27.06.2011: A special Seminar Trichy on 25-06-2011: A special seminar was organised by Tamilnadu Circle in a very grand manner. The topic of the Seminar is "VRS, Disinvestment, Innovative Marketing Strategies and their role in developing BSNL". The topic of the seminar itself is self explanatory and chosen timely by the Tamilnadu Comrades while lot of news coming around on VRS and Disinvestment thereby making the entire BSNL Community to get tensioned and put them in a mixed feeling of joy and fear. To some, it may be a boon where as to others be a bane. However to throw light, we really appreciate, the Tamilnadu Circle took the initiative to conduct such a timely seminar. In a very short notice, our members from all SSAs represented the seminar. Around 200 Executives of all streams and non executives beyond their Association/Union loyalty attended the seminar. This itself reflects the curiosity of our people in learning things. The seminar was held in "Thamizh Sangam" a traditionally prominent venue of Trichy on 25-06-2011.

Com.Prahlad Rai, Our GS, Com.P.Venugopalan, Our President and Com.V.K.Paramasivam,Advisor, CHQ participated along with the CWC members of Tamilnadu Circle.

In the morning, Com.C.Duraiarasan,Circle President started the session and Com.N.Veerapandian, CS welcomed the gathering. From the administration side, Sri.Mohammed Asraf Khan, ITS the CGM of Tamilnadu Circle, Sri.V.Raju, the PGM, Trichy and Sri. C.V.Vinodh,the GM(Marketing) attended the Seminar.

Com. V.K. Paramasivam, Advisor inaugurated the seminar and narrated the purpose of the seminar. He requested all to express their views over the issues so that decisions may be taken on consensus.

The CGM felicitated the seminar and appreciated our Comrades for taking such effort to conduct the useful seminar. He congratulated the Tamilnadu Comrades for having worked hard and informed that Tamilnadu earned more revenue than that earned in this period (March-April) of last year and sought this type of co-operation in the coming period also.

Com. Prahlad Rai, GS spoke in detail about the marketing strategies and the reasons for the failures of the schemes announced in BSNL. Poor planning and lavish spending and lack of knowledge on marketing skills were exposed with examples. The delay in supplying the essential stores and spares and various court cases by the private vendors block the way of improvement, he said. He guided us to be more vigilant and to work hard. The role played by us in JAC was reported in detail. The customer delight month, we proposed earned better results and motivates our people. He said that it attracted the attention of all and the efforts we took for the success of this programme were well recognised by all.

Sri.Raju, PGM,Trichy lectured on the essentials of the hour in saving the BSNL. The togetherness and the unity apart from all differences will definitely bring the BSNL to the fore despite competition from private houses.

Sri. C.V.Vinodh, the GM(Matketing) spent the whole day with us along with the PGM. Trichy. His eloquency and the thorough knowledge of the subject on marketing strategy sounded powerfully and threw light on the road we have to walk in keeping the BSNL banner high. He shared his rich experiences he had in the past in different fields. He advocated the human touch to solve any complicated problem which is lacking presently among us. He replied to the doubts raised by the participants.

On behalf of the Associations/Unions, Circle Secretaries/ other representatives attended and addressed the seminar. Com.Pattabi, CS, NFTE-BSNL, Com. Wahab, President, FNTO, Com. Batcha, BSNLEU, Com. Gunasekaran, ACS,SNEA, Com. P.N. Perumal, CS, SEWA participated and contributed on the issues particularly on VRS and Disinvestment.

After lunch, a good number of delegates participated in the discussion. Com. Venu, President addressed the seminar in the evening and explained the financial position of the BSNL and the recent developments in the BSNL in respect of important policies like VRS, Disinvestment and other recommendations put forth by the Corporate Office to DOT. Finally, Com. Prahlad Rai spoke on cadre problems. He exposed the reasons for the abnormal delay caused in the settlement of major issues like CAO promotions, DE (Adhoc) to DE(Regular) and JAG promotions in both Accounts and Engineering . The pay anamoly/Pay fixation cases of Departmental/DR JTOs. PA/PS residency period, Civil and electrical wing issues were explained. He clearly reported on the Court cases particularly in respect of seniority over 270 SDEs and our role in getting the contempt petition admitted in the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

Lastly, on the basis of the discussion, unanimous resolutions were passed on VRS and Disinvestment.

Tamilnadu Circle resolves that mere opposition to VRS will bear no result. Though we are not for VRS, we have to be vigil and prepared to face the VRS if introduced by BSNL through political pressure in the name of policy matter as done in Corporatisation of DTS and DTO. We have to try our level best to get maximum benefit for the people retiring under VRS. They also passed resolution to oppose tooth and nail the proposal of Disinvestment,if any, to be announced in the future. The expenditure due to VRS should be met through finance help from DOT or any other borrowing except disinvestment.

Com. M.K.Ganesan, ACS thanked the gathering and the Leaders and Officers who had participated and addressed the seminar. Under the leadership of Com. Mohan, Br. Secretary, Trichy SSA, Com. Subramanian, DGM and Br. President, Com.S alaam, FS, Com. Anbalagan Sr. SDE and our Circle Vice President and Com. S.Paulsamy, our Trichy Comrades have made all the arrangements in a very beautiful manner and made the seminar more successful. Com. Maathru Bootham, JTO, Com. Ilangovan, JTO, Com. Saminatha Rao, SDE, and other leading comrades of Trichy SSA were also behind the event to become more successful.

In short, we appreciate Tamilnadu Circle for taking the lead to initiate a serious discussion and debate on a controversial issue like VRS in a very crucial time. Click Here for Glimpses

21.06.2011 : Decisions of the JAC Meeting held on 21st June 2011: A meeting of the Joint Action Committee of BSNL Associations / Unions of Executives and Non-Executives was held on 21st June 2011. Com. G.L.Jogi presided over the meeting. Com. V.A.N.Namboodiri, Convener, briefed the meeting about the developments after the last meeting including the meeting with the CMD BSNL. After detailed discussions, the following decisions were taken.

(a) Customer Delight Month and developmental programmes: It was decided earlier to get the detailed information from the Circles on the above issue. But very few circles have furnished the same. It was reiterated that before the next meeting, these should be obtained to have a fruitful discussion. In the meantime, the issue of lack of mobile equipments, cables, modem etc. should be discussed with the concerned officers in the Corporate Office for procuring the same.

(b) Effective implementation of Projects: Projects like CDR, ERP etc. are either being delayed or not effective as required. These projects should be got implemented effectively.

(c) Posting of Executive Directors: For effective supervision and implementation of developmental activities, the meeting proposed that the Executive Directors now working in the Corporate Office should be allotted to the Zones and posted there.

(d) Alternate Telecom Policy: In addition to the note given to the Communications Minister on the subject, additional points should be submitted which were discussed. A special meeting to discuss the same should be sought from the Minister.

(e) BRPSE Recommendations: The meeting discussed about the various recommendations / decisions of the BSNL Board on the recommendations of the BRPSE. On each issue, the opinion of the JAC is furnished below.

1) ITI merger with BSNL - JAC opposes this, since ITI is a manufacturing company while BSNL is a service provider. Further merging two loss making companies make no sense.

2) BSNL-MTNL Merger - JAC feels that merger will help synergy and pan �India presence. But at the same time, the difference in pay of the employees and pension schemes as also that MTNL is disinvested while BSNL is not disinvested etc. should be comprehensively solved before merger takes place.

3) VRS - JAC continues its strong opposition to VRS.

4) Support from DOT - Maximum support should be given to BSNL by government.

5) Action Plan to improve - This is very much necessary and should be implemented effectively with the participation of the workers.

Next meeting of the JAC will be held at 1500 hours on Wednesday, 29th June 2011.
