Assam: New Executive Director Rahul Prashant assumes office in Digboi AOD

OUR CORRESPONDENT

DIGBOI: Rahul Prashant succeeded Ajay Kaila and assumed the office of the Executive Director & Refinery Head here at Digboi Refinery in Tinsukia district of Upper Assam on Monday.

Prashant had formally joined Digboi Refinery on January 31 but took the charge from his predecessor on February 3. A graduate in Electrical Engineering from Bhagalpur College of Engineering, Bhagalpur, Prashant had joined the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd in 1994 as an electrical engineer in Gujarat Refinery, states an AOD press communique.

According to a formal communication from the Assam Oil Division (AOD) Corporate Communication department, with over 30 years of experience in the oil refining sector, Prashant brings to the table a rich and diverse experience garnered from working in different refineries of Indian Oil.

Besides his experiences in critical areas of Power & Utility and Engineering Services, his high skill in Commissioning, Petroleum, EPC, SME, and Petrochemical is worth noting. To quote his predecessor Kaila, the AOD has no doubt made some commendable achievements in implementing CSR projects and other areas. At the same time, Kaila’s administration had to confront the perpetual agitations of the contractual labour unions on various issues.

The most noteworthy of the AOD management during Kaila’s term in Digboi is the unconditional roll-back of the corporation tender involving several vehicles a couple of months back after mass local agitations against the outside vendors who had qualified. People in Digboi expressed that Kaila could have delivered well, had he not been posted elsewhere.

Kaila was a down to earth leader of the corporation and very well-related to the people of Digboi who had visions and plans to implement for the greater interest of Digboi and its people.
