BSNL recruitees, JTO officiating
regularisation, creation of PPS posts in
field units etc.
GS also discussed the issue of
membership verification. He expressed
that AIBSNLEA is in the favour of single
Association but membership verification
should take place after completion of
ITS officers' absorption in BSNL. He
hoped that CMD, BSNL will try his best
for keeping his words regarding
completion of ITS absorption process by
the end of this calendar year. GS
mentioned that this association is not
opposed to any cadre but demands ending
the deemed deputation/deputation in BSNL.
The absorption process can not be
lingered on endlessly. BSNL can not rise
without having its own managers at the
highest posts instead of those on
deputation, who do not feel
belongingness towards BSNL.
GS opposed the Govt's move to disinvest
BSNL by the way of listing it as it will
not help BSNL to grow in any way. Only
motivated workforce and committed
managers can help in it. GS also
discussed regarding poor after sales
service in broadband connections,
problems at Call Centres and Revenue
Collection Centres, illogical tax and
interests paid by BSNL, instructions to
Govt. departments etc. to take telecom
facilities from BSNL only, strengthening
of marketing and sales units in BSNL for
proper growth of BSNL with respect to
market share and revenue.
Shri Shakeel Ahmed, GM (SR) in his brief
address mentioned that he is fully aware
of all the issues raised by the
association and ready to discuss any of
them at any time. Regarding ITS
absorption issue, he mentioned that
executives should concentrate for the
growth of BSNL instead of going for
cadre wars. He assured for his
full cooperation for resolving the
issues wherever possible.
Shri D. Varadarajan, CGM Tamilnadu
Circle, Shri A. Subramanian, CGM,
Chennai Telephones, Shri S.Raghavan, CGM
Mtce., STR, Chennai and Shri
P.R.Ananthan, CGM Project, STP, Chennai
also addressed the Open Session and
appealed to provide quality service with
the available resources to our
customers.
Com G.L.Jogi, GS, SNEA in his address
thanked the Association for inviting him
to the CWC Meet. He spoke about various
factors affecting growth and viability
of BSNL. He stated that due to
intervention by the ministry the market
share of BSNL has gone down steeply
whereas the market share of private
players has been increased as they were
free to procure equipment and enhance
their capability at a time when BSNL was
not having any equipment for expansion
of its cellular services. The equipment
orders could be placed only after united
strike by Executives and Non-executives
in July 2007. The non-absorption of ITS
officers is also reason for declining
market share as no development
activities are taking place in full
swing.
Shri S.R.Kapoor, ED (Fin) in his address
appreciated the Association for
its efforts for growth of BSNL as well
as for cadre issues of the Executives.
He thanked for giving him the
opportunity to attend the Meet.
Shri Kuldeep Goyal, CMD BSNL in his
address expressed his deep concern
over the decline of BSNL's profit. He
appealed all the Executives to work for
the growth of BSNL only for one year and
forget rest of the issues. He stressed
over more revenue generation from mobile
services including Value Added Services
by adopting better market and sales
strategy as per the market requirements.
He apprised about the efforts made for
capturing enterprise business. He
stressed over the need of BSNL becoming
a complete and end to end solution
provider for all the services provided
by it to the customers rather than
remaining a telecom company only. He
told about capturing a business of 9000
crores from the Defence Ministry during
next 3 years.
CMD mentioned that there is no more
business in voice transmission now.
Business is to be fetched from data and
video traffic. Mobile TV especially on
3G is one of the examples of it. In his
opinion tower sharing, better BTS
maintenance, reduction on security
expenditures by reviewing those,
portability to higher ARPU customers
etc. are the other ways to increase
profit. He appealed to increase our
strength in rural area as 60% of the
growth is in rural area. CMD described
3G as our strength and encash it by
proper marketing and promotions. He
mentioned that in near future WiMAX is
being launched to provide broadband in a
radius of 15 kms without copper wire.
CDR and ERP are also going to benefit
BSNL.
Regarding ITS absorption issue, CMD told
that efforts are being to resolve the
issue early. On not allowing BSNL for
procurement from Huwai, CMD told that
the matter is being taken up with the
Govt. He expressed his opinion in favour
of listing of BSNL but with the consent
of Executives.
In his vote of thanks, Com P.
Jones Samuel Raj, CS, Chennai Telephone
Circle thanked the Chief Guest, the
guests of honour, special guest, members
and Executives present in the open
session on behalf of host Circle
branches. The meeting hall of Hotel New
Woodlands was jam packed.
