With special OM dated 09/04/2026, DoT constituted a high level
Committee to recommend measures for Human Resource (HR) Management of BSNL. Copy<<<>>
It is unfortunate that though the subject of letter is HR management
of BSNL nothing is specifically mentioned about HR management of BSNL and its
executives but the main intention of this letter seems to be continuation
of deputation of ITS officers from DoT in BSNL against directions of PMO.
The terms of reference of this committee are:
a.
Governance of Institutional strengthening of BSNL.
b.
Performance Management and accountability.
c.
Framework for HR sourcing and frame work.
d. Management of ITS officers with focus on deployment of ITS officers
in BSNL.
This fourth point (d) above, is against the decision taken in the
meeting held on 07/01/2026 headed by Honourable Prime Minister of India and
conveyed by NITI Ayog vide letter dated 29/01/2026. Copy<<<>>
Honourable PMO office vide point 10 has directed to take steps
repatriate all persons on deputation from other departments with BSNL in time
bound manner i.e by 31/10/2026 and responsibility is given to DoT.
But this committee constituted by DoT is directed to submit recommendation
of ITS officers on deputation from DoT to BSNL and to recommend to measure and
reward the performance of ITS officers on deputation in BSNL.
It means either decision taken in meeting headed by Honourable PMO
has no meaning or some officers dares to give open challenge to decision taken
by PMO for stopping deputation of officers from DoT to BSNL.
SNEA will be taking up matter suitably either for correctness of directions
issued by PMO office or to correct the terms of reference of this high level Committee
constituted by DoT for HR Management of BSNL for clarity on the subject and to
have proper HR management of own Officers of BSNL.

As per order issued by
DGM Pers BSNL CO, the works of Land Monetization which were earlier with
Director HR BSNL Board will be henceforth looked after by Director Finance BSNL
Board and accordingly for these land Monetization related works Shri
Parmeshwari Dayal, CGM BW BSNL CO will report to Director Finance. Copy<<<>>
Dr.
Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR was overloaded with multiple charges other than
Director HR BSNL viz. Director HR MTNL, ITPC and related activities and these
works of Land Monetization for which every Monday dash board meeting is
arranged in DoT under keen monitoring of Respected MOC and due to these
multiple charges his original role and responsibility of HR issues of BSNL
Executives was last priority for him.
With this order, the workload
of Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR will be reduced to some extent and
he will be able to keep some focused approach on HR issues of BSNL Executives,
which was missing for last many months. Let us hope for resolution of
certain HR issues in this changed scenario.

Felicitation
of Shri Rajeev Soni, CGM EW BSNL CO: A high
level delegation of SNEA felicitated and congratulated Shri. Rajeev Soni CGM
EW BSNL CO on successful completion of prolonged 37 years of services in
DoT and BSNL and his superannuation retirement on 31/03/2026.
Shri.
Rajeev Soni, CGM deserves highest appreciation and such a special Felicitation due
to his lifelong devoted and dedicated services for DoT/ BSNL and its workforce.
BSNL family as whole and specially
we SNEA recognize his great support to BSNL Executives in the most difficult
time of BSNL. He was given responsibility of CGM EW BSNL CO in an extremely
difficult situation of BSNL, and with change in managerial position instead of
improvement, the situation downgraded day by day. But he sustained all pressure
and made all out efforts for the support of Executives in the Electrical wing
in particular and executives and employees of other wings in general.
We have witnessed his special
support to each and every Executive in Electrical wing and it is highly
appreciable that he was knowing majority of Executives in Electrical wing by
name and with their problems & difficulties and this makes him different
and special from all other officers at such level.
His positive, balanced
and till commendable role as Chairman of the Wage Negotiation Committee will be
always remembered and will be surely written in golden letters in history of
BSNL as he has completed the herculean task of signing Wage Negotiation
Agreement.
We have seen his proactive
working for executives of Electrical wing and his passion for Promotions of
JTOs in Electrical wing and passion for Third PRC implementation.
Very shortly, the JTOs in
Electrical wing will get their overdue first SDE promotion after 27 years and
this is possible just because of very positive and firm steps taken by Shri
Rajeev Soni as CGM EW BSNL CO.
Executives in Electrical
wing have seen him as Oasis in dessert and they will surely miss their leader
at top. It was really toughest time for Executives in Electrical wing but he made
it bearable to many executives in Electrical wing and we really mean it.
His contribution in the field off Energy Conservation, Operation Samudra Manthan and in implementing Oorja Portal & automation of pan India energy payment system to
DISCOM during his tenure was superb. BSNL has saved revenue around Rs. 1000 Crore through
savings of energy cost during his tenure periods as CGM EW which is itself an
outstanding & remarkable achievement.
On this great occasion of
superannuation Retirement after highly successful, long and spotless services, SNEA congratulated
and felicitated him for his excellent, dedicated and devoted services in DoT as
well as BSNL and for support extended to BSNL workforce.
On behalf of thousands of
members of SNEA all over India in general and the Electrical wing in
particular, we wish Shri Rajeev Soni, CGM EW BSNL CO, a very Happy, Healthy, Wealthy and Prosperous
long retired life.
Update
on Meeting AUAB CHQ: An
important meeting of the available General Secretaries of AUAB was held on 08/04/2026
to discuss the current scenario regarding the IDA payment, which has been due
since January 2026. After threadbare discussions, it was decided that AUAB will
organise a countrywide demonstration programme on 20/04/2026 demanding the
release of the IDA arrears along with salary of April 2026.
Accordingly,
a memorandum on the subject has been sent to the Secretary DoT, CMD BSNL and Secretary
DPE to convey our strong resentment over the undue delay in releasing the IDA
arrears. The further course of the agitational programme will be finalised in
the next AUAB meeting, likely to be held on the evening of 20/04/2026.
Further,
as per the decision taken in the last AUAB meeting, two separate memoranda on
the issues viz. Posting of Regular CMD BSNL and settlement of the Chennai/Tamil Nadu issues
have also been submitted to the Management/ Government of India to draw their
urgent attention and further course of action on these issues will also be
discussed in the next AUAB meeting.
SNEA pays
rich tributes to Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Ji on his Jayanti. A visionary social
reformer, educationist & champion of equality, Mahatma Phule dedicated his
life to social justice, upliftment of marginalized & empowerment of women.
His timeless teachings continue to inspire generations.
