अरावली पहाड़ियों के लिए 'डेथ वारंट'...जानें किस कारण सोनिया गांधी ने मोदी सरकार को घेरा
#soniagandhiaravalliminingmodigovernmentenvironment_policy 


  


कांग्रेस संसदीय दल की प्रमुख सोनिया गांधी ने आरोप लगाया कि प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी के नेतृत्व वाली सरकार ने अरावली पहाड़ियों के लिए 'डेथ वारंट' जैसा कदम उठाया है। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि 100 मीटर से कम ऊंचाई वाली पहाड़ियों में खनन की छूट से अरावली पर्वतमाला को भारी नुकसान होगा। सोनिया गांधी ने अंग्रेजी दैनिक अखबार 'द हिंदू' के लिए लिखे एक लेख में इस बात का जिक्र किया कि अरावली के 100 मीटर से कम ऊंचाई वाले किसी भी क्षेत्र में खनन को छूट दे दी गई है।

‘डेथ वारंट' पर हस्ताक्षर जैसा
सोनिया गांधी ने कहा, गुजरात से लेकर राजस्थान और हरियाणा तक फैली अरावली पर्वतमाला ने लंबे समय से भारतीय भूगोल और इतिहास में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है। मोदी सरकार ने अवैध खनन से पहले ही बर्बाद हो चुकी इन पहाड़ियों के लिए अब लगभग ‘डेथ वारंट' पर हस्ताक्षर कर दिए हैं।

ये फैसला अवैध खननकर्ताओं-माफियाओं के लिए खुला निमंत्रण-सोनिया
सोनिया गांधी ने कहा, सरकार ने घोषणा की है कि 100 मीटर से कम ऊंचाई वाली कोई भी पहाड़ी खनन के खिलाफ कड़े प्रतिबंधों के अधीन नहीं है। यह फैसला अवैध खननकर्ताओं और माफियाओं के लिए खुला निमंत्रण है कि वे इस श्रृंखला के उस 90 प्रतिशत हिस्से का भी सफाया कर दें, जो सरकार द्वारा निर्धारित ऊंचाई सीमा से नीचे आता है।

सरकारी नीति में पर्यावरण की गहरी उपेक्षा- सोनिया 
पूर्व कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष ने आरोप लगाया कि सरकारी नीति निर्धारण में पर्यावरण के प्रति गहरी और निरंतर उपेक्षा व्याप्त है। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि राष्ट्रीय हरित अधिकरण को व्यवस्थित रूप से कमजोर कर दिया गया है, लेकिन अब उसके गौरवपूर्ण स्थान को बहाल किया जाना चाहिए और सरकारी नीति और दबाव से स्वतंत्र रूप से कार्य करने की अनुमति दी जानी चाहिए। 

साथ काम करने की आवश्यकता पर बल
सोनिया गांधी ने कहा, हमें पर्यावरणीय मामलों पर अधिक अंतर-सरकारी समन्वय के साथ काम करने की आवश्यकता है। एनसीआर में वायु प्रदूषण संकट के लिए भूजल यूरेनियम संदूषण मुद्दे की तरह ही एक संपूर्ण सरकारी दृष्टिकोण के साथ एक क्षेत्रीय दृष्टिकोण की आवश्यकता है। उन्होंने इस बात पर जोर दिया कि भारत की पर्यावरण नीतियों को कानून के शासन के प्रति सम्मान, स्थानीय समुदायों के खिलाफ नहीं बल्कि उनके साथ काम करने की प्रतिबद्धता और पर्यावरण व मानव विकास के बीच अटूट संबंध की समझ द्वारा निर्देशित किया जाना चाहिए। कांग्रेस नेता ने कहा, केवल ऐसे दृष्टिकोण के साथ ही हम स्वस्थ और सुरक्षित भारत निर्माण कर सकते हैं।

From Indian Air Force Aspirant to Global Startup Recognition: The Inspiring Journey of Rajasthan’s Young Entrepreneur Mr. Sunil Saharan
Today we are talking about a determined entrepreneur who once absented himself from a stable Indian Air Force job to chase his startup dream. After facing a tough failure in his first venture, his new tech startup has now earned a place in the prestigious Y Combinator Accelerator Program — one of the world’s top startup programs.
A Dream Beyond Uniforms: The Beginning Sunil Saharan, a young man from Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, began his professional life serving in the Indian Air Force in 2019. To many, a government service job like this is a dream of stability and pride. But Sunil Saharan carried a different kind of dream — a dream to create something meaningful for India’s tech future.
In 2022, driven by passion and urgency, Sunil took one of the boldest decisions of his life. He absented himself from his secure Air Force service to start his entrepreneurial journey. With little knowledge of what lay ahead, he founded his first Ed-Tech startup UPTOP, only to witness a harsh failure.
Crushed but Unshaken: The Struggle Phase Sunil Saharan was doing well in his career, but his desire to build something of value was stronger than a safe life. The journey he chose, however, was not easy. He worked tirelessly — 16 to 18 hours a day, seven days a week, yet nothing seemed to move in his favor.
Investors showed no interest in his Ed-Tech model, revenues dried up, and eventually he had to shut down all operations. It was a mentally, financially, and emotionally draining phase — a moment where most would quit.
But Sunil didn’t.
The Soldier Attitude: Rising Again With the spirit of a soldier who refuses to leave the battlefield, Sunil returned with a fresh mindset. He started building a new tech startup, again pouring in 16 to 18 hours every single day for an entire year without worrying about setbacks or opinions.
Slowly, results started to show. The company began securing strong corporate clients and generating traction. After three long years of struggle, sacrifice, and persistence, the breakthrough finally arrived — the startup was selected for the Y Combinator Accelerator Program, one of the most competitive and globally respected platforms for startups.
Being selected out of thousands of Indian startups is a massive milestone for any founder. For a 27-year-old from a small town in Rajasthan, this is nothing less than extraordinary.
What is Y Combinator? Y Combinator (YC) is a leading American startup accelerator and venture capital organization. Since inception, YC has helped launch over 5,000 companies, including globally recognized giants like Airbnb, Coinbase, Reddit, Instacart, Stripe, Twitch, Scale AI, Dropbox, and DoorDash.
YC offers seed funding, direct mentorship from industry leaders, and access to a highly influential global network of founders, investors, and partners. Joining YC is considered one of the greatest opportunities a young startup can achieve.
Future Vision: Empowering India’s Businesses with Tech Sunil envisions building technological solutions for India’s booming MSME sector. His mission is to bring smart tech and AI automation to millions of small and medium enterprises, helping them improve efficiency, reduce operational load, and grow faster using automation.
In simple words, he aims to democratize technology so that Indian businesses, no matter how small, can scale like global companies.
A Story of Courage, Failure & Comeback Sunil Saharan’s journey is more than a startup success story — it is a reminder that real entrepreneurship demands courage, sacrifice, and an unbreakable spirit. He walked away from a secure career, faced failure head-on, stood tall through loneliness, and rebuilt himself from scratch.
Today, his story stands as an inspiration to every young Indian who dares to dream beyond the ordinary.

बिहार में नई सरकार बनाने की कवायद तेज, मंत्रिमंडल का फॉर्मूला तय, जानें किस दल से कितने होंगे मंत्री?
#biharnewcabinetformulanda_government


  


बिहार में अब नई सरकार बनाने की कवायद तेज हो गई है। जेडीयू ने कल विधायक दल की बैठक बुलाई है। इसमें नीतीश कुमार को विधायक दल का नेता चुना जाएगा। कल यानी सोमवार को बीजेपी विधायक दल की भी बैठक हो सकती है। नीतीश कुमार 17 नवंबर को राज्यपाल को अपना इस्तीफा सौंपेंगे और इसी दिन नई सरकार बनाने का दावा भी पेश कर सकते हैं। सीएम हाउस के सूत्रों की मानें तो 20 नवंबर को नीतीश कुमार 10वीं बार सीएम पद की शपथ ले सकते हैं।

नई सरकार के गठन के कवायद के बीच सबसे बड़ा सवाल यही है- नई सरकार की कैबिनेट कैसी होगी और किस दल से कितने मंत्री शामिल किए जाएंगे?

मंत्रालयों के बंटवारे का फॉर्मूला तय
सूत्रों के मुताबिक, एनडीए के घटक दलों के बीच मंत्रालयों के बंटवारे पर प्राथमिक सहमति बन चुकी है। हालांकि अंतिम घोषणा से पहले मामूली फेरबदल की संभावना बनी हुई है। सूत्रों से मिले रिपोर्ट के अनुसार बिहार में एनडीए घटक से मंत्री बनाए जाने के लिए 6-1 का फॉर्मूला लागू किया जाएगा। यानी 6 विधायक पर एक मंत्री सरकार के मंत्री मंडल में शामिल हो सकते हैं। 

30-32 मंत्रियों का हो सकता है मंत्रिमंडल
सूत्रों की मानें तो इस बार 30-32 मंत्रियों का मंत्रिमंडल हो सकता है। इसमें जेडीयू और बीजेपी के बराबर-बराबर मंत्री हो सकते हैं। इनके अलावा चिराग पासवान की पार्टी को 3 मंत्री पद, जीतन राम मांझी और उपेंद्र कुशवाहा की पार्टी को एक-एक मंत्री पद मिल सकता है। विधानसभा के मौजूदा नंबर के हिसाब से बिहार में कुल 36 मंत्री बनाए जा सकते हैं।

किस दल के कितने मंत्री?
जदयू: सीएम नीतीश कुमार के अलावा 13-14 विधायक मंत्री बनाए जा सकते हैं।
बीजेपी: विधायकों की संख्या के आधार पर 15 से 16 मंत्रियों की संभावना है।
लोजपा (आर): चिराग पासवान की पार्टी से 3 मंत्री शामिल किए जा सकते हैं।
हम और रालोमो: इन दोनों दलों से एक–एक विधायक को मंत्रिमंडल में जगह मिल सकती है। 

फिर से दो डिप्टी सीएम बनाने की चर्चा
बिहार में एक बार फिर से दो डिप्टी सीएम बनाने की चर्चा है, लेकिन दोनों बीजेपी की जगह एक डिप्टी सीएम पद पर एलजेपी (R) भी दावेदारी कर रही है। फिलहाल कैमरे पर सीधे बोलने की बजाय वे दबी जुबान ये बातें कर रहे है। हालांकि, नीतीश कुमार सीएम होंगे तो डिप्टी सीएम कौन होगा ये बीजेपी ही तय करेगी।

An Inspiring Story of Shri Rashk Siddiqui who Emerged as a Game-Changing Leader in India’s Public Sector.


Rashk Siddiqui has become one of the most dynamic and outcome-oriented officers in the Indian public sector scene. Having an unparalleled reputation for thinking like a businessman, behaving like a bureaucrat, and speaking like a politician, he is well known for his exceptional delivery in whatever project he ventures into. He has earned a good reputation over the years as a man who believes in execution, not excuses – a very uncommon combination of strategy, discipline, and innovation that has seen him labelled as the Jugaad Man of PSUs.


Everything in his personal or professional life is based on three strong principles, namely honesty, politeness, and integrity. To Siddiqui, these are moral values but also qualities that make a great leader. According to those who have worked with him, he is very precise in clearing obstacles and also ensures that everything assigned to him, even the most complicated tasks, is done on time. One of the senior officials once said that Siddiqui is an asset to any organization he works with because of his commitment and brilliance of thought.


Talking to one of the previous Chairman and Managing Directors of TCIL, who did not want to be identified, it was stated that you set a target for him and leave it alone. He will find the best path and do it. Similar views were expressed by a senior bureaucrat of a state government who added that Siddiqui’s innovative approach has assisted various state governments in implementing national and state-level projects of significance, often becoming the interface between administrative intent and on-ground reality.
Siddiqui has had a big opportunity in his career in business development activities where he has distinguished himself by his keen knowledge of operations and stakeholder management. From conceptualizing bids to signing large Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with state governments at national and international levels, he has achieved major milestones that have helped strengthen bids in the PSU sector of India. It was remembered by one of the past directors of TCIL, who said, “He is a stage performer. I can scarcely recall any task that was delegated to him and never finished.”

Rashk Siddiqui has never liked to be in the limelight despite his achievements. People who are close to him normally refer to him as Vighna Harta, the destroyer of hindrances, because of his capacity to fix problems quickly and successfully. He has a work ethic that blends administrative discipline and creative problem-solving, and he is one of the few PSU officers who can be both bureaucratic and creative.

In addition to his professional engagements, Siddiqui is also known to have a human side to him. He has been a regular contributor to the campaign “Helping the Unhelped,” where he offers his time and resources to help the needy. His compassion and desire to do more than duty demands have earned him respect inside and outside professional circles. 

One of his colleagues in the organisation commented that Rashk is always praised amongst the colleagues to Motivate and extend “ A Good Human” or “ Bhai” vibe. He always extends his help amongst various colleagues to solve their professional and personal issues. He is a very popular name among and outside the organisation.

Throughout the course of his career, Rashk Siddiqui secured businesses with over five state governments and travelled more than half of the world, acquiring priceless global exposure that has shaped his leadership style. The fact that he was appointed as one of the key members of the protocol team at WTSA 2024 also added to his achievements. Indian hospitality, under the workmanship of Siddiqui, the Indian Government received great appreciation from the senior members of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations, and over fifty telecom ministers of the world.

Rashk Siddiqui has a rare intellect, humility, and execution excellence, which continue to benchmark the PSU ecosystem in India. His experience is a source of hope to many – a lesson that despite the order of public service, creativity and enthusiasm can transform the definition of success.

अरावली पहाड़ियों के लिए 'डेथ वारंट'...जानें किस कारण सोनिया गांधी ने मोदी सरकार को घेरा
#soniagandhiaravalliminingmodigovernmentenvironment_policy 


  


कांग्रेस संसदीय दल की प्रमुख सोनिया गांधी ने आरोप लगाया कि प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी के नेतृत्व वाली सरकार ने अरावली पहाड़ियों के लिए 'डेथ वारंट' जैसा कदम उठाया है। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि 100 मीटर से कम ऊंचाई वाली पहाड़ियों में खनन की छूट से अरावली पर्वतमाला को भारी नुकसान होगा। सोनिया गांधी ने अंग्रेजी दैनिक अखबार 'द हिंदू' के लिए लिखे एक लेख में इस बात का जिक्र किया कि अरावली के 100 मीटर से कम ऊंचाई वाले किसी भी क्षेत्र में खनन को छूट दे दी गई है।

‘डेथ वारंट' पर हस्ताक्षर जैसा
सोनिया गांधी ने कहा, गुजरात से लेकर राजस्थान और हरियाणा तक फैली अरावली पर्वतमाला ने लंबे समय से भारतीय भूगोल और इतिहास में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है। मोदी सरकार ने अवैध खनन से पहले ही बर्बाद हो चुकी इन पहाड़ियों के लिए अब लगभग ‘डेथ वारंट' पर हस्ताक्षर कर दिए हैं।

ये फैसला अवैध खननकर्ताओं-माफियाओं के लिए खुला निमंत्रण-सोनिया
सोनिया गांधी ने कहा, सरकार ने घोषणा की है कि 100 मीटर से कम ऊंचाई वाली कोई भी पहाड़ी खनन के खिलाफ कड़े प्रतिबंधों के अधीन नहीं है। यह फैसला अवैध खननकर्ताओं और माफियाओं के लिए खुला निमंत्रण है कि वे इस श्रृंखला के उस 90 प्रतिशत हिस्से का भी सफाया कर दें, जो सरकार द्वारा निर्धारित ऊंचाई सीमा से नीचे आता है।

सरकारी नीति में पर्यावरण की गहरी उपेक्षा- सोनिया 
पूर्व कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष ने आरोप लगाया कि सरकारी नीति निर्धारण में पर्यावरण के प्रति गहरी और निरंतर उपेक्षा व्याप्त है। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि राष्ट्रीय हरित अधिकरण को व्यवस्थित रूप से कमजोर कर दिया गया है, लेकिन अब उसके गौरवपूर्ण स्थान को बहाल किया जाना चाहिए और सरकारी नीति और दबाव से स्वतंत्र रूप से कार्य करने की अनुमति दी जानी चाहिए। 

साथ काम करने की आवश्यकता पर बल
सोनिया गांधी ने कहा, हमें पर्यावरणीय मामलों पर अधिक अंतर-सरकारी समन्वय के साथ काम करने की आवश्यकता है। एनसीआर में वायु प्रदूषण संकट के लिए भूजल यूरेनियम संदूषण मुद्दे की तरह ही एक संपूर्ण सरकारी दृष्टिकोण के साथ एक क्षेत्रीय दृष्टिकोण की आवश्यकता है। उन्होंने इस बात पर जोर दिया कि भारत की पर्यावरण नीतियों को कानून के शासन के प्रति सम्मान, स्थानीय समुदायों के खिलाफ नहीं बल्कि उनके साथ काम करने की प्रतिबद्धता और पर्यावरण व मानव विकास के बीच अटूट संबंध की समझ द्वारा निर्देशित किया जाना चाहिए। कांग्रेस नेता ने कहा, केवल ऐसे दृष्टिकोण के साथ ही हम स्वस्थ और सुरक्षित भारत निर्माण कर सकते हैं।

From Indian Air Force Aspirant to Global Startup Recognition: The Inspiring Journey of Rajasthan’s Young Entrepreneur Mr. Sunil Saharan
Today we are talking about a determined entrepreneur who once absented himself from a stable Indian Air Force job to chase his startup dream. After facing a tough failure in his first venture, his new tech startup has now earned a place in the prestigious Y Combinator Accelerator Program — one of the world’s top startup programs.
A Dream Beyond Uniforms: The Beginning Sunil Saharan, a young man from Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, began his professional life serving in the Indian Air Force in 2019. To many, a government service job like this is a dream of stability and pride. But Sunil Saharan carried a different kind of dream — a dream to create something meaningful for India’s tech future.
In 2022, driven by passion and urgency, Sunil took one of the boldest decisions of his life. He absented himself from his secure Air Force service to start his entrepreneurial journey. With little knowledge of what lay ahead, he founded his first Ed-Tech startup UPTOP, only to witness a harsh failure.
Crushed but Unshaken: The Struggle Phase Sunil Saharan was doing well in his career, but his desire to build something of value was stronger than a safe life. The journey he chose, however, was not easy. He worked tirelessly — 16 to 18 hours a day, seven days a week, yet nothing seemed to move in his favor.
Investors showed no interest in his Ed-Tech model, revenues dried up, and eventually he had to shut down all operations. It was a mentally, financially, and emotionally draining phase — a moment where most would quit.
But Sunil didn’t.
The Soldier Attitude: Rising Again With the spirit of a soldier who refuses to leave the battlefield, Sunil returned with a fresh mindset. He started building a new tech startup, again pouring in 16 to 18 hours every single day for an entire year without worrying about setbacks or opinions.
Slowly, results started to show. The company began securing strong corporate clients and generating traction. After three long years of struggle, sacrifice, and persistence, the breakthrough finally arrived — the startup was selected for the Y Combinator Accelerator Program, one of the most competitive and globally respected platforms for startups.
Being selected out of thousands of Indian startups is a massive milestone for any founder. For a 27-year-old from a small town in Rajasthan, this is nothing less than extraordinary.
What is Y Combinator? Y Combinator (YC) is a leading American startup accelerator and venture capital organization. Since inception, YC has helped launch over 5,000 companies, including globally recognized giants like Airbnb, Coinbase, Reddit, Instacart, Stripe, Twitch, Scale AI, Dropbox, and DoorDash.
YC offers seed funding, direct mentorship from industry leaders, and access to a highly influential global network of founders, investors, and partners. Joining YC is considered one of the greatest opportunities a young startup can achieve.
Future Vision: Empowering India’s Businesses with Tech Sunil envisions building technological solutions for India’s booming MSME sector. His mission is to bring smart tech and AI automation to millions of small and medium enterprises, helping them improve efficiency, reduce operational load, and grow faster using automation.
In simple words, he aims to democratize technology so that Indian businesses, no matter how small, can scale like global companies.
A Story of Courage, Failure & Comeback Sunil Saharan’s journey is more than a startup success story — it is a reminder that real entrepreneurship demands courage, sacrifice, and an unbreakable spirit. He walked away from a secure career, faced failure head-on, stood tall through loneliness, and rebuilt himself from scratch.
Today, his story stands as an inspiration to every young Indian who dares to dream beyond the ordinary.

बिहार में नई सरकार बनाने की कवायद तेज, मंत्रिमंडल का फॉर्मूला तय, जानें किस दल से कितने होंगे मंत्री?
#biharnewcabinetformulanda_government


  


बिहार में अब नई सरकार बनाने की कवायद तेज हो गई है। जेडीयू ने कल विधायक दल की बैठक बुलाई है। इसमें नीतीश कुमार को विधायक दल का नेता चुना जाएगा। कल यानी सोमवार को बीजेपी विधायक दल की भी बैठक हो सकती है। नीतीश कुमार 17 नवंबर को राज्यपाल को अपना इस्तीफा सौंपेंगे और इसी दिन नई सरकार बनाने का दावा भी पेश कर सकते हैं। सीएम हाउस के सूत्रों की मानें तो 20 नवंबर को नीतीश कुमार 10वीं बार सीएम पद की शपथ ले सकते हैं।

नई सरकार के गठन के कवायद के बीच सबसे बड़ा सवाल यही है- नई सरकार की कैबिनेट कैसी होगी और किस दल से कितने मंत्री शामिल किए जाएंगे?

मंत्रालयों के बंटवारे का फॉर्मूला तय
सूत्रों के मुताबिक, एनडीए के घटक दलों के बीच मंत्रालयों के बंटवारे पर प्राथमिक सहमति बन चुकी है। हालांकि अंतिम घोषणा से पहले मामूली फेरबदल की संभावना बनी हुई है। सूत्रों से मिले रिपोर्ट के अनुसार बिहार में एनडीए घटक से मंत्री बनाए जाने के लिए 6-1 का फॉर्मूला लागू किया जाएगा। यानी 6 विधायक पर एक मंत्री सरकार के मंत्री मंडल में शामिल हो सकते हैं। 

30-32 मंत्रियों का हो सकता है मंत्रिमंडल
सूत्रों की मानें तो इस बार 30-32 मंत्रियों का मंत्रिमंडल हो सकता है। इसमें जेडीयू और बीजेपी के बराबर-बराबर मंत्री हो सकते हैं। इनके अलावा चिराग पासवान की पार्टी को 3 मंत्री पद, जीतन राम मांझी और उपेंद्र कुशवाहा की पार्टी को एक-एक मंत्री पद मिल सकता है। विधानसभा के मौजूदा नंबर के हिसाब से बिहार में कुल 36 मंत्री बनाए जा सकते हैं।

किस दल के कितने मंत्री?
जदयू: सीएम नीतीश कुमार के अलावा 13-14 विधायक मंत्री बनाए जा सकते हैं।
बीजेपी: विधायकों की संख्या के आधार पर 15 से 16 मंत्रियों की संभावना है।
लोजपा (आर): चिराग पासवान की पार्टी से 3 मंत्री शामिल किए जा सकते हैं।
हम और रालोमो: इन दोनों दलों से एक–एक विधायक को मंत्रिमंडल में जगह मिल सकती है। 

फिर से दो डिप्टी सीएम बनाने की चर्चा
बिहार में एक बार फिर से दो डिप्टी सीएम बनाने की चर्चा है, लेकिन दोनों बीजेपी की जगह एक डिप्टी सीएम पद पर एलजेपी (R) भी दावेदारी कर रही है। फिलहाल कैमरे पर सीधे बोलने की बजाय वे दबी जुबान ये बातें कर रहे है। हालांकि, नीतीश कुमार सीएम होंगे तो डिप्टी सीएम कौन होगा ये बीजेपी ही तय करेगी।

Rashk Siddiqui has become one of the most dynamic and outcome-oriented officers in the Indian public sector scene. Having an unparalleled reputation for thinking like a businessman, behaving like a bureaucrat, and speaking like a politician, he is well known for his exceptional delivery in whatever project he ventures into. He has earned a good reputation over the years as a man who believes in execution, not excuses – a very uncommon combination of strategy, discipline, and innovation that has seen him labelled as the Jugaad Man of PSUs.


Everything in his personal or professional life is based on three strong principles, namely honesty, politeness, and integrity. To Siddiqui, these are moral values but also qualities that make a great leader. According to those who have worked with him, he is very precise in clearing obstacles and also ensures that everything assigned to him, even the most complicated tasks, is done on time. One of the senior officials once said that Siddiqui is an asset to any organization he works with because of his commitment and brilliance of thought.


Talking to one of the previous Chairman and Managing Directors of TCIL, who did not want to be identified, it was stated that you set a target for him and leave it alone. He will find the best path and do it. Similar views were expressed by a senior bureaucrat of a state government who added that Siddiqui’s innovative approach has assisted various state governments in implementing national and state-level projects of significance, often becoming the interface between administrative intent and on-ground reality.
Siddiqui has had a big opportunity in his career in business development activities where he has distinguished himself by his keen knowledge of operations and stakeholder management. From conceptualizing bids to signing large Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with state governments at national and international levels, he has achieved major milestones that have helped strengthen bids in the PSU sector of India. It was remembered by one of the past directors of TCIL, who said, “He is a stage performer. I can scarcely recall any task that was delegated to him and never finished.”

Rashk Siddiqui has never liked to be in the limelight despite his achievements. People who are close to him normally refer to him as Vighna Harta, the destroyer of hindrances, because of his capacity to fix problems quickly and successfully. He has a work ethic that blends administrative discipline and creative problem-solving, and he is one of the few PSU officers who can be both bureaucratic and creative.

In addition to his professional engagements, Siddiqui is also known to have a human side to him. He has been a regular contributor to the campaign “Helping the Unhelped,” where he offers his time and resources to help the needy. His compassion and desire to do more than duty demands have earned him respect inside and outside professional circles. 

One of his colleagues in the organisation commented that Rashk is always praised amongst the colleagues to Motivate and extend “ A Good Human” or “ Bhai” vibe. He always extends his help amongst various colleagues to solve their professional and personal issues. He is a very popular name among and outside the organisation.

Throughout the course of his career, Rashk Siddiqui secured businesses with over five state governments and travelled more than half of the world, acquiring priceless global exposure that has shaped his leadership style. The fact that he was appointed as one of the key members of the protocol team at WTSA 2024 also added to his achievements. Indian hospitality, under the workmanship of Siddiqui, the Indian Government received great appreciation from the senior members of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations, and over fifty telecom ministers of the world.

Rashk Siddiqui has a rare intellect, humility, and execution excellence, which continue to benchmark the PSU ecosystem in India. His experience is a source of hope to many – a lesson that despite the order of public service, creativity and enthusiasm can transform the definition of success.
