Superlative persona


Shri Sandip Ghose has carved a niche for himself in the annals of RBI history. If any single Officer of the Bank who can be credited to have greatly contributed to the culture, values, motivation and morale of the staff members and its customers and thereby the society at large, it is none other than Shri Ghose. I had the privilege of being associated with him for some time and I must unhesitatingly say that he is one of the very few individuals in the Bank with superlative caliber, leadership and vision. Even though he could not become an ED or DG, Shri Ghose has earned a name that exalts him much above the rank. Awards are recognition of one's achievements, but more than that Shri Ghose will be welcomed, received and treated royally by majority of RBIites even after his retirement. Now, that is something many of our senior Officers may not be confident of receiving post-retirement. It is anybody's guess how many senior Officers would receive such a treatment. Though it is too early to wish him a happy retired life I may assure him that he has earned a lot of blessings and prayers from staff members and their families during his service in the Bank. I am sure that those prayers will stand him in good stead in his next innings. May God bless him and his family.
