciable that he was knowing majority of Executives in Electrical wing by name and with their problems & difficulties and this makes him different and special from all other officers at such level.
His positive, balanced and till commendable role as Chairman of the Wage Negotiation Committee will be always remembered and will be surely written in golden letters in history of BSNL as he has completed the herculean task of signing Wage Negotiation Agreement.
We have seen his proactive working for executives of Electrical wing and his passion for Promotions of JTOs in Electrical wing and passion for Third PRC implementation.
Very shortly, the JTOs in Electrical wing will get their overdue first SDE promotion after 27 years and this is possible just because of very positive and firm steps taken by Shri Rajeev Soni as CGM EW BSNL CO.
Executives in Electrical wing have seen him as Oasis in dessert and they will surely miss their leader at top. It was really toughest time for Executives in Electrical wing but he made it bearable to many executives in Electrical wing and we really mean it.
His contribution in the field off Energy Conservation, Operation Samudra Manthan and in implementing Oorja Portal & automation of pan India energy payment system to DISCOM during his tenure was superb. BSNL has saved revenue around Rs. 1000 Crore through savings of energy cost during his tenure periods as CGM EW which is itself an outstanding & remarkable achievement.
On this great occasion of superannuation Retirement after highly successful, long and spotless services, SNEA congratulated and felicitated him for his excellent, dedicated and devoted services in DoT as well as BSNL and for support extended to BSNL workforce.
On behalf of thousands of members of SNEA all over India in general and the Electrical wing in particular, we wish Shri Rajeev Soni, CGM EW BSNL CO, a very Happy, Healthy, Wealthy and Prosperous long retired life.
