The Department of Telecom ( DoT) had sought Trai's recommendations regarding continuation of support from Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) towards the rural direct exchange lines (DELs) on expiry of Rs 2,000 crore per year subsidy on July 17, 2011.

"Keeping in view the urgency of matter, considering that it would take some more time to issue a consultation paper and that time would also be taken in consultation process, the Authority recommends that a subsidy of Rs 600 crore purely as an ad hoc measure may be given to BSNL," Trai said in a statement. The Regulator said that at this stage it may not be easy for the government to obtain any additional funds for this purpose through the normal budgetary process and hence it recommended that a subsidy grant of Rs 600 crore may be made from USOF to BSNL.

However, Trai added that the grant and the source (USOF) are "purely ad hoc" arrangement and final recommendations would be made after due consultation. All mobile phone companies share part of their annual revenues towards USOF.

BSNL, as per Trai recommendations, had received Rs 2,000 crore from USOF for a period of three years from July 18, 2008 to July 17, 2011 on phasing out of Access Deficit Charge ( ADC) for sustaining its loss-making landline business across rural India. Following the expiration date, BSNL had sought further financial support of Rs 2,580 crore per year from USOF for meeting the deficit arising out of "commercially non-remunerative" rural wireline services for DELs installed before April 1, 2002.

The state-run operator was asked to make a presentation before Trai, in which it stated that the exsiting cost of operations on these lines are high in comparison with revenue accruals. "It does not make business sense for BSNL to maintain these high cost rural lines at very high net loss unless it is financially compensated by the government," BSNL had said. Adding that these lines are key to broadband adoption in rural areas, the state-run firm sought continued financial support.

05-3-2012:- Hyderabad: Government-run telecom major Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will conduct its reconnection mela across Andhra Pradesh for 15 days from March 5.

BSNL's accumulated dues in the AP Circle are around Rs 270 crore over the last three decades. However, of this, Rs 200 crore were from the last six months alone, he said, saying that competitive market is one of the prime reasons for the difficulty in collections.

The DSs ,DPs of all the three associations and lot of other functionaries addressed the gathering..

Through out the programme anchoring by Com M.V.Reddy was an impressive one.

19-1-2012:- United Forum of BSNL Executives’ Associations ( AIBSNLEA, SNEA (I) and AIGETOA) met on 16.01.2012 and decided to show strong resentment to the BSNL Management for the sinister move to recruit 600 Sr DGMs / Jt DGMs just to accommodate indisposed ITS Officers back into BSNL. UF decided to participate in large number for the proposed DHARNA on 20.01.2012 to be organized at CGMT Office, Doorsanchar Bhavan at Hyderabad and at the respective General Manager’s Office in all the other SSAs.

The move to recruit 600 DGMs in E6 level, who are mostly in the age group of 35-45 will permanently seal the prospects of the absorbed executives because the posts thus occupied by this recruitment will not be vacant upto 15-25 years as per this recruitment rules. The present recruitment rules were framed in such a way that only ITS Officers are eligible with minimum qualification of B.Tech ignoring and denying the opportunity to the vast experienced absorbed executives and some are even better qualified than the ITS Officers.

BSNL Management is totally lacking any commitment to the absorbed executives but making all out efforts to safeguard the interest of the unabsorbed, unwilling ITS Officers by even tampering the BSNLMS Recruitment Rules which were framed after lot of deliberations with all the stake holders.[Recruitment should be at E5 and E 9 only]

Standard Pay Scales is the demand of all the Executive Associations from the day BSNL was formed. Even during the implementation of 2nd PRC, the demand was not met by the BSNL Management only on the ground that the pension contribution which BSNL has to pay to DOT on the maximum of the scale will increase the financial burden of BSNL. As the issue is now resolved and orders issued for contribution of Pension on the actual basic, BSNL Management should not have any hesitation, but to implement Standard Pay Scales to the executives.

The move of the BSNL Management is intended to ‘Rehabilitate ITS officers rather than concentrate on the issues concerning the growth of BSNL either by introducing standard procurement policy or introducing a homogeneous management structure belonging to the company. The Recruitment Rules (RRs) have been converted into Rehabilitation Rules only to appease ITS Officers and not for building a Management Structure comprising of dedicated, committed and devoted absorbed executives who have trust on the viability of the company and determination for its revival.

Hence we appeal to all the executives to participate in the DAY LONG DHARNA on 20.01.2012 and make the United Forum call success.

15-12-11:- Joint Action Committee of Associations/Unions of BSNL Executives & Non-Executives has given call of one day strike on 15th Dec'2011 to strongly protest against the wrong policies of Govt. and BSNL Management which are adversely affecting the viability of BSNL and its employees.

Govt. is disowning its responsibility towards its own company, BSNL by withdrawing its supports which were assured at the time of its formation in Oct'2000.

More than Rs.3000 crores is being charged as license fee and USO charges contrary to NTP-1999. The OPEX charges Rs. 5000 crores payment to BSNL has been denied by DoT. On the basis of TRAI recommendations, ADC to BSNL has been withdrawn but the telecom services in rural areas are being provided on reduced rental. Rs. 18500 crores has been charged from BSNL against 3G & BWA spectrum allocation on the highest bidding rate without giving fare opportunity to BSNL for participating in the bidding process to decide circles on the basis of profit & loss criteria.

BSNL has already surrendered non-stranded BWA spectrum & has demanded refund of Rs. 7000 crores. Govt. decision to impose VRS to 1,00,000 (One lakh) employees can't be accepted without any road map that how it will help BSNL's viability.

BSNL Management is not implementing DoT order dated 03.11.2011 for repatriation of non-optee ITS officers whose deemed deputation ended on 08.11.2011, which is adversely affecting the viability of BSNL. BSNL management is making its best efforts to rehabilitee ITS officers in BSNL by framing illogical RRs. The existing Group-'A' level executives are not being promoted against vacant HAG/SAG/JAG level posts in BSNL.

BSNL Management failed in procurement of GSM/NGN equipments, Cables, telephone instruments, MLLN Modems etc which has also adversely affected the viability of BSNL.

Let us, actively participate in the JAC strike call on 15th Dec'2011 to make its a complete success and to defeat the wrong policies of the Govt. and BSNL Management, which are adversely affecting the viability of BSNL and its employees.

05-11-2011:- ::*********SECRETS OF BOLLY WOOD STARS BEAUTY*********It is commonly believed that senior actors don't use cell phones. An oft-cited example is Aamir Khan, who owned a mobile much later than others, shunning it when knee-deep in work. But times are changing.

Other old-timers are warming to mobiles while they're still reluctant about sharing their numbers. One such example is Bollywood's eternal diva - Rekha. Even her closest friends in the industry don't have her number. Once, we were desperate to get in touch with Madam Re.

Her dear friend 'Hemu' (Hema Malini) advised us to call her on the landline and leave a message along with a number on voicemail. It did work. Rekha's manager Farzana promptly called back without wasting a minute and handed over the phone to her boss. "I too don't have Rekha's number. I always leave behind a message and she calls me back," said Hema with a chuckle.(Courtesy.Times Of India)

24-10-2011:- :: BSNL MAY GET NEW BWA:-Facing reimbursement of over Rs 8,300 crore to BSNL for surrendering BWA spectrum in several circles, the government may offer the PSU new frequency band similar to the one given to private operators.The Telecom Ministry has said it has one slot of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum available in most of the circles.

BSNL has offered to surrender the spectrum, saying it was alloted non-standardised frequency, putting the PSU at disadvantage vis-a-vis private operators.If materialised, the move would dash all the hopes of auctioning the spectrum as desired by the Finance Ministry to earn revenues to check the burgeoning fiscal deficit."All possibilities including replacing one slot of BWA licence with BSNL's existing spectrum... No possibilities off the table as far as the options are concerned. We [Ministry] are looking at them," a source in the Department of Telecom said.

"If they [BSNL] want to vacate some slot as they are not happy with the existing frequency band and want to shift to another band that will also be looked at," he added.BSNL has recently written a letter to DoT in which the telecom operator had offered to surrender its Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum in 17 circles, seeking refund of Rs 8,313.80 crore.

The letter had stated that BSNL was allotted non-standardised band of BWA and cannot be put in use, so the company wants to return.However, BSNL wants to retain Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Haryana service areas.Last year, BSNL had paid over Rs 8,500 crore to the government as spectrum charges. DoT still has one slot of BWA spectrum left with them which could be auctioned, if not given to BSNL, as desired by the Finance Ministry, the official added.Earlier, the PSU had floated a tender to allow franchisees to run services on revenue share basis, which came under DoT scanner due to irregularities found in allotting BSNL's WiMAX franchisee.

The employee unions of state-run BSNL had also asked the government to refund over Rs 8,313 crore paid by the PSU for acquiring non-standardised Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum.BSNL is understood to have registered a loss of over Rs 6,000 crore for FY11, mainly due to high staff cost and payments made for acquiring 3G and BWA spectrum.(Courtesy Business standard)

16-10-2011:- ::NEW DELHI: At a time when private operators are scrambling for more spectrum, loss-making state-run BSNL has offered to surrender its Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum in 17 circles, seeking refund of Rs 8,313.80 crore."BSNL has written a letter to Department of Telecom (DoT) offering to return BWA spectrum in 17 circles... (It) wants to retain only Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Haryana service areas," a source from the DoT said.

BSNL is understood to have registered a loss of over Rs 6,000 crore for 2010-11, mainly due to high staff cost and payments made for acquiring 3G and BWA spectrum.

Last year, BSNL had paid over Rs 8,500 crore to the government as spectrum charges bidding for the BWA auction, and was allotted non-standardised band of BWA spectrum for 21 circles."The letter stated that BSNL was allotted non-standardised band of BWA and can't be put in use, so the company wants to return... The department will now take a look and may consider an option to re-auction the spectrum also if possible," the source added.

Earlier, the PSU had floated a tender to allow franchisees to run services on revenue share basis, which came under DoT scanner due to irregularities found in allotting BSNL's WiMAX franchisee.The employees unions of state-run BSNL had asked the government to refund over Rs 8,313 crore paid by the PSU for acquiring non-standardised Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum.

BSNL has been facing severe financial pressure as its losses have more than tripled to about Rs 6,000 crore during 2010-11, mainly due to hefty outgo for employees' salary and expenses borne by the PSU for procuring 3G and BWA spectrum. The company had registered a net loss of Rs 1,823 crore during 2009-10.

BSNL had reported the highest net profit of over Rs 10,000 crore in 2005-06, but since then its profits have been falling and in 2009-10 it reported net losses.More than 47 per cent of the total income of the company goes for the payment made to the BSNL's employees.The company is already preparing a voluntary retirement plan to employees as part of its efforts to revive the loss-making company.The company has set an internal target of 99,700 employees - comprising Group A (1,483), Group B (6,262), Group C (76,655) and Group D (15,214) staffers.

The VRS has been under discussion since 2009 when a panel headed by Sam Pitroda, adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations, advocated that BSNL take the VRS route to prune its nearly 2.77 lakh strong workforce by a third.

Vijaya Dashami also known as Dasara, Dashahara, Navaratri, Durgotdsav… is one of the very important & fascinating festivals of India, which is celebrated from the Shukla Paksha Pratipada to the Dashami or the tenth day of Ashwin(ASHVIYUJA MASA).

This festival is celebrated not only in India but in almost all eastern countries like Java, Sumatra, Japan etc... Dasara is Nepal’s national festival.

Word DASARA is derived from Sanskrit words “Dasha” & “hara” meaning removing the ten (10). In Sanskrit, 'Vijaya' means Victory and 'Dashami' means 10th day. 'Thus Vijaya Dashami' means victory on the 10th day.

Dasara is also known as Navaratri, as in the first nine days the Divine Mother Goddess Durga is worshipped and invoked in different manifestations of her Shakti. The 10th day is in honor of Durga Devi. The basic purpose behind this festival is to worship feminine principle of the Universe in the form of the divine mother to remind the teachings of the Taitareeya Upanishad, "Matru Devo Bhava."

2-10-2011:- !!!MAHATMA GANDHI JAYANTHI!!!Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi,who became a MAHATMA by his actions and became known as Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, and died on January 30, 1948. He was a political and spiritual leader in India,our country and played a key role in the Indian independence movement. Gandhi developed the novel technique of non-violent agitation, which he called "Satyagraha", loosely translated as "moral domination".

He is known for his non-violent civil disobedience in India and South Africa. These included the start of the non-cooperation movement in 1922 and the Salt Satyagraha or Salt (Dandi) March starting on March 12, 1930. Through Gandhi's efforts, India finally gained its freedom on August 15, 1947. The nation mourned for him after he was assassinated on January 30, 1948. The United Nations' (UN) International Day of Non-Violence is also held on October 2 each year to coincide with Mahatma Gandhi's birthday.

We are proud to be in the country of MAHATMA and AIBSNLEA feels that the teachings of MAHATMA are very much relevant now also to resolve any issue and there is a need to get moral boosting by clearly understanding and following the teachings of MAHATMA.

Such people as that of MAHATMA cannot be limited to our country alone and have to be termed as the person of the WORLD.We do not know ,whether any matching person can be found in the UNIVERSE.

22-9-2011:- NEW DELHI: State-run BSNL's losses have more than tripled to about Rs 6,000 crore during 2010-11 mainly due to hefty outgo for employees' salary and expenses borne by the PSU for procuring 3G and BWA spectrum. The company had registered a net loss of Rs 1,823 crore during 2009-10. According to the unaudited results of the company, the loss for 2010-11 is Rs 5,997 crore.

"The reason for widening of the losses is mainly on account of payment made to the Government to procure 3G and BWA licenses. The company had paid a total of Rs 18,500 crore for both," a senior BSNL official said.This resulted in loss of other income of close to Rs 4,000 crore during the year gone by. BSNL had demanded refund of this money but denied by the Finance Ministry. The total revenues of the company also declined to Rs 28,876 crore during the year, down nearly 10 per cent from Rs 32,072 crore in the previous financial year.

"More than 47 per cent of the total income of the company goes for the payment made to the BSNL's employees," the official said indicating the PSU may resort to voluntary retirement scheme to trip its workforce in line with recommendations made expert committee. BSNL had reported the highest net profit of over Rs 10,000 crore in 2005-06 but since then its profits have been falling and in 2009-10 it reported net losses. The company is preparing a voluntary retirement plan to employees as part of its efforts to revive the loss-making company.

The company has set an internal target of 99,700 employees - comprising Group A (1,483), Group B (6,262), Group C (76,655) and Group D (15,214) staffers. The VRS has been under discussion since 2009 when a panel headed by Sam Pitroda, adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations, advocated that BSNL take the VRS route to prune its nearly 2.77 lakh strong workforce by a third. BSNL's liability for the proposed VRS is pegged at a modest Rs 2,700 crore, while the telecom department will shoulder nearly Rs 18,000 crore.

The Department of Telecom is already examining the feasibility of merging government telecom companies ITI and MTNL with state-run BSNL, in line with the recommendations of the Board for Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises (BRPSE). BSNL, which offers telecom services in all areas of the country, barring Delhi and Mumbai, had 95.14 million mobile subscribers as of July 31. it is making efforts to catch up with its private ops

Greetings of "Eid-Mubarak" or "a blessed Eid" are exchanged.A very important aspect of eid is the charity, which all the Muslims are expected to extend to the needy.

29-8-2011:- CS and BS(CO) met GM(HRD) AP Circle and discussed the issues of transfers of executives from tenure SSAs and non-tenure SSAs as lot of request transfers are still pending and the executives have been eagerly waiting for the same.

AVAILABILITY OF TELEPHONE INSTRUMENTS:-We informed that due to non-availability of telephone instruments we are losing market and administration should provide the same .CGMT informed that within a month's period instruments will start flowing.The scheme of 300 units free for those customers who get their own instrument was also discussed.

AVAILABILTY OF CPEs FOR BB CONNECTIONS:-CGMT informed that till modems are received a scheme at par with customer owned telephone instrument is being finalised wherein 150 free call units per month for three months will be offered to customers having their own CPE.However we insisted that they be made available at the earliest.CGMT was of the opinion that SSA heads can take a decision of having a tie with vendors for sale of telephone instruments and CPEs.

SUPPLY OF CABLES:-Small quantities of cables are expected soon.

We requested CGMT that all out efforts are to be made by the administration to wipe out the loss fronm AP Circle and we assured that we are with him in this endeavor.

17-8-2011:- CS writes to GM(HRD) regarding the necessity of review of transfer policy in our circle w.r.t. computing the age of the executive on the date of transfer.At present the age as on 31st March of the previous year was counted while the policy clearly indicates that the age has to be counted as on the present financial year,which policy is followed by BSNL HQs also.

16-8-2011:- Comrades,time has come to think of what is done by the administration to turn around or to increase the business.As an employee of BSNL and as comrade of the great organisation AIBSNLEA I am of the opinion that the way things are moving is not in the longer term interest of the company and ofcourse to all of us.It is wondered how we can do business without the required stores in the shop?Probably it is insisted only in BSNL.We are forced to market our products without actually having them.Take for example the case of lack of telephone instruments and that of CPEs.Every one of us know that the business of land line sector purely depends upon the availability of these two core strores.But these are not made available to us.

New schemes such as 300 free units,does it really help us?.All such measures will not help us but puts us in poor light.Can you think of any tea vender where in the customer has to bring the milk required for tea and accordingly there will be reduction in the price.If it is so then it is strange and that may not be called business.Can you think of an RTC journey where in bus will transport you but you have to bring your seat/chair/bed?.NO.NO.NO.Such features were never heard.Under these circumstances we are all forced to do business.

Have you ever heard a train journey which is not guarenteeing to reach the destination .If cables are not provided the service similarly cannot be guarenteed.

Shall we allow such things to continue forever?.Are we going to be a burden on Govt like some of the sick units?Can we allow it to happen?.

A serious and meaningful discussion is the need of the hour.Comrades,think loud.Staff representatives are made busy pusueing promotions/transfers etc,while the health of the company it self is not good.The administration and staff representatives should sit together and discuss these issues seriously and find out a viable soltion immediately.Other wise we may have to repent at a later date.

16-8-2011:- CS along with BS(CO) met DGM(Admn) % CGMT and discussed various issues pertained to executives and BSNL.

15-8-2011:- *****AIBSNLEA AP WISHES YOU A VERY HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY*****

12-8-2011:- CS along with BP(CO) met GM(HRD) and discussed the issues of transfers of executives at length.Regarding the transfers of executives from tenure SSAs it is reiterated that the lists are under preparation and appropriate action will be taken soon.Similar arrangement is mooted for transfers from non-tenure SSAs also.We discussed the issue of spouse cases to consider them after two years instead of four years to which GM(HRD) assured that suitable action is initiated.We stressed the need to the transfers of executives from ATP to which they promised that action is in progress.In general for all these transfers the policy will be that,the shortage in all the SSAs will be made equal and approximately 60-65% cadre will be made available in every SSA and to that extent request transfers will be considered.

On our demand for issuance of officiating promotions to the cadre of DE and SDE from the cadres of SDE and JTO. as already discussed looking after arrangements will be mooted till we get clearance for officiating promotions.However we made it clear that it is good to order officiating promotions than looking after arrangement.But owing to the bar looking after arrangement can be resorted as a stop gap arrangement.

We discussed the issue of transfers of PA/PS cadre which is held up for long time and pursuaded to complete the process early.Promotions to the cadre of PS is expected shortly and association also will pursue at corporate office level for early process.

CS opined that the business status of HTD is weak,and our concentration is to be on our consumer and expressed confidence that PGM and GM(F) (Srinivas and Srinivas)will take HTD to desired position.

PGM in his thoght provoking address informed that leaders decide the direction and let all others follow with confidence,BSNL has to be harmonised completely for our growth,Customers of BSNL should become lifetime and generations with BSNL due to our effective services,broad band disconnections are to be immediately averted.When we got very much from our beloved organisation which has given us recognition good salary,good family life ,now it is our turn to repay to BSNL with our good work.Every day we should think what value we have added to our office to day,let us leave no stone unturned to reap more revenue.He finally said that Karma has to be DHARMA if we were to be happy in our life.

2-7-2011:- Comrades,administration has called for options to work in some of the SSAs from among SDEs and DEs.If one can go through the list of the SSAs to which the options are called for,it is evident that ,options are called for to those SSAs from where the SDEs and DEs are transferred against the wishes of executives and association.

In spite of the association clearly indicating that the transfers are to be minimised and representations if any be considered, the administartion chose to transfer and releive them by force.

Now, that the administartion is calling for options to these SSAs from the cadre of SDEs and DEs clearly indicate that the administration acted hastily and we feel that they should have reconsidered the transfers from among these SSAs,particularly Kurnool and Chittoor.

Now that the association demands that before posting any new SDE or DE the representations of the SDEs and DEs from among these SSAs are to be invariably considered,other wise the executives tend to lose confidence in the administartion.

Comrades,please think and debate the devolopments and act.

4.12.2 Man-power Costs:

a. Voluntary Retirement Scheme:With the present situation of outgo of revenues up to 43% towards the staff costs (against the industry range of less than 10%), it becomes imperative that we must put some scheme for the reduction of manpower of the organization, if we have to improve upon the outlook and bottom line of the company. An attractive VRS scheme must be made available to the willing employee who wishes to exercise such option. It is felt that there may exist a good chunk of staff within the company, who somehow feel a disconnect with the company for whatever reasons, who would like to opt for VRS & pursue their own paths in view of the enormous opportunities in the open industry.

However, BSNL should also be wary of competent trained staff leaving in large numbers. In such cases, there is need to add some incentive to link an attractive VRS scheme to such offers as a priority for eligible employees to become BSNL‟s franchisee that makes it possible for BSNL to leverage on their knowledge base and competence levels. For example, for a line-man who has the ability to remove faults, knows the art of fault tracing and how cables are routed, etc, franchisee-ship would incentivise him to work productively as he gets a revenue share as reward.

14-6-2011:- CS writes to GM(HRD) regarding consideration of request transfers prior to the volunteers for less preferred SSAs,as some of the requests are readily pending.

13-6-2011:- ***RCOM PAID INTERCONNECTION CHARGES TO BSNL***:-Anil Ambani-led RCom today claimed it has paid Rs 533 crore as interconnection charges to BSNL and termed its disconnection by BSNL from its network as a "breach of agreement".

PoI is a system in which a telecom operator provides its network to other telecom operators for routing of calls for a fee.

26-5-2011:- Assuring full support from the government, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal today said he is committed to turnaround BSNL, which has been running into huge losses for the last two years.The state-run telecom operator has been facing stiff competition from private operators and has been forced to rethink its strategy.

"BSNL mobile and landline subscriber base is declining, broadband subscribers are also not matching the pace of private players. So it is time BSNL tighten up its shoes and I am committed to turaround the organisation in the next six months," Sibal told reporters here.BSNL has failed to cash in on its huge land and network assets, which is one of the largest in the country.

Once the country's flagship telecom company, BSNL posted a net loss of Rs 1,823 crore on revenue of Rs 32,046 crore in 2009-2010. The company had net profit of over Rs 10,000 crore in 2005-06.

"BSNL has a unique position because it has a government backing with the private operators don't have. Unique in terms of network and coverage, but has not been able to earn a good name because the organisation is running into huge losses for the last few years," Sibal said.

BSNL CMD R K Upadhyaya had said the company is mulling entering into new business areas in the telecom sector to turnaround and may also approach the government to come out with a scheme to unlock the value of real estate owned by it.

"The government will provide all the support required to BSNL to turn things around," Sibal said.

In its projections to the government, BSNL is expected to to post a net loss of Rs 2,725 crore on revenue of Rs 31,738 crore during 2010-11, and the loss is expected to narrow to Rs 623 crore on revenue of Rs 36,569 crore during the current fiscal year (2011-12).

After defence and railways, BSNL is the country's largest landholder. Its properties span 3,500 towns across India worth thousands of crores, making it the largest state-owned companies in terms of land assets.So far, BSNL's land holdings are under the Department of Telecom (DoT).

The PSU has slipped from number two position in number of telecom subscribers to number four in view of intense competition from the private players.The PSU has a big handicap of not being present in India's two top markets -- Delhi and Mumbai -- as in these two metros another PSU MTNL operates.The government is also contemplating merging BSNL and MTNL to help both the companies come back to profitability.

19-5-2011:- New Delhi, May 18: The department of telecom (DoT) has revived the plan to merge Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd with Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd.The DoT has asked the two service providers to synergise their operations and function as one entity to offer services on a pan-India basis.

The telecom department plans to set up a multi-stakeholder committee to develop a restructuring plan for the firms. “There are valid arguments in favour of the merger and we are considering it. However, even if the two entities are not merged immediately, they can, at present, work out a mode of functioning as a pan-India service provider,” DoT officials said.Analysts said one of the benefits of functioning as a single entity could be seamless connectivity for subscribers without any roaming charges.

At present, BSNL and MTNL have roaming arrangements with each other.The move will also give the PSUs an opportunity to expand in the face of dipping revenue and market share.Both the companies have lost a substantial amount of market share and seen a dip in revenues because of low tariffs and stiff competition from private operators.The PSUs together enjoy around 12 per cent share of the mobile market.

For the first time since its inception in 2000, BSNL had suffered a loss of Rs 1,823 crore in 2009-10. MTNL’s loss stood at Rs 1,099.5 crore in the fourth quarter ended March.

The DoT has been considering the merger for two to three years. However, opposition from employee unions, different organisational structures and the fact that MTNL is a listed entity while BSNL is not stood in the way of a concrete decision. According to MTNL chairman and managing director Kuldip Singh, “The merger is for the government to decide, but bringing synergy is one of the objectives of the merger. The idea of synergy is to provide seamless connectivity to the customers.”

He said single window services such as one billing and redressal mechanism for subscribers of both the firms were being looked into.MTNL offers services in Delhi and Mumbai, while BSNL operates in the rest of the country. Both have received third-generation spectrum before the auction for private players but could not take advantage of it.The Board for Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises had recommended the merger of MTNL and telecom equipment manufacturer ITI with BSNL.

18-5-2011:- CS along with BP(CO) and BS(CO) met GM(HRD) and discussed the issue of transfer orders to the JTOs/SDEs and DEs who have been waiting for the orders considering their request having completed the tenure,58 years and on spouse grounds.The abnormal delay in not finalising the issue has created demotivation among the executives and leading to lot of rumours.Administration is requested to take measures to instil confidence in the executives.The cases of request transfers of PA/PS cadre also was discussed and it was assured that similar approach will be made.DGM(Admn) also was present during the discussions.

18-5-2011:- CS writes to GM(HRD) for reviewing the decision of rejecting the applications of MBA aspirants by the circle administration.It was reiterated that any decision has to be prospective and not retrospective.

To achieve this, BSNL plans to enter new business areas in the telecom sector and may also approach the Government to seek permission for unlocking the value of real estate owned by it.

“We have to maximise our revenues from the existing levels. Then, there are a whole lot of business opportunities available in the market to tap. With the kind of reach BSNL has, it should not be very difficult to get a major share of enterprise business. Many new avenues for unlocking the value are on the anvil,” Mr Upadhyay said.

“We will definitely emerge from the financial crisis,” he added just 3 days after he was given the responsibility to head the public sector company.

BSNL had posted a net loss of Rs 1,823 crore on revenue of Rs 32,046 crore in 2009-10. It had recorded a net profit of over Rs 10,000 crore in 2005-06. According to estimates, BSNL is expected to post a net loss of Rs 2,725 crore on revenue of Rs 31,738 crore during 2010-11. BSNL has also been steadily losing market share.

18-4-2011:- CS discussed the issue of transfers of executives with the GM(HRD).

18-4-2011:- *****GOVT NOT BOUND BY UNDERTAKINGS IN RECRUITMENT RULES: SC*****

New Delhi, Apr 17: The Supreme Court has ruled that the government has absolute constitutional power to amend recruitment rules with retrospective effect, including age of superannuation, irrespective of any undertaking given to employees.

A bench of Justices Markandeya Katju and Gyan Sudha Mishra in a judgement said even if the government had given any undertaking to the employees, the same was not binding as recruitment rules' powers emanating from Article 309 of the Constitution were absolute.

"A rule made under the proviso to Article 309 is a legislative act. It is not a piece of delegated legislation like a rule made under a statute. Hence it can be amended retrospectively."When rules are framed under Article 309 of the Constitution, no undertaking need be given to anybody and the rules can be changed at any time. For instance, if the retirement age is fixed by rules framed under Article 309, that can be changed subsequently by an amendment even in respect of employees appointed before the amendment," Justice Katju observed.

The apex court passed the ruling while setting aside an Allahabad High Court judgement which held that public sector firm BSNL cannot change the rules of recruitment if the organisation had given any prior undertaking to the employees.

In this case, the BSNL in 2005 had brought in certain amendment to the recruitment rules vis-a-vis appointment of Hindi language officers that all posts should be filled up by 'Limited Competitive Examinations.' The amended rules according to the aggrieved employees were contrary to the written assurance given by the government an year before that the rules would not be changed for the next three years.

The BSNL defended the move saying it was required to fill up the posts through competent and suitable candidates.However, the high court struck down the amended rule saying the government cannot retract on its own undertaking given to the employees. Aggrieved BSNL appealed in the apex court.

Upholding the appeal, the apex court said a conscious decision was taken in 2005 providing that all the posts in question should be filled up by the Limited Internal Competitive Examination."This was a policy decision and we cannot see how the High Court could have found fault with it. It is well settled that the court cannot ordinarily interfere with policy decisions."Hence, we cannot accept the view taken by the high court. There is no question of equity in this case because it is well settled that law prevails over equity if there is a conflict. Equity can only supplement the law, and not supplant it. As the Latin maxim states 'Dura lex sed lex' which means The law is hard, but it is the law," the apex court said.

3)Much of the reserves are spent during 2010-11,for spectrum charges,payment to LIC for leave encashment etc, and hence only some temporary financial problem is encountered.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO

1) Let us not be taken away by the rumours.Let us instil confidence among the staff at all the levels.

2) Let us try to save any amount by spending less,however small it may be, as even the ocean is a collection of drops of water.

The event is marked by public gatherings of Muslims. At these meetings religious leaders make speeches about the life of the Prophet.Stories are told about different aspects of the life of the Prophet, his birth, childhood, youth and adult life.The most important part of Eid Milad-Un-Nabi is focusing upon the character of the Prophet; on his teachings, sufferings, and how he forgave even his most bitter enemies.Muslims think about the leadership of the Prophet, his bravery, wisdom, preaching and his final triumph over the Meccan Muslims.

As well as recounting the Prophet's life, salutations and songs in his praise are recited. In some countries, streets and mosques are decorated and illuminated at night.Some Muslims donate to charity. Families gather together, feasts are arranged and food is served to guests and the poor.

10-2-2011:-

New Delhi: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Wednesday submitted fresh recommendations on 2G spectrum pricing,steeply raising the estimated value of spectrum beyond 6.2 MHz held by incumbent operators.Telecom industry sources said this could result in a hit of Rs 16,000 crore to existing operators,including Rs 6,000 crore to BSNL,Rs 4,000 crore to Bharti,Rs 1,743 crore to Vodafone and Rs 70 crore to Reliance Communications.

The recommendations are bound to cause further infighting within the already deeply divided industry.However,telecom minister Kapil Sibal in a TV interview said they were acceptable to him as they largely in line with the stand he announced recently.

The report was prepared by four well known academics external to Trai.They have come up with various estimates of the value of 2G spectrum.

Going by Trais new pricing benchmarks,the estimate of the loss caused to the exchequer due to the 2G scam could be below CAGs estimate of up to Rs 1.76 lakh.Unlike Trai,CAG has taken the line that all start-up spectrum given since 2008 should be subject to a market price,not just spectrum allocated beyond 6.2MHz.While detailed calculations are yet to emerge,the report has fairly significant implications on the current policy environment. Firstly,it comes at a time when the CBI,under a specific direction of the Supreme Court,is investigating CAG-reported losses.With this new report and the fact that the estimated losses will now have to be recalculated,the investigation itself could go into a tailspin at least in arriving at an accurate loss figure.

26-1-2011:- AIBSNLEA AP greets you all on the eve of "REPUBLIC DAY".

14-1-2011:- Makar Sankranti is one of the most auspicious occasions for the Hindus, and is celebrated in almost all parts of the country , with great devotion, fervour & gaiety. It is a harvest festival. Makar Sankranti is perhaps the only Indian festival whose date always falls on the same day every year i.e. the 14th of January.

Makar Sankranti is the day when the glorious Sun-God begins its ascendancy and entry into the Northern Hemisphere and thus it signifies an event wherein the Sun-God seems to remind their children that 'Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya', may you go higher & higher, to more & more Light and never to Darkness.

To Hindus, the Sun stands for knowledge, spiritual light and wisdom. Makar Sankranti signifies that we should turn away from the darkness of delusion in which we live, and begin to enjoy a new life with bright light within us to shine brighter and brighter. We should gradually begin to grow in purity, wisdom, and knowledge, even as the Sun does from the Day of Makar Sankranti.

The festival of Makar Sankranti is highly regarded by the Hindus from North to down South. The day is known by various names and a variety of traditions are witnessed as one explores the festival in different states.

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS SANKRANTI

20-12-2010:- To give a major push to the broadband penetration in the country, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has on Wednesday recommended setting up a ‘National Broadband Network' at a cost of about Rs.60,000 crore. The move will help achieve a penetration of 75 million broadband connections by the year 2012 and 160 million broadband connections by 2014.

The NBN will be financed by universal service obligation (USO) fund and loan given or guaranteed by the central government. It will be an open access optical fibre network available to all platforms and will be finally extended to connect all habitations with population of 500 and above.

The network will be set up in two phases. In the first phase, all cities, urban areas and gram panchayats will be covered by the year 2012. In the Phase II, the network will be extended to all habitations having a population more than 500 by the year 2013. By the end of the project, the country will have at least 22 million DSL, 78 million cable and 60 million wireless broadband connections.

An effective National Broadband network would greatly facilitate inclusive growth of the country by including the large rural population in governance and decision making process and extend to the rural areas better education, health and banking facilities, said the telecom regulator in a letter to the secretary, department of telecom (DoT).

The TRAI pointed out that India has just 0.8% broadband penetration compared with the teledensity of 60.99% as of September 2010. As a result, number of broadband connections in the country was as low as 10.3 million as against a target of 20 million by the year 2010 and over 700 million telephone connections. Such a difference can only be bridged through a national plan, argued TRAI.

As per the roadmap laid by the regulator, a National Optical Fibre Agency (NOFA) will be created for setting up the NBN. The NOFA will be owned by the centre government and will set up networks in all the 63 cities covered under Jawahar Lal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNURM). Besides, each state will have a state optical fibre agency (SOFA) with 51% equity from NOFA and 49% by the respective state government. NOFA would be the holding company of all SOFAs.

Comrades,remember that there was a proposal to shift staff from BSNL to the new PSU "NOFA".Let us watch the devolopments carefully.

18-12-2010:- NEW DELHI: Amid the demand from Civil Aviation Ministry for induction of Rs 1,200 crore as fresh equity into Air India, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the government is actively considering helping the national carrier.Along with the Air India, state-owned telecom firm BSNL is also likely to get the government support.

"Enterprises which are facing difficulties, such as Air India and BSNL, are receiving the due attention of the government," Singh said. The Prime Minister was addressing an award function of the Department Public Enterprises and PSUs' body SCOPE here.Saddled with the loss of Rs 5,551 crore in 2009-10, Air India is seeking induction of fresh equity to improve its balance sheet.

Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel met Plan Panel Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia yesterday in this regard.Cabinet note on equity infusion proposal has already been circulated among the key economic ministries including Finance. If the proposal is approved, it would be the second tranche of equity infusion since 2008-09 when Rs 800 crore was released to the beleaguered carrier.

BSNL, which used to be the flagship telecom company, lost market share to the private sector operators and posted its first loss at Rs 1,822.65 crore in 2009-10.Talking about the ailing public sector units, the Prime Minister said that 20 out of 39 companies revived by the Board of Reconstruction of Public Enterprises, were making profits."We must ensure that these improvements are sustained in the long run, and these companies do not need to come back to the government for fresh revival packages," he added.

17-12-2010:- Muharram The Shia Muslims consider Muharram to be the period of mourning and remembering martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Husain. They start mourning from the 1st night of Muharram and continue for the next 2 months and 8 days. Nonetheless, the first ten days of Muharram have more significance. Shia Muslims put on black dresses on the first day of Muharram and attend majlis (assemblies) where the orators narrate incidents of the battle of Karbala, Hazrat Imam Husain and his people. The black color is regarded as the color of mourning. They even keep themselves away from music and joyous events, such as weddings, that are likely to distract them from the sorrowful remembrance of the event.

On the 10th day, Shia Muslims take out large processions through the streets carrying banners and colorfully decorated taziyahs (bamboo and paper replicas of the martyrs) embellished with gilt and mica. They even carry colorful replicas of the mausoleum of Hazrat Imam Husain at Karbala. Shia Muslims walk barefoot on the roads, while the drums are beaten in the background. They chant and weep loudly as an act of mourning for Husain, his family and his followers. To express their grief on the death of Hazrat Imam Husain, they beat their chest with hands, known as matam. Others flagellate their bodies with chains or whips, consisting of small knives and sharp objects, thereby drawing out blood. Wrestlers and dancers even enact scenes that depict the battle of Karbala.

BSNL NEWS** ZTE, the Chinese telecom company, has emerged to be the lowest bidder in BSNL's GSM network tender for deploying 5.5 million telephone lines in the northern and eastern parts of the country. This after the government denied permission to ZTE to supply GSM equipment to BSNL citing security concern, reports Manoj Gairola of Hindustan Times. The bidders for the GSM equipment suplly included companies like Huawei, Nokia Siemens and Alcatel Lucent. The Home Ministry had ruled that it was compulsory for all the vendors to share their source code with the government. This ruling led to Ericsson, which accounted for 50 percent of BSNL's existing network, pulling out of the tender citing it will not be able to meet the security guidelines issued by the ministry.

Here BSNL will face a crucial challenge with regard to the technology. It will be a humongous task for BSNL to integrate the new technology with the existing network. It will also require the operator to shift existing equipment to another location and install the new equipment.

Home Ministry had been advised by Intelligence agencies to prevent telecom operators from using Chinese equipment in networks due to security reasons. This led BSNL to cancel a tender with Huawei of 93 million lines, leaving Ericsson to be the sole bidder in few circles.

15-11-2010

:::::WHAT IS THIS 2G SPECTRUM CONTRAVERSY:::::

Here is a background on the 2G spectrum controversy that resulted in Communications and IT Minister A Raja resigning on Sunday.The issue dates to 2008 when nine telecom companies were issued scarce airwaves and licences for second generation (2G) mobile phone services at Rs 1,658 crore (less that USD 350 million) for a pan-India operation. As many as 122 circle-wise licences were issued.

The Opposition said that by giving the airwaves cheap, that too in the controversial manner of first-cum-first-served basis, the exchequer had lost billions of dollars. The cut-off date for applications was also arbitrarily advanced.Later, based on the auction of airwaves for third generation (3G) services, which got nearly USD 15 billion to the exchequer, and that for broadband access, which fetched over USD 8.5 billion, the notional loss was estimated at USD 38 billion to the exchequer.

But Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself defended Raja's decision and said on May 24 that all that his communications minister had done was to implement a policy already in place and none of the norms were flouted. The Opposition further stepped up its attack with two examples on 2G auction.

A new player, Swan Telecom, bought licences for 13 circles with the necessary spectrum for USD 340 million but managed to sell a 45-percent stake in the company to UAE's Etisalat for USD 900 million. This swelled its valuation to USD 2 billion without a single subscriber.- Another new player, Unitech, paid USD 365 million as licence fee but sold a 60-percent stake to Norway's Talenor for USD 1.36 billion, taking its valuation to nearly USD 2 billion, again without a single subscriber.Similarly, another licensor, Datacom, later became Videocon Mobile and Stel now has large stake by Baharian Telecom. The other companies are Tata Tele, Idea Cellular, Loop Telecom, Shyam Telelink and Spice.

23-9-10 :*****BSNL LISTING ONLY AFTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVES*****

New Delhi: The government has made it clear that it will not go public with state-run BSNL until the financial performance of the telecom PSU improves. "The issue of listing would be taken after the performance of BSNL improves to get the right valuation and after obtaining the views of different stakeholders, like staff union and associations," DoT said in a reply to queries sent by Public Accounts Committee on performance of BSNL.

The disinvestment in BSNL will pave the way for the IPO and consequent listing on the stock exchanges.BSNL has posted its first ever net loss of over Rs 1,822 crore in the last financial year from a net profit of over 574 crore in 2008-09 and over Rs 10,183 crore in 2004-05.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had constituted a committee headed by Sam Pitroda to look into the reasons for BSNL's poor performance and suggest ways to improve it.The Pitroda panel had suggested among other things, 30 per cent disinvestment in the telecom PSU.The proposal met with stiff opposition from the employees' unions and associations of BSNL, which were against any move to offload government's equity in the company.

Meanwhile, DoT has constituted an internal committee headed by Member (Services) to look into the recommendations of Sam Pitroda panel and give its report after taking inputs from BSNL management and employee associations. BSNL, which has been facing competition from private players, saw its market share (GSM and WLL) declining to 11.44 per cent in June 2010 from 15.64 per cent in March 2008.

The case of granting Navratna status, under which cash-rich PSUs are given a certain autonomy with regard to investments and other financial transactions, to BSNL will also be considered only after its listing.The apex committee under chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary in its meeting held in July 2008, had made the listing of Central PSUs a pre-condition for granting Navratna status.

Besides disinvestment, Pitroda commitee also suggested voluntary retirement to over one lakh staff as part of steps to improve BSNL's financial health.

19-9-10 :CS and CP attended the District conference of GUNTUR branch.CWC member also attended.During the conference a seminar on "THE ROLE OF BSNL IN THE PRESENT COMPETETIVE ENVIRONMENT" which was addressed by all the DGMs and CS and CP gave their version of protecting the BSNL.

CS discussed about the Myth that the staff have,The reality and in the circumstances what is to be done.

The myth being that the staff salaries are more.We can't compete.That it is dooming.Our work is not technically good.We cant'come out of the losses etc,.

While the reality is that staff is technically qualified.They had seen/participated in the transformation of the company/department from the days of magneto/manual exchanges to new technology exchanges.Hence the contention that staff is not competetive is wrong.We are not paid more.To be precise we deserve a better pay package.Let us remember that our company was one of the A1 company and it was recommended better pay packages.The losses are not due to the staff at all .It is because of the wrong policies of Govt,it's step motherly treatment,Powerless board etc,..The reality being that Govt has withdrawn it's support.Not ordering the equipment in time.ADC is abolished.Govt has gone back on it's promises.

Let us not worry about the loss only.Let us regain the past glory.In company structure loss due to various reasons is possible.But that does not mean we are out.The message is some people to this effect is misleading.

What to do.Let us tighten our belts.Let us work for full 8 hours.If required executives let us work for some more time.Say 9 hours a day.Let us motivate our staff.Let us hear to the guidance of our leaders.First let us question ouselves.Next let us question our superiors.Let us question our subordinates.Things can be set right.Let us not get demotivated by certainn individuals.

Let every day begin with a strong notion/beleif/prayer that we will do better definitely it will be best.

Some issues pertained to services also ewre discussed.

1)CLOSURE OF DNP TELEPHONES AFTER 3 MONTHS;-We brought to the notice of CGMT that in many of the SSAs the telephones which are under DNP for more than 3 months are not getting closed giving false picture to the administration about the real working numbers.This has got to be corrected.All the branch secretaries are to ensure correct disconnections and to have correct figures about working lines.IF not the same may be brought to the notice of the administartion immediately.

2)SCRAPPING ASND DISPOSAL OF UNSERVICEABLE STORES IN THE FIELD.:-We have brought the issue to the notice of the CGMT that in many places lot of unserviceable stores are lying occupying lot of valuable space.Such material is neither useful to the organisation nor any action taken to dispose it off.This situation should not continue in the interest of BSNL.All the executives are requested to kindly take necessary action to either dispose off or put to right use.If not we may loose.

3)REVIEW OF SANCTIONED POSTS IN VIEW OF ACTUAL WORKING LINES:-We requested CGMT to please arrive at the justified strength in view of the real working numbers including that of mobile telephones and recalculate the sanctioned strength.We expressed our serious cocern to the declining number of SDEs who are real work force and review of senior executive posts and if required we may upgrade/down grade the senior slot.All the district secretaries may calculate the right numbers required and pusue with the administartion.

11-9-10 : Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated on the birthday of Lord Ganesh (Ganesha), the god of wisdom and prosperity on the fourth day of the moons bright fortnight, or period from new moon in the lunar month of Bhadrapada. important. Ganesha is the god of wisdom and prosperity and is invoked before the beginning of any auspicious work. It is believed that for the fulfillment of one's desires, his blessing is absolutely necessary. According to the mythology, he is the son of Shiva and Parvati, brother of Kartikeya - the general of the gods, Lakshmi - the goddess of wealth and Saraswati-the goddess of learning. Legend has it that Parvati created Ganesha out of the sandalwood dough that she used for her bath and breathed life into him. Letting him stand guard at the door she went to have her bath. When her husband, Shiva returned, the child who had never seen him stopped him. Shiva severed the head of the child and entered his house. Parvati, learning that her son was dead, was distraught and asked Shiva to revive him. Shiva cut off the head of an elephant and fixed it on the body of Ganesha.

Another tale tells of how one day the Gods decided to choose their leader and a race was to be held between the brothers- Kartikeya and Ganesh. Whoever took three rounds of the earth first would be made the Ganaadhipati or the leader. Kartikeya seated on a peacock as his vehicle, started off for the test. Ganesh was given a rat, which moved swiftly. Ganesh realised that the test was not easy, but he would not disobey his father. He reverently paid obeisance to his parents and went around them three times and thus completed the test before Kartikeya. He said, " my parents pervade the whole universe and going around them, is more than going round the earth." Everybody was pleasantly surprised to hear Ganesha's logic and intelligence and hence he came to be known as the Ganaadhipati or leader, now referred to as Ganpati.

There is also a story behind the symbolic snake, rat and the singular tusk. During one of his birthdays, His mother, Parvati, cooked for him twenty-one types of delicious food and a lot of sweet porridge. Ganesha ate so much that even his big belly could not contain it. Mounting his little mouse, he embarked on his nightly rounds. His mouse suddenly stumbled upon seeing a huge snake. To adjust His belly, Ganesha put the snake on as a belt around his stomach. All of a sudden, he heard laughter emanating form the sky. He looked up and saw the moon mocking him. Ganesha infuriated, broke off one of his tusks and hurled it at the moon. Parvati, seeing this, immediately cursed the moon that whoever looks at it on Ganesh Chaturthi will be accused of a wrong doing.

BEST WISHES FOR GANESH CHATURTHI

This information was given by the Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology, Shri Sachin Pilot in a written reply to a Question in Rajya Sabha today.

26-08-2010 :-On continuous pursuation by the association, Circle office has called for options for Officiating promotions to the cadre of JAG(Telecom ENGG).

26-08-2010 :-It is reliably learnt that few more regular promotions to the cadre of DE, to the tune of around 700,are likely to be issued in a day or two.

22-08-2010 :-As many as 132 applicants, mostly from the PSUs, have applied for the top post of BSNL's CMD, while there was a lukewarm response from the corporate sector. Out of 132 applications that the PSU has received, 84 are from officials working with BSNL itself or two other government owned firms — MTNL and TCIL.

According to sources, very few people have applied from the private sector. Additional Secretary in Department of Telecom, Mr Subodh Kumar, who has already been empanelled for the post of Secretary, is understood to have applied for the post. Besides, other big names include TCIL Chairman and Managing Director, Mr R.K. Upadhyay, ITI Chairman, Mr K.L. Dhingra and others.

The government had invited applications from candidates in the public and private sector for the post of Chairman and Managing Director of BSNL. August 16, 2010 was the last day for submitting the applications.

If a candidate from the private sector is selected, it will be the first time that the telecom PSU will be headed by a chief from the private sector.The government has constituted a Search-cum-Selection panel headed by the Cabinet Secretary for finding a suitable candidate for the post.

As per the terms and conditions of the job, the government has offered a maximum package of up to Rs 30 lakh (Rs 3 million) annually for the post.Sources said that the salary package acted as a deterrent for people in corporate sector. A CMD in a private firm can earn somewhere up to Rs 3 crore, however, BSNL was offering only Rs 30 lakh.

The selection process for BSNL is being done as part of restructuring to make it financially viable, as recommended by the Sam Pitroda panel. After BSNL's CMD, Kuldip Goyal retired on July 31, Mr Gopal Das is the acting CMD. The new CMD of telecom PSU BSNL will be hired on a contract basis with a fixed term of three years, which can be further extended for three years based on performance evaluation by an external expert group.

Feel previleged to be with you all.We have witnessed the rich culture and heritage of GOA.We are passing through a critical juncture.This year we have posted a loss of around 1800 Cr against a profit of around 500 Cr previous year.Firce competition and down fall in tariff are the main reasons.For other operators stff expenditure is to the tune of 10-12% while for us it is to the tune of 40%,which is very high.We have to find out how we can cope up.While competetion is there but there are oppertunities also.We have aroungd 15% of customers out of around 652million customers.During next three years the growth is likely to be doubled,which we have to encash by firm determination and should take BSNL to greater heights.MNP is coming and only quality of service matters much and hence we have to take care of Customers' needs and service quality.

We ahve lot of exch capacity and copper cable also,which we have to utilise properly.DEs/SDEs have to have weekly meetings with staff and explain them the marketing needs and that we are no more a monopoly.Telecom services have become FMCG.We have to generate more demand and then only we can make profits.The advantages of L/L are to be explained to customers.

In mobile sector quality of service is to be improved.Retail sales are to be improved and monitored up on.

Restructuring is in progress.CFA,CMA and EB are formed and every wing is given specific duties.EB has to be given special focus.

New business is also to be taken care of.Sharing of infrastructure has to be taken in a big way.We have to do it as we need lot of revenue.Only few BTSs are shared.We have to increase the same.

Band width has to be shared.We have best transmission net work,and band width is readily available.CDR soft implementation will enhance our efficiency and faster decisions can be taken.

many issues are settled such as lot of adhoc promotions,regularisation of adhoc STS officers.By next six months we should be able to give maximum B/B connections and the capacity has to be fully utilised.If we take care of customer,Customer will take care of us and shortly we can be number 1 telecom service provider in INDIA.

This DPC was initiated in January 2009 to fill up 2400 DEs vacant posts on adhoc basis but delayed due to some court cases and after finalisation of court cases again restarted in June 2010 and found that during the period many OC/SC/ST SDEs have retired. Hence in absence of ACRs / VCRs of required SC/ST SDEs, the OC candidates promotion could not be made. Though their ACRs / VCRs were available for DPC.

AIBSNLEA expressed its serious resentment against non-filling up of 2400 DEs posts as approved by the competent authority and demanded that the required ACRs/VCRs of eligible SC/ST candidates should immediately be called to fill up all vacant DEs posts immediately. Director (HR) assured that immediately the ACRs/VCRs of all eligible OC/SC/ST SDEs will be called and he directed GM (Pers) to issue the promotion order to fill up all vacant DEs posts by the end of July 2010.

We are extremely thankful to the Dir (HR), GM (Pers), DGM (Pers), CVO, DGM (Vig) and the officers and staff of Pers Cell and Vigilance Cell for their extraordinary efforts in completing the DPC process and issuing the posting order on promotion. We request all newly promoted DEs to contribute more with greater zeal and motivation for the growth of BSNL.

27-5-2010 :-***BUDDA PURNIMA***One of the greatest spiritual teachers of mankind which Bharat has produced is undoubtedly, Buddha.

Siddhartha, the only son of Shuddhodana, the King of Kapilavastu situated at the foot of Himalayas, was prophesied by the royal astrologer to become either a famous emperor or a world-renowned ascetic.

Siddhartha grew of age without ever knowing what misery or sorrow was. One day the prince desired to see the city. The King ordered that the city should be all gay and grand, so that everywhere his son would meet with only pleasing sights. However, an old and crippled man by the roadside happened to catch Siddhartha's eye. On enquiries of Siddhartha, Chenna,the charioteer informed that the old man was of fine shape in his young age and that every human being had to become like him after the youthful days are past.

King Shuddhodana, in order to cheer up his spirits, again ordered for his son's procession in the capital, but on subsequent rounds, Siddhartha came across a sick man and a corpse being carried to the funeral ground. Again it was Chenna, the charioteer, who explained that human beings were prone to illness and that death inevitably awaited man at the end. As luck would have it, on his final round, Siddhartha saw a person, his face beaming with job and tranquility, and heard from Chenna that he was an ascetic who had triumphed over the worldly temptations, fears and sorrows and attained the highest bliss of life.

And that clinched the thoughts of the young prince. He was then hardly twenty-nine. In that full bloom of youth, in the midnight of a full-moon day, he bade good-bye to his dear parents, his beloved wife Yashodhara and sweet little child Rahul and all the royal pleasures and luxuries, and departed to the forest to seek for himself answers for the riddles of human misery.

For seven long years, Siddhartha roamed in the jungles, underwent severe austerities and finally, on the Vaishaakha Poornima Day, the supreme light of Realization dawned on him. He thereafter became Buddha, the Enlightened One. Buddha's life abounds in such instances when he honored and upheld the purity and devotion of the lowliest in the society. The spiritual and moral forces generated by Buddha have strengthened and enriched Hinduism and helped to wean it from perversions which had set in at that time.

The present-day sublime thoughts and convictions of a common Hindu owe not a little to the life and preachings of Buddha. And Buddha himself has been revered as an Avataar of God by Hindus.

Buddha passed into eternity after completing his Sahasra Chandra Darshana i.e., 1000 full moon days (80th year) on the full moon day of Vaishaakha - the day of his birth as also of his Enlightenment. And to this day, Buddha lives on as a beacon-light to billions the world over, who yearn for the peace and well-being of all living creation.

10-1-2010: :::VERY IMPORTANT NEWS ITEM:::** NEW DELHI** Concerned over deteriorating financial health and competitiveness of state-run telecom firm BSNL, the government has constituted a h igh-level committee, headed by Sam Pitroda and Deepak Parekh as member, to look into the issues and give recommendations within a month.

This was decided at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last week to review the performance of two telecom PSUs - BSNL and MTNL.

"There was an agreement that the situation of BSNL required immediate action to address both the short as well as long term issues affecting its financial health and competitiveness," the Prime Minster's Office (PMO) said here.

On the position of another PSU - MTNL (that offers services only in two metros of Delhi and Mumbai) - was comparatively better and the issues concerning it be considered in the normal course, separately, it added.

The committee, headed by Pitroda, Adviser to PM on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovation, would also look into BSNL's ongoing Rs 35,000 crore GSM expansion tender.

The tender has been marred by controversies and is in limbo since last more than a year and the PSU has not been able to place the order affecting its market share in the fastest growing mobile telephony.

"It was felt that the approach to be followed for addressing the issues concerning BSNL required assessment and inputs of experts," the PMO said, adding the committee would have Deepak Parikh, a noted banker, and Telecom Secretary P J Thomas as other members and they have been asked to give recommendations within a month.

BSNL's revenues dipped by about 12 per cent in 2008-09 to over Rs 33,000 crore but its market share especially in the mobile telephony took much bigger hit as it came down to fifth place from the third in last four years.

According to PMO, the issue of BSNL's GSM phase-VI tender (to add 93 million lines) was also briefly discussed and it was agreed that the committee under Pitroda may look into it in its totality and suitably advise the Department of Telecom.

Sources also said that the meeting also considered disinvestment in BSNL at the earliest in order to improve its working to match the private sector.

This, however, is being opposed by the employees unions and the Telecom Minister A Raja has various rounds of negotiations with them to move forward on this.
