AGM TM BRABRITT Jabalpur writes to all Circle Heads regarding cancellation, rescheduling and relocation of EPP Batches of Quarter-3 (2025-26) from RTTC Jaipur to BRBRAITT Jabalpur. Copy<<<>>

This shifting of training at the last moment from RTTC Jaipur to Jabalpur is an effect of premature action by CGM ALTTC to declare functioning of RTTC Jaipur before the minimum required officers for giving training are posted.

But here before issuing posting order of Officers selected for the RTTC Jaipur, CGM ALTTC declared that RTTC Jaipur is fully functional and in one more step ahead of time, he has announced staring of some training courses by calling nominations for these course at RTTC Jaipur through CMTS Portal.  .

But even after two months of declaration of Functioning of RTTC Jaipur by CGM ALTTC, the Pers section BSNL CO has not issued posting orders and no question of joining of officers for giving training.

To cover up issues created due to these before time actions, CGM ALTTC has transferred executives from ALTTC Ghaziabad to Jaipur and except few nobody has joined till date as they have raised their grievances on such transfers and same are duly recommended and forwarded by CGM ALTTC to PGM Pers BSNL. But PGM Pers has neither taken any action on posting of all selected Executives for RTTC Jaipur nor given consideration to requests by affected executives from ALTTC and hence these declared courses.

The main reason given behind shifting Trainings from ALTTC Ghaziabad to Jaipur was non-availability of Hostel accommodation, but Hostel facility is not available at Jaipur also. In ALTTC Ghaziabad at least  Executives were available, but at RTTC Jaipur, neither Executives to impart trainings are available nor the hostel facility is available and hence the trainings should have been continued at ALTTC Ghaziabad, but the same were shifted to RTTC Ghaziabad raising question on real intention of such non-fruitful activities and trouble to all executives for last few months.  

Earlier all these Training courses were conducted from ALTTC, then shifted to RTTC Jaipur and now finally shifted to BRBRAITT Jabalpur.

This in an intelligent idea by CGM ALTTC for shifting office of CGM ALTTC unofficially from ALTTC Ghaziabad to BRBRAITT Jabalpur and till now he has been successful but for this the executives from ALTTC Ghaziabad and also the executives who are supposed to undergo these trainings  earlier at ALTTC Ghaziabad and then at RTTC Jaipur are suffers, but it is unfortunate that neither CGM ALTTC is worried about it nor PGM Pers under Director HR has a reason to worry for the same and are giving free hand to CGM ALTTC to shift HQ from Ghaziabad to Jabalpur without any official order for the same.

Hope time will set everything and everyone right and the suffering of these executives will be stopped. 

AGM Rectt BSNL CO notified LICE for promotion from JE to JTO Telecom under 50% Internal quota for vacancy year 2024. Copy<<<>> Vacancies<<<>> RR 2023<<<>> syllabus<<<>> Exam Center<<<>>

This is just notification and actual time and date for registration, submission of application, date of LICE is not yet decided and the same will be declared at the later stage.

This LICE will be held for filling 274 posts of JTOs including carry forward vacancies spread across different Circles. 

Update on JTO to SDE Promotions Civil wing: SNEA is continuously pursuing JTO to SDE promotions in Civil wing and till now issues have been cleared to better extent. But due to transfer of SDEs/AGMs from Pers DPC section, the process was at a standstill for the last 15 days as matter was struck up at which section had to conduct DPC for these promotions.

Finally, in the meeting held by Director HR BSNL Board last Thursday, it has been decided that DPC will be conducted by JtGM DPC BSNL CO and required approval will be given by DGM Pers II, which is still awaited and expected within a day or two.

SNEA CHQ is taking regular follow up for early promotions orders of JTO to SDE Civil wing with all concerned and hopeful for promotion order in coming week.  

Update on JTO to SDE Promotions Electrical wing: The file of JTO to SDE promotions in Electrical wing is returned earlier by the DPC section is still not re-initiated by the Electrical wing in wait for fresh directions to initiate the DPC process for JTO to SDE Promotions in Electrical wing.

Yesterday, on 10/09/2025, GS SNEA and GS SEWA had a meeting with Shri Rajeev Soni, CGM EW BSNL CO for the same and discussed issues. CGM EW endorsed our concern and expressed that he also desires to see that all JTOs in the Electrical wing need to be promoted at the earliest.  

After elaborate discussions, CGM EW assured that he will discuss with PGM Pers process file for JTO to SDE Promotions of Electrical wing and he was optimistic that with clearance of educational qualification disputes, all JTOs in Electrical wing will be promoted as SDE.

As per discussions, we are hopeful that the process for JTO to SDE Promotions will also be initiated by this week.

Note: It is unfortunate that when we are getting good support from higher officers in this case, issues are struck at lower level, and hence there is delay in issuing long awaited promotion orders of JTO to SDE in Civil as well as Electrical wing.

We sincerely regret for this deliberate and avoidable delay on the part of some individuals who still do not understand the pain of Executives in the Civil/Electrical wing waiting for their first promotion in 27 years of their devoted services.

Anyhow, past is past and we are hopeful that the issues will be settled in this fortnight and accordingly both promotion orders will be issued at the earliest.

Let us respond such initiatives by Government of India as well as State Governments with very positive response by overcoming all hurdles.

Concern about failures in court cases with huge avoidable Legal Expenditure by BSNL and lack of Practical Approach by the BSNL Management:  Director HR writes DO letter to all Circle/Unit Heads including Vertical Heads in BSNL CO, Telecom Factory for timely and effective handling of the Court cases and strict compliance on directions by Legal Cell BSNL CO, Director HR and CMD BSNL in the best interest of the Company.  Copy<<<>>

·  Many such letters are issued even with signature of CMD BSNL but filed units do not bother about instructions in such letters and hence this is also one more such formal DO letter.  

· Though this is letter issued by legal Cell and with signature of Director HR, it is wrongly addressed to non-existing units viz.  Telecom Regions, Telecom Projects and Telecom Stores. It means that legal Cell BSNL CO is unaware about the closure of these units before five years in 2020 with action of restructuring review.

·      This DO letter emphasis on:

1. Litigations impose serious financial implication/ strain on company and diverts manpower from core functions.

2. Every efforts to resolve dispute at pre-litigation stage to avoid minimise exposure. 

3.  Personal Monitoring of all legal cases by CGMs at every stage to ensure that no case is compromised due to negligence, delay,  or lack of diligence.

4. Draft for SLP and Review Petitions for filings in Supreme Court are to be finalized at level of CGM and submitted to Court only after vetting and after approval of Legal Cell BSNL CO.

·   Though CMD BSNL has been stressing for reducing court cases since month of his taking over as CMD BSNL, but over the period number of court cases are increased and it is bitter truth of today.

· Even though this letter is issued with signature of Director HR BSNL stressing for reduction of court cases, the Pers Section working under direct control of Director HR is responsible for majority of cases and in recent pick and choose Transfer orders issued by Pers Section, about 35 court cases are filed in different court cases and no efforts were made to resolve disputes even after repeated requests by individuals. All these actions are in contradiction to directions by Director HR and hence needs serious review.

·  In an unfortunate attempt, efforts are being made to hide fact of violation of Transfer policy guidelines and giving rise to more court cases and hence such DO letters have no meaning and it is one more attempt to complete official formalities.

·    As such, instead of completing just formality by issuing such DO letters, it is required that BSNL Management headed by CMD BSNL has to put real efforts with practical approach towards avoiding court cases by stopping reasons and persons giving rise to court cases and mainly without due seriousness in handling the court cases by understanding the sustainability of stand taken by BSNL in all such avoidable Court cases in different courts.

·      It is important such failures happens when there is huge manpower deployed in legal cells all over India, concerned verticals/ Sections/units dealing with issues are busy in handling cases at BA/Circle/Corporate level and many cases are handled by appointing special Legal consultants for dealing court cases by paying lakhs of rupees to such consultants.

·    It is time to analyse by Director HR and his legal team about the huge Money being paid to Legal consultants by different legal cells and its usefulness with such heavy expenses and stop the consultant and save the huge amount being paid to them.    

·     The officers giving scope for such avoidable court cases needs to be booked first for its accountability and such expenses on avoidable of court cases needs to be recovered from the responsible officer in charge pulling such court cases even after failure at lower courts to the level of Supreme Court and wasting hard earned BSNL Money.

·   As per discussions and directions by CMD BSNL to reduce court cases, SNEA CHQ has given proposal to PGM Pers with its copy and reminders to Director HR and CMD BSNL for implementation of this proposal including holding Telephone Adalat by BSNL to settle avoid/ reduce/close the court cases filed by own executives and Employees of BSNL by deciding cases on merits.

· But it is unfortunate that the management and individuals are ready to accept decisions of courts to some extent, but there is no readiness for settlement of disputes as desired in this DO letter and already proposed by SNEA before three four months.

·  Otherwise some action would have taken on proposal submitted by SNEA to reduce the court cases as desired and directed by CMD BSNL.

·  Recently reporting of CS Legal BSNL CO has been changed from CMD BSNL to Director HR may be for effective handling of court cases.  Copy<<<>>

·   By taking serious note of such huge expenditure and serious lapses, now BSNL Management has decided to form separate cell headed by PGM Legal. Copy<<<>>

·   It is important that willingness for this post of PGM Legal BSNL CO was being called for last two years, but the posting order has been issued now. Copy<<<>>  

·   But, just posting of more PGMs or changing reporting of  PGMs  will not give results desired in this DO letter and there is need of serious practical efforts for resolution of the issues before the same are dragged to the courts and also by personal discussions/hearing with/to petitioners/ applicants on submission of court case and before filing any reply by BSNL to the Court cases filed in the court by individuals so as to find out the solution before expenditure in court cases.

·  As on toady, efforts are being made to just strongly oppose any case filed by individuals/group of Executives without understanding the grievances raised with BSNL and forcing them to take up matter with Court by petition.

·  Minutes of such meetings will definitely help BSNL is defending the court cases in further course of action, but BSNL management has to be serious on it.   

·    Hope at least at this stage, BSNL Management will take proper action and will initiate/take all steps to reduce court cases and stop creating more and more court cases and save huge Money of BSNL is being wasted on avoidable case and there should be remarkable saving in expenditure on court cases.
