 Mega Promotion Order from SDE (T) to DE (Adhoc) issued : Historical achievement : CONGRATULATIONS !! Consistent and untiring efforts of AIBSNLEA yielded result in getting released the promotion order of 1679 SDEs (T) to DE (Adhoc). 1530 DEs on promotion have been given posting in the same Circles accept 149 SDEs i.e. 73 from CHTD, 52 from STR and 17 to NE-II, 7 to NE-I from some Circles due to non-availability of vacant posts of DEs. The SDEs of promoted from OC category are 1308 (up to seniority no. 15300), from SC category are 286 (up to seniority no. 16221.1) and from ST category are 85 (up to seniority no. 24491).

AIBSNLEA ensured for strict implementation of SC-ST point to point roster. 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. All the CHQ office bearers, Circle/Branch Secretaries are requested to ensure immediate sending of the ACRs / VCRs of the eligible SDEs to BSNL CO.

We are extremely thankful to the CMD, 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.

(a) Regarding viability of BSNL : CMD mentioned that this financial year in real sense BSNL is earning profit in comparison to other Telecom Service Providers. The Telecom Growth Rate affected all Telecom Operators. The wage revision and implementation of 2^nd PRC recommendations has increased BSNL�s expenditure. The propaganda being made that BSNL is facing red is not true and condemning BSNL Board will de-motivate. BSNL executives, non-executives and all officers should work as a team for its growth.

(b) Opening of ERP Centres at Pune and Hyderabad : We expressed our dissatisfaction against not providing basic infrastructure, residential accommodation etc. to the executives recently posted in ERP at ALTTC, Ghaziabad. We also requested to open ERP Centres at Pune and Hyderabad to make it convenient for South and West zone executives. CMD informed that today he had detailed meeting with ERP team. About 85 executives have joined at ERP, ALTTC Ghaziabad and the commissioning work will be completed by March 2010 itself and ERP implementation will take place in July 2010 positively which will provide immediate data / information and boost the company working. Regarding opening of new ERP Centres at Pune and Hyderabad he assured to look into.

(c) Pay anomaly case of JTO 2005 batch : We requested to take decision for removal of pay anomaly of JTO 2005 batch. CMD assured to look into the matter.

(d) Consideration of request transfers issued on completion of 2 years service as �in the interest of service� instead of at �own cost� : We expressed our serious concern against issuance of request transfers of SDEs/DEs on completion of 2 years service as �own cost� instead of �in the interest of service� ignoring BSNL Transfer Policy. CMD assured to look into the matter.

11.02.2010 : GS, President, AGS (HQ), AGS (F), CS KTD met Director (CM) and discussed regarding finalisation of 93 million GSM lines tender. Dir (CM) mentioned that matter is being examined by CVC.
