particular Circle. Copy

Publication of
updated Circle wise JTO Strength was demand raised by SNEA in formal Agenda
Meeting held on 11/01/2024. We have categorically pointed out issues created by
some Circles on basis of old working strength wherein rule 8 Request of many
JTOs were not given consideration by both working and requested Circles.
We have pointed
out that some circles are calculating vacancies in that particular Circle by
adding strength of SDEs and vacancies were shown only if JTO Plus SDEs are less
than the combined sanctioned strength.
This issue has
been cleared now and vacancies are calculated only on basis of working of JTOs
in that particular Circle and the category of just sufficient circle has been
removed.
Earlier Circles
were categorized in three different Categories viz. Surplus, Just Sufficient
and Deficit Circles and now there are only two categories of Circles i. e. Just
Sufficient and Deficit Circles.
The Circles having 100 % or more
working JTOs as compared to Sanctioned Strength are categorized as Surplus
Circle. The Circles having less than 100 % working JTOs as compared to
Sanctioned Strength are categorized as Deficit Circle.
Now, concerned
Circles are directed to consider the Rule 8 Request transfers from and to the
Circles by giving consideration to the revised Working Strength and as per
prevailing guidelines on the subject.
This is one of
the issues related to JTO Rule 8 transfers and other issues viz. posting
substitutes and consideration of Rule 8 requests towards the Surplus Circles, processing Rule 8
Transfers in Online Mode are already taken up and are under consideration of
the Management.
We are hopeful
for early consideration of Rule 8 transfers of all JTOs who have completed five
years of eligibility service for Rule 8 transfers.

SNEA
engages in Productive Dialogue with BSNL Management through a Landmark Formal
Agenda Meeting: In a
significant step towards addressing the concerns of BSNL executives, the
Majority Recognized Representative Association, SNEA CHQ, organized a
meticulously planned Formal Agenda Meeting with Director HR BSNL Board on 11/01/2024. Agenda

But by quoting shortage of time, SR Cell has requested
for limiting agenda for 25 important and urgent points. Letter <<<>>
Thus, originally
slated to cover a wide array of topics, the agenda was eventually streamlined

this limitation, SNEA presented a comprehensive agenda that encapsulated the
most pressing matters facing BSNL executives and and these points were discussed in
Jumbo meeting held on 11/01/2024 at esteemed 9th Floor Conference

SNEA conveys sincere thanks and gratitude to Dr

Pers BSNL CO, Shri. S. P. Singh PGM Estt BSNL CO, Smt. Samita Luthra,
GM Rectt BSNL CO, Smt. Asha Bavlia DGM SR BSNL CO, Dr. Vipul
Shrivastav, AGM SR BSNL CO, Shri. Santosh Kumar DM SR Cell, all DGMs
and AGMs from other vertical heads for very fruitful and elaborate discussions
with nice arrangements during this first Formal Agenda meeting of SNEA as
recognised Majority Representative Association.
We also convey special thanks to the esteemed
Circle Secretaries and Circle Office Bearers of SNEA from different
Circles who spared their valuable time while being at Delhi for attending
CWC Meeting and have witnessed the discussions by their valuable presence in
this agenda meeting.
Now, as only SNEA as recognized
majority association is eligible for getting formal agenda meeting with written
minute, now DGM SR BSNL CO has released the Minutes of this Formal Agenda
Meeting wherein the detailed of discussions are recorded on many points. Minutes <<<>>
These
subsequent release of administrative minutes by AGM SR BSNL CO and this may be
first such detailed minutes issued by SR Cell as it has given certain detailed
coverage to discussions held. But the missing information on some of the
burning issues of BSNL Executives, has inadvertently led to confusion among
executives. While the minutes captured the essence of the discussions, some
points lacked clarity, and discrepancies are noted in certain responses
attributed to management officials.
As these are the administrative
minutes, on certain points there is no clarity as per discussions and we find
that on some of the issues the final replies are not as per the discussions held
in the meeting and final assurances by concerned vertical head or team members
or by the Director HR as competent authority of this formal agenda meeting.
Thus, due non-covering actual
discussions and assurances in the formal meeting, these partial minutes have
created confusion among some of the executives that in the meeting with
Director HR BSNL Board there was no serious discussions on their points.
Some of the known Executives are spreading misleading news about the
discussions held in the meeting and hence some of SNEA Members and OBs
including leaders of Five Star Third MV alliance are under confusion on outcome
of this meeting to their satisfaction.
By now SNEA CHQ has received many
such call expressing serious concern on it and have asked for publishing what
was discussions held in the meeting as attributed from official minutes and
demanded for publishing minutes noted by SNEA.
SNEA has rightly projected all issues
with supporting documents but while publishing minutes, either minutes are
drafted by the officers in concern vertical by producing their red tap typical
government working or SR cell has missed the noting the discussions in right
directions and some of issues are reported wrongly.
Classic Example of such wrong
reporting in these formal minutes may be seen from the minutes noted about our demand on
writing reminder to DoT for implementation of Third PRC.
It is demand from SNEA just to write a
reminder letter to DoT for implementation of Third PRC and entire discussions
held on this point only. SNEA leaders have not asked anything from the Director
HR other than issuing reminder letter to DoT for Third PRC implementation and in
very positive response Director HR directed to PGM Estt and his Establishment team
to brief him on this issue with facts given by SNEA and assured to look into
demand on writing reminder as it is genuine demand affecting entire workforce
of BSNL.
But you may find that in formal
minutes issued by SR Cell under response it is written that BSNL board has
recommended the implementation of revision of pay under Third PRC w.e.f.
01/01/2017 in respect of Board level & below board level executives with
15% fitment formula and sent a proposal on 14/11/2017 to DoT i.e.
Administrative ministry of BSNL for approval and issue of presidential
Directives. However, so far, the proposal has not been approved by DoT.
This makes it crystal clear how these
minutes are issued in casual approach on certain points.
Furthermore,
SNEA has promptly raised concerns regarding the issuance of non-factual minutes
on certain points with the BSNL management. Efforts are underway to rectify
these discrepancies and ensure that the true spirit of the discussions is
accurately reflected.
Thus, to clear confusion created on
different issues and mainly as per the demand raised by some of SNEA Leaders
and active members, we are publishing the minutes noted by SNEA OBs present in
the said Agenda Meeting and these details will give clear idea to the SNEA
members and members of Five star alliance partner associations. COPY <<<>>
By
publishing detailed minutes recorded by SNEA OBs present at the Agenda Meeting,
transparency and accuracy, we are ensuring and dispelling any misconceptions
among members.
To address
all left out issues, SNEA has submitted a fresh letter to Director HR,
requesting additional time to discuss the outstanding agenda points. COPY <<<>>
This
proactive approach underscores unwavering commitment by SNEA to advocating for
the welfare of BSNL executives.
Amidst
these developments, SNEA reaffirms its dedication to representing the interests
of BSNL executives. Despite attempts to sow confusion, SNEA remains steadfast
in its pursuit of resolution for long-standing HR issues, ensuring that every
concern is addressed with diligence and transparency.
AGM Pers BSNL CO
writes to all Circle/Unit Heads with proposal for Inter Circle Transfers of 354
AGMs and 336 SDEs having total stay more than 22 years in territory of Telecom Circle
and age less than
56 years as on 31/03/2024. Copy SDE <<<>> Copy AGM <<<>>
These SDEs/AGMs will have
to give three options under special Long stay Inter Circle OTP window which is opened
w.e.f. 02/03/2024 and will be open till 07/03/2024.
There are three
categories of Circles depending on working strength of Executives as compared
to Sanctioned Strength. The Circles having working Executive Strength 10% more
than the sanctioned strength is marked as Surplus Circles, the Circles having
working Executive Strength 10% less/ more than the sanctioned strength are marked
as just Sufficient Circles and the Circles having working Executives Strength 10%
less than the as per Sanctioned Strength are marked as Deficit Circles.
For options by AGMs,
only OA/INSP and ITPC Circle are the surplus Circles and vacancies are
available in all other Circles/Units including BSNL CO and hence AGMs are free
to opt for any of the Circle of his/her choice.
For options by SDEs, 13
Circles viz. AP, BBNW, BH, CNTX-N, CNTX-S, ITPC, JKD, MP, QA/Insp, RAJ,
TLGN, UP East and UP West Circles are surplus Circles and hence SDEs will have to opt remaining Circles. The
surplus Circles are not shown in drop down menu of the long stay OTP window.
Options are to be
given only by the SDEs/AGMs in this long stay list published and request form
other executives in this special window will
not be entertained by Pers Section.
Letter further states
that if options are not received from long stayed SDEs/AGMs through OTP, then
he/she will be posted to Circles having administrative requirement and request
for changes at later stage will not be entertained.
If any SDE/AGM in this
inter Circle Long stay list ,is not able to apply through OTP for any reason
including his pending OTP request, then he/she has to send
representation/application through e-file/E-receipt latest by 07/03/2024 with
clearly mentioning the reason for not submitting the options through OTP.
The SDEs/AGMs in this
long stay who are covered under Immunity as OB of Recognized Association, or
medical alignment as per Medical policy, have to represent their grievances
along with supporting documents and its entry needs to be done in ERP. Such
applications along with copy of screenshot of ERP entry about relevant entries
in ERP are to be sent GM HR of Circle through E file/receipt.
GM HR of circles have
to forward all applications/ representations received in OTP/e-file with
approval of Circle Heads to PGM Pers BSNL CO.
It is assured in this letter that efforts will be made to post these SDEs/AGMs to
one of the Circles of his/her choice, subject to administrative connivence. It
is not that everyone will get first options
and chances of posting to any of three options are equal and changes at later
stage are difficult.
Hence these SDEs/AGMs should opt to Circles where he/she can join if
transfer order is issued and should not be under wrong impression that first option
only will be given consideration and other options are just given for name sake
or compulsions to give three options.
Errors/Omissions in the list are to be intimated to Pers Cell BSNL CO
latest by 12/03/2024.
As usual, there are many issues in this proposal of Inter Circle Long
stay Transfers of SDEs/AGMs and only positive action taken by the Pers section
is that this time surplus Circles are announced and now options of these
executives will not be wasted.
The data of stay of
Executives at All India Soft Tenure stations seems to be updated in AGM long
stay list, but same is not updated in SDE long stay list and names of some of
SDEs who have served or serving at All India Soft tenure stations are appearing
in this list. All such SDEs having grievances
about counting their stay at All India Hard/Soft tenure stations should take up
matter to update these their stay particular with BA Heads and send representation
along with screen shot of updated ERP entry of stay at Tenure station and send
it through E file/receipt to GM HR of Circle and who in turn will send details
to PGM Pers BSNL CO.
Though it is not
mentioned in this letter, as considered in earlier long stay transfer orders, the
executives having ward studying in 12th Standard and appearing to
Board Examination in Year 2025 will be eligible for immunity from long stay
transfer till completion of Board Examination of ward and one has to send his/her
representation along supporting documents from the School viz. Bonafide
certificate through E file/receipt to GM HR of Circle, who in turn will send
details to PGM Pers BSNL CO in given time i.e. 12/03/2024.
This long stay is data
is extracted from ERP and there may be corrections in it due to human ability
to extract correct data from system and may be as the career history is not
properly updated.
All Executives are
requested to check his/ her career history and get it corrected by taking it up
with BA Heads. Copy
<<<>>
Specifically SDEs/AGMs
appearing in this list have to act on it seriously and send representation with copy of updated/ corrected
Career History to avoid any unwanted/ avoidable long stay transfers.
Last year the all India Tenure transfer policy is modified and one has who are serving
at these stations have to take care of these modifications to avoid any issues
at later stage.
For executives who have already served at all India Tenure stations the old polies will be applicable. Copy <<<>>
All those who served at all India hard
stations for two years period and Executives who served all India Soft Tenure
stations till 09/12/2015 are eligible for break in length of stay in Circle and
who served All India Soft Tenure stations after 09/12/2015 will get three year
reduction in their total stay in the Circle in case of posting from same
Circle. Copy
<<<>>
If name of executives who have completed tenure as above and till his/her
name appears in this long stay list , then he has to get ERP data updated and represent
through e fie/e receipt as per given procedure and in given time.
The entry of medical cases of critical illness, immunity as OB of
Association eligible for grant of immunity etc is to be made in ERP so that
their names will be excluded from proposed long stay transfers. Policy <<<>> ERP Entry <<<>>
All these transfers will be issued at Company cost and all executives transferred
under long stay will be paid TA/DA as
applicable and if applied in ERP/ESS within given time of 60 days.
The mass transfers issued in last year have already affected the working
of many BAs and these Intra and Inter
Circle Transfers all over India will definitely affect the working of
BSNL. SNEA CHQ is aware about the sentiments and hardship of Executives in BSNL
on such unwanted Rotational Transfers and we have pursued with Management and
elaborated the issues to Management and requested not to go for rotational or
mass transfers, but it is not reaching to right ears responsible to listen the
grievances and executives are practically harassed by issuing avoidable transfers.
We have tried to clear all the issues related to long stay, but till
there are any queries and doubts, individuals may directedly contact to concerned officers in Pers section BSNL CO. AGMs
should contact to Shri. Nereus Barwa AGM Pers I BSNL CO and SDEs may
contact to Mrs, Vandana Sahani, AGM Pers II BSNL CO and queries not satisfactorily
responded or unattended may be got clarified from Shri. O. N. Tiwary, Jt GM Pers BSNL CO as these are officers
who are having deep knowledge of the policies of long stay transfers and can guide
affected executives in better way. The interpretation and understanding of
policies related to transfer posting by these officers are given due importance
by officers in BSNL Management while considering grievances related to transfers
.
In case, the grievances of any
executive affected due to long stay transfer are not attended by the concerned
officers dealing with transfers at BA/Circle in that case individuals may
contact to DS/CS SNEA concerned.
For similar issues at BSNL Corporate office, affected Executives may
contact to Shri. Manish Samadhiya, President SNEA CHQ, {Mobile: 9425003669
Email: PresidentSNEA2022@gmail.com} who will consolidating all such
requests and will be pursuing it further for resolutions at BSNL CO.
AGM Pers BSNL CO issued allotment of
circles to MTs for On Job Training (OJT) and final posting on completion of OJT
for three months period. Copy <<<>>
There was much dilemma on posting of
MTs starting from posting all of them as OA Heads, not posting in same circle,
posting to non-recruiting Circles, giving three options of three OA/BAs in same
Circle or three OAs/BAs of different Circles and so on.
As per feedback from MTs, SNEA and SEWA
leadership had taken all these issues with PGM Pers Director HR and CMD BSNL and
finally with consideration to all such issues and requests/options by all
individuals till last minute, about all these MTs are posted to one of the
three options they have submitted.
Now they are posted to Circles for On
Job Training of three Months and their Final posting of MTs will be continued
at the same place of posting. Further posting of these MTs will be decided by
the Circle heads on joining of the MTs in these allotted Circles.
As per pursuation of SNEA with BSNL management,
these MTs will not be posted as OA Heads by replacing the serving AGM/DGM level
officers and may be posted as OA Heads at OAs were post are vacant and not
occupied by AGM/DGM level officers and Circle Heads have to decide on utilization
of services of MTs at places other than OA Heads like EB, 4G Saturation
Project, FTTH, Transmission, Sale and Mktg etc units.
CS SNEA concerned are requested to
look into further posting to OAs/BAs accordingly and taken care of grievances by
Circle/BA administration if any.
Mass Unrest due to Publication of RRs for External Recruitment
of Executives with Lateral entry in BSNL: The recent publication of
new Recruitment Rules (RRs) by the DGM DPC BSNL CO for External Recruitment in
BSNL with lateral entries as SET(SDE) and DGM positions has sparked huge unrest
among the serving Executives in BSNL.
It is
indeed unfortunate that BSNL Management has chosen to overlook the available
in-house talent, thereby jeopardizing their career progression by placing it in
the hands of various courts and litigations. This decision to introduce External
Recruitment at different levels within the Telecom and Finance wings has drawn
serious criticism from many executives.
On publication of these RRs, many
executives have expressed their serious feeling and unrest about the attitude of
BSNL management to defame and degrade working executives who are toiling hard
to bail out the company out of the crisis.
Since long BSNL has been recruiting
Graduate Engineers and recently it has been further modified and the JTOs presently
working in BSNL are having minimum GATE qualification & many of them
possess ME/MTech /MBA/LLB and higher degrees also as additional educational qualification.
The presently working JAOs are having CA/ICWA or higher professional qualifications.
In BSNL, the executives at JTOs/JAOs
and SDEs/AOs cover about 70% of the total strength of working executives. These Executives
are deeply concerned about the management's approach, which seemingly
undermines the qualifications and capabilities of the current workforce. This
is a matter of concern for all the serving executives and SNEA is duty bound to
raise all such issues and to get justice for executives in BSNL.
Ever since formation of BSNL, the
Management of BSNL was always seen under confusion and neither
fully embracing PSU regulations nor adhering to government guidelines and works
on selective mode to frame policies adversely affecting the BSNL absorbed/ recruited
executives and see that they are always kept under tension and pressure.
One side the posts available for the
Internal candidates are reduced drastically in the name of Restructuring Norms keeping
the working executives more than the sanctioned posts and thereby putting
direct lock on promotions of executives and on the other side such External recruitment
is being proposed with false projection that BSNL is lacking internal talent
and hence External talent is required in BSNL.
It should be understood by all
including Management that there is shortage of officers in BSNL Management at
GM, PGM and CGM levels and same is understood by management also. But
projecting same recruitment is proposed at lower level lateral entry which is
of no use as seen during last 23 years of BSNL formation.
It is fact that majority, rather all the
posts at these positions of GM/PGM/CGM level are filled from the officers on
Deputation and this is continued for 23 years, but even single time nothing is
proposed for filling the vacant post by bringing External talent at this level in
BSNL.
Despite of
this acute shortage for continued 23 years, there has been no single attempt or
effort on part of BSNL Management to recruit External talent to fill these
responsible vacant posts. Instead, there is a concerted effort to add outsiders
at lower levels, with false projections as they are the future candidates for the
higher management of BSNL.
Over the period BSNL has recruited
some DGMs under External quota and recently MTs are recruited under Internal quota
through a rigorous selection process but their services are not used properly
or there seems to be no action plan to use their specific services as was
projected for their special requirement with lateral entry.
But under systematic game plan, the
RRs modified so that these officers will never reach to the position of GM and
above and only officers on deputation will continue to be at these posts. Even
ITS officers who are absorbed in BSNL are not given respectable positions and some
of them are feeling humiliated just because they duly respected the absorption
process and have opted for BSNL.
SNEA has nothing against the cadre of
ITS officers and we find excellent officers from ITS cadre who have contributed
for betterment of the BSNL and its executives over the period and hence we have
always high regards for such great officers. But such unfortunate actions and decisions
affecting career of BSNL absorbed /recruited executives makes these affected executives
in BSNL to think on such biased approach in framing different polices.
It is unfortunate that, where
promotions are possible at DGM and below level as per the existing MSRRs, the attempts
are visible that the matter is dragged to court and promotion process are
stayed through the court cases, and in last seven years no serious attempts are
made to clear the court case on DGM Telecom Regular Promotions. In this case
stay was granted only for particular hearing date and it was never extended by
the court, but it was projected that there is continued stay and matter is
undecided for seven years.
In many cases, the officers in BSNL
Management blame that the executives and its associations are responsible for litigations
and management is ready to go ahead with promotions. But these officers are deliberately
hiding the fact that the concerns raised by the executives in approaching
courts are duly accepted by the court and each and every case BSNL could not
maintain its stand and has to go in appeal at higher court as the decision is often
against BSNL. Till today, in no case of such promotions, the responsibility is
fixed for any wrong doing on part of concerned officers involved in such a promotion
process questioned by the Courts.
Whatever may be reason, but the
officers dealing with promotion processes keep such lacunas in the Promotion
process that matter is dragged to courts and in about all cases, the plea of
the applicant is accepted and the Management is not in position to maintain its
stand in court. It may be seen from the outcome of many of the court cases but this
blame game is of no use and one has to think on how to overcome this.
One side, BSNL is recruiting GATE/CA
qualified executives and some of them are practically allotted clerical works
and granted lowest pay scale E1 which is lowest in any PSU against all the
legal orders of DoPT and have been force demoralized for no mistake on their
part and on the other side it is projected that there is a need of more and
fresh talent in BSNL.
The acute
shortage of executives is at GM and above levels and same is acknowledged as after 2027,
there will be merely few ITS officers from DoT who will be available for deputation
to BSNL at GM and above level and in no way, it means that direct executives
are required at level of SDE through SET RRs as being proposed now.
It is
regrettable that certain BSNL officers, in their pursuit of self-interest, are
pushing for anti-executive RRs under the guise of following management
directives. This attitude demoralizes the excellent internal talent available
within BSNL, leading many to lose hope of promotions.
Though, SNEA as Majority association
is putting some positive energy among the BSNL executives by sincerely pursuing
for the promotions of all wings and cadres by overcoming the manmade hurdles,
such one-sided RRs for lateral entry, again unearths mass unrest and negativity
among the executives in BSNL.
Since VRS 2019 there is ban on any recruitment
in BSNL, but RRs are being published as if the recruitment is about to start. These
RRs have misused by individuals and some agencies who have become hyperactive and
by quoting these RRs have started spreading fake messages and collecting lakhs
of rupees from Market in the name of guidance, coaching assured posting in BSNL
when posting in BSNL is banned since VRS 2019.
SNEA has always opposed the Direct/ External
Recruitment with lateral entry that hinder the career progression
of BSNL executives and on the issue of these RRs for direct recruitment of Executives
with lateral entry, SNEA has raised strong protest with Director HR BSNL Board in
the meeting on 26/02/2024 for not discussing such serious issues with the Recognized
Majority Association and taking arbitrary decision creating unrest among
executives.
On one hand, it is projected by the management
that there are excess officers in BSNL and hence second VRS is required in BSNL
and on the other hand same management makes such proposals for External recruitments
in BSNL as if nothing is possible with the working executives of BSNL.
SNEA will expose this false
propaganda by certain officers in Management that directly recruited or
promoted JTOs/ JAOs are useless and obsolete for management positions and will
oppose the approach of forcing the working executives to opt for VR/VRS and attempt
to recruit officers of the same level through lateral entry.
These officers in Management have conveniently
forgotten the sacrifices by the BSNL executives over the period. It is the
devotion and dedication of these serving executives that even after mass VRS
reducing working strength by 60%, even during and after Corona pandemic, even
with totally failed contract working in BSNL and even when the entire Telecom
sector is in loss, these executives in BSNL have maintained dignity and glory
of the BSNL.
Practically, new blood is required at
GM and above level to run the company in a professional manner but entry at this
level is not allowed for outsiders or even insiders and since last 23 years
only officers on deputation are occupying these posts. No direct
recruitment is proposed at these levels as it is a matter of promotions of the
group officers working for framing rules.
Even ITS officers who are absorbed in
BSNL are not given due respect and are compelled to work on half the salary than
what the ITS officers on deputation are getting for the same work and this happens
for years together.
It is unfortunate that even after 24
years of formation of BSNL, even a BSNL absorbed ITS Officer is not posted as
GM/PGM Pers who is at the helm of designing different policies for the
executives in BSNL.
If about 1000 to 1500 vacant posts that
to be at GM/PGM/CGM level are managed by deputation for last 23 years and no
action is taken for its permanent arrangement, then what is need to allow lateral entry at
level of SDE wherein about 10000 eligible JTOs are waiting for their promotions
as SDE and what is need at level of DGM when more than 1400 Eligible AGMs are
waiting for DGM Promotions is real query to be satisfactorily clarified by these
officers in BSNL Management.
In DoT, the JTOs are recruited at E3
scale and in a ridiculous decision the same DoT has refused even E2 pay scale
to BSNL JTOs and reduced pay scale of JTOs in BSNL from E1A to E1 sales against
continued proposal by BSNL Management to upgrade it to E2 as per DoPT
Guidelines.
It is greatness of these affected executives
that even with all such odds, till majority of them serve BSNL with full
devotion and dedication with hopes for some changes in approach of BSNL management.
BSNL is not in position to justify
any decision as followed in PSUs nor following guidelines of DoT and selfish
decisions are being taken for supporting a particular group of officers.
Already there are different level of
officer recruited in BSNL i.e. MTs, DGMs, Absorbed, deputation and everyone is
working for his/her career progression by creating Pressure group/s and this
attempt to recruit the officers directly at different level will create further
pressure groups in BSNL and there will not be any synergy as Executive or
Officer fraternity of BSNL which is directly affecting growth of BSNL.
Though, it was projected that MTs
will be part of BSNL management and for reason now also they are not given home
Circle posting as they will be part of Management, but practically due to modifications
in RRs, they are posted at level of Sr SDE and no chance of reaching at level
of PGMs/CGMs as being false projected.
In the Telecom wing itself about
10000 eligible JTOs are waiting for their promotions as SDE and there are
merely 600 vacancies and hence no chance for promotion of last eligible JTO in
next ten years and other side management is putting salt by introducing the RRs
for direct recruitment at SDE level. Same is the position of JAOs and the position
of JTOs in Electrical, Civil and Arch/TF wings is the worst as even after
completion of 25 years of service many of them are working as JTO without any
single promotion.
Same is case with DGM level officers
Promotions, when thousands of AGMs eligible for DGM Promotions are waiting for
their DGM Promotions, but BSNL Management is unable to resolve the court case
file before eight years and junior level officers from DoT are posted as DGM
Regular on BSNL posts that to Salary double than the officers in BSNL.
It seems that certain officers in Management
have taken the BSNL absorbed /recruited officers as granted and are under assumptions
that whatever right or wrong, bad or good decided by the amendment will be
accepted by the executives as if they have no option. It is time to prove that Management
is wrong here, the executives in BSNL will not tolerate all such decisions anymore
and we will oppose such biased decisions making injustice to BSNL absorbed and
BSNL recruited officers.
After thorough analysis, we find that
there is not a lack of talent in BSNL at the executives level but we find that
there is lack of expertise at appropriate level for utilizing this
extraordinary talent available among serving executives of BSNL. This is the
bitter truth of BSNL and SNEA is working to clear all such confusions created
by certain officers definitely for their self-interest.
The BSNL officers who are given
responsibility in this policy making process, are working in only accepting the
directions of higher ups and even opportunity to get justice for self and
similarly placed executives also are not being utilized by these officers. This
approach to work against their own executive brothers/ sisters has spoiled
entire policy decisions in BSNL and every policy is being framed for injustice
to BSNL recruited/absorbed executives.
SNEA will continue its opposition to such
External/ Direct Recruitment through Lateral Entry and we will see that it
should not become a hurdle in career progression of serving Executives in BSNL. We will first discuss, these issues
with BSNL management and see that the RRs for Direct Recruitments are withdrawn/kept
on hold and at the same time decision is taken to recruit officers where actual
shortage is being faced by the Management and not at level where ample officers
are available in BSNL and waiting for their due promotions.
All such decisions were always
opposed by SNEA and this decision of External Recruitment through lateral
entries by keeping promotions of BSNL recruited/Absorbed officers on hold will also
be strongly opposed by SNEA and we will not allow anybody to play with career
progression of highly qualified serving executives in BSNL. Let us hope for
the best.
