Com. CHQ President Shri
K. Satyanarayana in his address pointed
out that Gujarat is flourishing in whole
India while BSNL Gujarat is not keeping
that much pace. He also said that there
is lack of accountability, co-ordination
and team work to have super-vision and
supervision. He also pointed out that we
should look inside ourselves and do
brain storming to analyse and find out
our lacunas and rectify it to ensure
BSNL's viability. He described in
detail the need of ITS's absorption.
Further he said that BSNL should be set
its own rules and regulations in line
with its PSU status. He informed the

restructuring to reform and streamline

Com. Prahlad Rai G.S
explained in detail various issues
concerned with the viability of BSNL. He
expressed, BSNL is A Government of India
undertaking and that Administrative
Ministry, despite of being the owner of
the BSNL is not fully supporting the
BSNL by deciding policies against the
interest of BSNL. He also pointed that
inordinate delays in the unit of GM [Pers]
in BSNL Corporate Offices in finalizing
various pending issues pertaining to the
Executives i.e. DPC from DE to DGM,
regularization 2400 DE adhoc, DPC from
SDE Telecom. To DE (Adhoc), DPC from JTO
(Telecom.) to SDE (Telecom) as the
Telecom. /Delay in implementing ACP

transfers, revision of ADOL Pay scale,
change of designation on time bound
promotion, creation of PPS post, common
RR for BSNL Corporate Office and field
units PA/PS, regulations of JTOs
officiating, removal of pay anomaly of

Direct Recruitee JAOs/JTOs who want to
leave the BSNL on getting better
prospective in other organizations, non-finalisation
of Absorption of ITS Officers etc. .He
emphasized on various aspects of the
Pitroda Committee which are negatively
affecting the interest of BSNL and
Executives and staff of the BSNL. He
elaborated the consequences likely to be
faced by BSNL if Sam Pitroda Committee
report is implemented, particularly 30%
disinvestment of BSNL, scrapping of 93
million BSNL line tender, unbundling of
BSNL copper conductor, allowing inter
circle roaming on BSNLs network to
private operators etc. He demanded that
Government should immediately discuss
all the recommendations with BSNL
unions/associations before its
implementation. He also informed the
gathering that he already met the
Secretary, DOT in this regard and
conveyed resentment. He appealed all
the executives to get ready
organizationally to defeat the ulterior
motives of the Government as well as
BSNL members against their wrong
policies.
Shri R.K. Mishra, G.M. (Pers),
Corporate Office in his address
requested the Executives not to
approach any court for resolving
individual issues as this may adversely
effect the interest of more executives.
He informed that about 247 court cases
are pending in various Courts. He
further requested the executives that
not to approach any court henceforth.
In case of any issues, this may be
resolved through Association as
Associations are in very much touch with
the management and acting positively for
their members and in turn the
administration is also helping the
association to resolve the same. He
also advised to all Executives to visit
their Personal Data in My HR and make
necessary corrections required if any.

ACRs, due care must be taken as it is to
be disclosed to the subordinate.

give fast and at doorstep service to the
customer to his best satisfaction and
delightedness and said that one and each
executive and staff is to be committed
to the task of better future the BSNL to

03.03.2010 : GS, President, AGS(F) met
Secy(T) and discussed :
Sam G. Pitroda Committee Recommendations
:
We requested Secy(T)
to apprise the recommendations of Shri
Sam G. Pitroda Committee. Secy(T)
confirmed that Committee has submitted
it's Recommendations on BSNL's
performance review i.e. Committee
suggested restructuring of BSNL
Board/Management by selecting
professionals from market, proposed 30%
disinvestment of BSNL, VRS to one Lac
Employees and suggested to scrap 93
Million GSM lines Tender and to procure
advance technology GSM equipment
through Managed Service Model (On
sharing basis) etc.
On all these
recommendations we reacted that first of
all Govt. should have the
ownership of BSNL and should give
autonomy and flexibility in decision
making to BSNL Management, Scrapping of
93 Million GSM line tender will block
the BSNL's growth because even for
deciding the modalities, tender term and
conditions and procedures for Managed
Service Model further time will require
at least one year. Secy(T) mentioned
that Govt. wants to support BSNL by
withdrawing License fee / USO Charges
etc. but similar benefit is being
demanded by Pvt. Operators hence
Ministry of Finance is not accepting
BSNL/DoT's pleading. We expressed our
serious concern against withdrawal of
ADC charges based on TRAI
recommendations which has also affected
the viability of BSNL. In this
connection Secy(T) reacted that against
ADC withdrawal You people could have
protested through Administrative /Legal
course of action .We also pleaded that
ITS officers absorption is also the
important issue which could have been
addressed by the Committee. Secy(T)
mentioned that the ITS officers
absorption process is still open as per
DoT 2008 order whosoever is willing can
exercise the option but they are not
interested to exercise option. The
prospective date of absorption has
already been denied by Cabinet hence
absorption cut off date is 01.10.2000
only for all. He mentioned that BSNL
should demand repatriation of ITS
officers to DoT and should have it's own
contingency plan to run the Organisation
thereafter DoT can take the action .We
requested Secy(T) to grant a meeting to
the Unions/Associations to discuss the
Sam G. Pitroda Committee Recommendations
thereafter only it's implementation
should start. Secy(T) mentioned that the
BSNL Management may discuss all these
issues with the Unions/Associations, hen
we insisted for the meeting with him he
agreed to look into. The meeting ended
after one and half hour. |

03.03.2010 : GS, President, AGS (F) met
Member (T) Telecom Commission and
discussed :
(a) BSNL's performance :
Member (T) mentioned that BSNL's
performance w.r.t. Private Operators is
not satisfactory. Even the Circles like
Bihar and UP (East) are showing growth
of 8 lakh and 12 lakh mobile connections
respectively but the gross revenue
earned in these Circles reduced to 45
crores and 20 crores respectively. Hence
it seems that some manipulation is being
done. Click here

Figures for Mobile Operators
(b) IDA pension revision case : Member
(T) appreciated our concern and pleading
that since BSNL employees were assured
Govt. pension under Rule - 37A and the
pension contribution is already paid to
DOT. Now DOT should take decision to
revise the IDA pension without referring
to MoF. He assured to look into the
matter. |
