26th August 2010Reduction in the Pay of JTOs of 2007 and 2008 batches: These JTOs were recruited by notifying 9850-14600 scale but on appointment they are placed provisionally in E1 scale. As a result, all of them are facing a pay loss of 4000 to 5000 rupees per month. This is very much demoralising for the young executives. Assn taken up this serious issue with DIR(HR) vide letter dated 09.06.2010.

Assn is further pursuing the matter with EF section.

19th August 2010 After persistent efforts of this association to lift the bar imposed by DOT on BSNL from procuring GSM equipment from Chinese vendors who are ready to sign new template agreement for supply of GSM equipment on security consideration, DoT vide no 10-15/2009/AS.III/(Vol.II/27/83) dated 12th August 2010 allows BSNL to procure equipment from Chinese venders also. This ban has been lifted by DOT after more than eighteen months after this association took up the issue of ending the serious discrimination being met out to BSNL by DOT with the Hon'ble Prime Minister's office and Union Cabinet Secretary.

                 We are satisfied that after continuous struggle and persuasion we could finally ensure that BSNL also enjoys level playing field in the matter of procurement of GSM equipment.

                   Now it remains to be seen to what extent BSNL management exploits this advantageous position by allowing BSNL to procure equipment from Chinese venders. Management has to act expeditiously to involve Chinese venders also in the process of bidding for procurement of 5.5 million GSM lines if it is really interested that European and American venders do no indulge in arm twisting when it comes to placement of purchase order for procurement of GSM equipment.

                  This Association shall closely monitor the actions of Consumer Mobility group with regard to procurement of 5.5 million lines specifically in the context of DOT's positive decision of allowing BSNL to procure the equipment from Chinese venders.

BSNL union hits at DoT for not allowing Chinese equipment.<<PTI>>

High Court against the order of Hon CAT, EKM for reversion and the revision of seniority of 147 SDEs. Hon. High Court didn't extended the general stay and restricted the stay in respect of the two applicants alone (K. S. Hegde(MTNL) and R. C. Khuntia (OR)) for a period of four months. The case will be heard on merit.

18th August 2010GS along with both AGSs met GM(Pers) and held discussions on a) JTO to SDE DPC, b) Transfer of Adhoc DEs promoted in 2008 to their parent Circle -- transfer orders from GUJ, HP, BSNLCO, KTK and QA will be issued in a couple of days, c) transfer of SDEs completed one year tenure at Leh, J&K -- orders will be issued after consulting DIR(HR), d) modifications in the promotion order dated 30.06.2010 and 30.07.2010 --- Except Chennai and TN, modification to other Circles in respect of order dated 30.06.2010 will issued. CHTD, TN, STR and KTK Circles facing shortage of vacancies as 100% of posts are filled up. However the medical cases will be further pursued. Modification to AP/KRL circles may be possible.

17th August 2010We strongly condemn the deliberate inaction of the CGM HARYANA in not initiating appropriate action to nail in R.K.Dawra, GM(Infra) Circle office, Ambala  for his established sexual harassment of lady JTO. CGM is taking absolutely no cognizance and follow up action of the orders of DOP & Trg. based on the comprehensive guidelines of Hon'ble Supreme Court which clearly envisage that employer (CGM Haryana) should initiate action under provisions of Indian Penal Code by approaching the appropriate law enforcing agencies. What is deplorable on the part of CGM is he is shielding the culprit by not initiating action to file an FIR in deference to the guidelines of the Hon'ble Apex Court regarding sexual harassment at workplaces.

However the Association is all determined to  relentlessly pursue the matter and ensure that full justice is met out to our innocent comrade by getting the culprit punishes under relevant provisions of IPC. >>>>>>>>>

We are extremely thankful to DIR(HR), GM(Pers), CVO, DGM(Pers), AGM(DPC) and the entire executives and staff in DPC, CVO office and Pers-I Section for issuing this historic promotion order for regular STS.

This radical breakthrough in the carrier growth of JTO/SDE shall definitely pave the way for them to occupy senior managerial position in the company in near future.

09th August 2010Meeting with CMD/BSNL, Sh. Gopal Das, on 5th Aug.,10.

New CMD/BSNL, Sh Gopal Das, called both SNEA(I) and AIBSNLE A to impress upon both the Associations to urge their membership to get fully involved in expeditious and successful implementation of some of the following important  projects which have the potential of generating considerable resources. 

A)  Rs 1650 crore Rural broad band project funded by USO: Rs 4500 subsidy for each broad connection for installation and Rs 90 per month for maintenance shall be provided. Additional Rs 4500 would be the subsidy for procurement of PC for each broadband connection.

B)  Rs 1600 crore broad band project of Ministry of HRD: All 20,000 private/govt colleges have to be provided 20 broadband connections each for a period of three years – 10 in the 1st year and 5 each in 2nd and 3rd year. In addition, 419 private/govt. universities have to be extended 1GBPS broadband connections.

C)  Rs 880 crore DIT project: Total of 1 lakh CSCs (kiosks), each kiosk catering to 6 villages, covering 2.4 lakhs, have to be provided. Out of this, 77,000 CSCs are ready and have to be connected through ADSL II and Wimax. Out of total 1 lakh connections, 30,000 are to be extended on ADSL II, 64,500 on Wimax and 1500 on DVDO.

D)  Rs 14,600 crore optic fibre project to connect 2,50,000 Gram Panchayats: In the first three years, 2 mbps and in next two years 100 mbps connectivity is to be provided. Laying of optic fibre to provide broad band to 2,50,000 gram panchayats will be funded by USO. 

The success and the swiftness of implementation of these highly ambitious projects having enormous potential to generate huge resources to turnaround BSNL depends entirely on the level of commitment and dedication of JTOs/SDEs and DEs. If we really mean business, these projects can be accomplished well within the stipulated time frame. We do not have to look around for excuses to justify our failures and delays. We have had enough of them. We have to single mindedly and wholeheartedly get down to the challenging task of completing these projects well in time.  

We thus make a fervent and impassioned appeal to our members throughout the Country to fully seize this great opportunity to place our beloved Company on a sound financial platform. We have fully assured CMD that our members will burn midnight oil to achieve the set targets and we should mean it and take it as a great challenge. We are confident that we will come up to the daunting task and reciprocate the gesture of CMD in promoting TES Gr B to STS on a massive scale. This is the time that we have to give our very best to the Organization and not look back till we reach our goal. We have to pass this litmus test. No excuses please.

05th August 2010Clarification dated 30-07-2010 on LDCE for promotion from JTO to SDE  -- blatant violation of the statutory Recruitment Rule provisions reg. As per the clarification No. 2-29/2005-Pers.II dated 16-4-2007, it is mentioned that the relaxation under column 12 Note 5 of SDE (T) RRs 2002 is applicable for LDCE also. Immediately withdraw the item 1 of the clarification dated 30.07.2010 since it clearly amounts to violation of provisions of RRs and clarifications issued subsequently. Besides, concerned officers may be sternly warned to desist from fiddling with the provisions of RRs since these provisions are sacrosanct. Fiddling with RRs is fundamental reason for stockpiling of huge litigations.GS addresses Director (HRD) >>>>>>>>

01st August 2010Clarification on LDCE for promotion to grade of SDE(T) under 33% quota >>>>>>>>>

Editorial: Linking career growth exclusively to stringent performance parameters key to revival of BSNL – Send non performers home, begin with ITS. 

Time is just ripe enough for everyone to initiate a serious and brainstorming debate on introducing radical measures to link career growth very very closely and exclusively to performance. Stringent performance evaluation parameters having inbuilt and foolproof measures eliminating scope of manipulation must be introduced put in place a formidable and sound mechanism of performance evaluation on which career growth should be exclusively based. 

Gone are the days when promotions used to be for all and sundry, regardless of whether one performs or not. Even in central government organizations, where viability is not at all an issue, a very strong emphasis is being laid on performance. Outstanding performers in BSNL need to be motivated in an equally outstanding manner, whereas non performers need to be sent home as fast as possible. Achieving this should command highest priority of the top Management. Tragically, in BSNL non performers heavily outnumber performers and both are ironically placed on the same level.  

However, all this has to start from the top to enable it percolate down quickly. Talking of linking performance to career growth is undoubtedly and unquestionably just the need of the hour to rescue the organization but it has relevance and meaning only when everyone is part and parcel of this new performance scrutiny While loud talk to introduce stringent performance measures to regulate time bound promotions for JTOs/SDEs/DEs etc is just apt and right, but not just muttering a word of how to deal with hundreds and hundreds of non performing and incompetent GMs/CGMs is ridiculous and clearly implies that management is not serious to introduce this basic and urgently needed reform of linking career growth to performance.   

Management’s failure to get adequate support of the workforce to introduce innovative and key reforms on HR front basically stems from its deep rooted obsession that ITS has come straight from the heaven and hence their performance does not need close and stringent scrutiny. Management shall get thumbs up support from every nook and corner to speedily enforce crucial HR reforms if it gives up its parochial ITS thinking and broadens its approach.  

Management’s narrow vision was clearly manifest in its recent move to have a fresh look at staffing norms of executives. While everyone in the Company recognizes and accepts the need to prune manpower size in the company at all the levels, but restructuring head somehow feels that JTOs and SDEs need to be drastically sized down whereas already bloated size of GMs and PGMs angels as they are born in heaven requires further bloating, no matter even if the organization explodes. This makes fun and mockery of the entire system and erodes the credibility of even those in the top management who are not guided by narrow ITS considerations and mean business in honest and real terms. The objective also gets defeated. 

Yes, immediately linking career growth exclusively to very stringent performance parameters is the absolute and crying need of the hour in the Organization. The success of introducing these reforms lies in how quickly narrow considerations of ITS are shed while drafting crucial HR policies and bringing ITS within the domain of closely linking career growth to performance. Management will get unbelievably terrible support from this Association to introduce this key HR reform as fast as possible for such a move has huge potential of turning around the Company, besides heralding beginning of good times in BSNL.
