As per earlier instructions SAP-ERP entries relating to PwBD status of finance personnel including those who got Retired/VR/VRS/Resigned/ Expired/promoted to higher grade etc for the period from 30/06/2016 and onwards was to be updated but till date, the required data is not received from most of Circles and hence the promotions of Executives recruited under PwBD Category in Account wing.

Now SEA section has  requested to submit the compliance report/ certificate are to be furnished latest by 14/12/2024 positively.

SNEA CHQ a along with GS DEWAB is pursuing this issue for long time and this non-receipt of data is reason why reservations in Promotions under PwBD category are not implemented for cadres other than AGM Telecom.

AGM Estt BSNL CO writes to all Circles Heads calling for information regarding sanctioned and working strength of JTOs/JEs/TT cadres Telecom wing. Copy<<<>>

Though Rule 8 Request transfers are effective for JTOs/JEs and TTs, the higher number of Rule 8/9 Requests are in JTO Cadre and these are decided on basis of excess/deficit strength of the cadre in that particular Circle.  

This information on working strength of JTOs/JEs/TTs in Telecom wing cadres vis a vis sanctioned strength in territorial circles is required for analyzing and giving consideration to the online inter circle Rule 8 Request transfer in these cadres which are considered on basis of excess/deficit Circle.

Earlier this data was called on Yearly basis and requests were given consideration on this yearly data. In many case, the requests were found feasible due to reduction of working strength and hence SNEA has taken up matter with PGM Estt, BSNL CO , who was kind enough to understand the difficulties faced by the JTOs in implementing Rule 8 transfers. Now it is decided that this data will be taken from all Circle Every month and accordingly the status will be decided every month and Rule 8 Transfers will be made it effective accordingly.

There are such certain issues related to Rule 8 Transfer Policy and PGM Estt BSNL CO is working on such issues so that Rule 8 Transfers are given consideration in Total Transparent manner and without need of influence from anybody.

We convey sincere thanks to Director HR BSNL, PGM Estt BSNL CO and his team for such proactive step and moving ahead towards Transparency in Rule 8 and Rule 9 Request transfers.

This strategic move with positive approach and proactive action by Management has resulted in settlement of many of HR issues submitted by SNEA for this formal agenda submitted in Sep 2024.  Some Important issues resolved in favour of BSNL Executives are as follows.

1. Extension of Laptop Reimbursement Policy to Executives in BSNL: With detailed discussions and studied feedback of SNEA, it has been decided to extend the Laptop Policy to all executives in Field Units by incorporating suggestions submitted by SNEA. We requested to either make it laptop policy as welfare or as for use of office works by taking fresh call on amount of laptop to be reimbursed and by ascertaining possibility of consideration of SNEA request for allotment of laptop without withdrawal of Desktop allotted or in addition to desktops.  By now about 12-13 Circles have updated data in ERP and the policy will be extended to all these Circle. Thus, the modified Laptop policy will be extended for all Executives in field units including JTOs/JAOs with incorporation of about all suggestions given by SNEA and issue of desktop replacement and amount will be reviewed to possible extent.

As such many families of deceased Executives are suffering and we requested for special consideration and review of CG Appointments and payment of certain GTI contribution by BSNL and mainly formation/Creation of Benevolent fund to support families during untimely deaths by calling willingness from Executives for contribution of say Rs 100 per case of death reported and if no death case reported then no need of any such dedication. Deduction of this amount will happen only in case of death and entire amount collected will be handed over to nominated family member of the deceased executive. This proposal of benevolent fund was highly appreciated by Director HR BSNL Board and has immediately given consent for approval of benevolent fund for willing executives and instructed PGM Admn to work on it and submit the proposal. He also directed association to submit detailed proposal on it and firmly assured to stand behind the aggrieved family members by all means and also assured to look into other suggestions by SNEA for extending required support to affected family members.

6.  Restoration of Medical reimbursement limits: DA limit for medical reimbursement amounts frozen since 2020 will be restored to Basic of 1st April of that Financial Year and formal orders for same will be issued shortly. But our  demand for restoration of days was not agreed upon quoting reason that as on today, the given limit of expenditure is not reached by 98% Executives and Non-Executives and for 2% of them crossing limits, the Circle Heads are empowered to approve enhancement. But as we insisted for the same it has been agreed to review this demand on the basis of medical expenses and claims in coming three months or as and when required further.

Initially PGM Admn has taken stand that there is no such precedence till now as no association has used this facility.

GS SNEA made it clear that BSNL Management has to adhere to REA Rules including BSNL Board decision for enhancement of Tenure period of Membership verification with immediate effect OR go ahead with replacement of REA Rules by new guidelines for implementation of proposal by three Major associations, SNEA, AIGETOA and AIBSNLEA covering more than 99% of Executive membership in BSNL.

GS SNEA further conveyed thanks to BSNL Management for extending certain facilities to SNEA as recognised Majority Representative Association and at the same time raised concerned on discrimination and undue delay is granting facility of Mobile Connection to the Office Bearers of SNEA and Residential Accommodation as per the REA Rules.

In conclusion, he specifically appreciated changed approach and very positive attitude of present Management towards its executives and same time keeping focus on overall growth and development of BSNL. He reiterated that present CHQ body has taken stand to go ahead with non-agitational approach/ strike and pursuing the pending HR issues for proper solution with in depth and trust worthy dialogue with BSNL Management.   

There after agenda items were discussed one by one, wherein SNEA leaders have submitted detailed feedback on each and every item and have provided required documentary support in support the concerned demand. Photos <<<>>

SAD NEWS: SNEA lost its die-hard Member & BSNL lost its excellent DGM level officer: SNEA CHQ is deeply saddened by the untimely demise of Mrs. Anagha Shaktiprasad Bhosale, DGM Kolhapur BA MH, on 27/11/2024, after a valiant battle with cancer for last four years. She was just 52 years old and is survived with husband, two daughters undergoing higher education.

Her heavenly exist is life time loss to Bhosale Family and great loss BSNL as well as SNEA as she was excellent, fully devoted and most efficient officer of BSNL and strong member and leader of SNEA since joining duties in BSNL.

Mrs. Angha Bhosale was a lifelong and loyal member of SNEA, always committed to the betterment of her peers and the organization. She had a deep empathy for the deprived and needy, which she expressed through her generous actions.

Despite being diagnosed with third-stage stomach cancer, Mrs. Angha Bhosale demonstrated unparalleled strength and resilience. She faced major surgeries and painful chemotherapies with a brave smile and an unwavering spirit, supported by Vipassana and other meditation techniques. Defeating cancer, she returned to BSNL and devoted her "bonus life" to raising cancer awareness among women. She also contributed generously to an NGO researching affordable cancer treatments, leaving a legacy of hope and compassion.

Mrs. Angha Bhosale was an exceptional individual who lived an inspiring life. A graduate of KIT's College of Engineering, Kolhapur, in E &TC, she secured distinction. She earned a Master’s degree in Engineering, as well as advanced degrees in Social Science and Psychology, showcasing her passion for learning and versatility.

Joining BSNL as a JTO, she showcased her brilliance by cracking the UPSC IES twice, a feat she chose to forgo due to personal reasons. Her professional journey in BSNL was illustrious and marked by dedication and excellence. She rendered her services in BSNL Kolhapur as JTO OCB, SDE Internal, and DE Marketing/EB and during her all India soft tenure in Sindhudurg as an AGM Admin, she proved her mettle in every role. On returning to Kolhapur, she was promoted as DGM and shouldered dual responsibilities in Administration and Planning post-VRS with exceptional skill and commitment.

During the devastating 2019 Kolhapur floods, she donated generously to purchase school materials for ZP school students from below the poverty line. Additionally, she contributed ₹25,000 to BSNL for the critical purchase of optical power meters during a challenging time. It is worth to remember that during entire Covid period she attended the office daily and stayed at frontline boosting the morale of field   staff, she was keen in ensuring safety of all the staff and hygienic workplace for which she pursued to the healthcare authorities to get all our offices sanitized.

Her untimely exist is profound loss and her indomitable spirit, dedication to public service, and selfless contributions to society will continue to inspire us. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

SNEA CHQ conveys deepest condolences to Bhosale Family and prays Almighty for giving them strength to bear this life time loss. May Almighty give Heavenly Abode and Noble Peace for Departed soul of Mrs Angha Bhosale, the great Officer of BSNL.
