Forum has raised serious objection on MT/DGM recruitment from outside ignoring more qualified, experienced and deserving internal executives. Forum has appraised that BSNL Board has taken decision to recruits about 200 DGM in some specialized field like HR, Marketing, Sales etc. but later on decision is deliberately manipulated and recruitment is made in Operation and Finance wherein thousands of executives having all the requisite qualification and experience are already available in BSNL. Internal executives possessing all the qualification and experience as prescribed for external candidates have been debarred and result is also not declared who appeared in the same exam. This is clear cut act of giving undue benefits to external candidates and making recruitment from some targeted candidates. Forum is likely to approach to CVC for vigilance inquiry if DGM recruitment is not immediately withdrawn. Although GM (Pers) tried to convince Director (HR) in the name of requirement of some outside fresh blood but Director (HR) was fully convince that she is not against any lateral recruitment but there should not be any discrimination with internal candidates, in fact preferential treatment should be given to internal executives over external candidates. Director (HR) assured that she will go through the detail of the issues and ensure that no discrimination is happen with internal executives. TELEWAVE Page-58 AUGUST-2015
