2007
New Delhi, April 14, 2008
| Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) of Steel
Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has won the prestigious
Rajiv Gandhi National Quality Award for the year 2007. V.K.
Srivastava, BSL Managing Director, received the coveted
'Best of all awards for achieving excellence of the
highest order among all participants', from Yashwant Bhave,
Secretary, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public
Distribution, Government of India, at a glittering
ceremony held in New Delhi last evening. BSL also became
the first recipient of the cash reward of Rs. 5 lakh,
which was introduced as part of the Rajiv Gandhi National
Award in the evaluation year 2007. |

BSL acquitted itself with honours on the rigorous
evaluation criteria established for these awards, covering the
nine parameters of Leadership, Policies, Objectives &
Strategies, Human Resource Management, Resources, Processes,
Customer-focussed Results, Employee Satisfaction, Impact on
Environment & Society and Business Results. These criteria are
in line with similar awards in other countries like the
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in the USA, Deming
Prize in Japan and the European Quality Award. All these
annual awards evaluate performance of organisations during a
financial year.
Instituted in 1991 by the Bureau of Indian Standards, Rajiv
Gandhi National Awards recognise leaders of the quality
movement in India and encourage the pursuit of excellence in
various categories of business. RGNQ awards comprise a 'Best
of all award', followed by four Category awards and a series
of Commendation certificates.
The 2006 edition of this award was won by Bhilai Steel Plant -
another unit of SAIL - making it a back-to-back success story
for the steel Navratna. For BSL, the overall best award
follows the commendation certificate won last year, bearing a
testimony to the steady progress of the plant in its journey
of Quality.
