-
Rourkela, Jan 1: “We should be in the driver’s seat and not in driven seat. We should control the situation and the situation should not control us,” emphasised G S Prasad, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) while interacting with the employees of various departments during his visit to various units of the steel plant to convey his greetings to the employees on the occasion of New Year.

He expressed confidence that the New Year will be even better than the past year and RSP will be touching new peaks of excellence in production as well as profitability in the year 2015. “Each employee has to make an effort to catapult RSP to the next orbit,” he stressed.

It is worth mentioning here that the CEO along with Umesh Kumar, ED (MM), MK Das, ED (Projects), SK Acharya, ED (Projects), Ashwini Kumar, ED (Works) and other senior officers visited all the major units of the Plant and the Township. The employees reciprocated their wishes with immense warmth and respect.

The CEO also inaugurated ‘Swagat Udyan’ a beautiful garden developed at the entrance of the Administration Block under the Amar Bagicha- Paryavaran Chakra scheme.

In his message to the RSP collective on the occasion of New Year the CEO has said, “I have always believed that ‘Past is history and Future is about creation of history’. The challenges that we face in the year 2014 were substantial, but our achievements were no less significant. We have started a tapasya (worship) to make our Steel Plant the best in every way, be it quality, quantity, cost effectiveness or competitiveness and also a harbinger of progress and prosperity for the entire region.”

“We can’t take a break till we achieve the desired results. Today 365 blank pages have been spread before us. Let’s decide, what should we record in these pages and how these pages should be counted in the history of RSP- as ordinary papers carrying mundane data or a thriving saga of courage, conviction and commitment- the choice is ours. ”
