  • AIGETOA KTK represents on the Issues in Cluster Outsourcing

    In the recent past, AIGETOA has been in the forefront of raising various lacunae in the Cluster Outsourcing model in vogue post-VRS for copper maintenance. Our traditional landlines which were maintained by our own manpower before VRS was outsourced. Certain external agencies came forward to take up maintenance in clusters. However the terms and conditions and the bill processing saw loopholes that were being exploited by the Contractor and the Service levels experienced by our traditional customers saw a decline. This led to a slew of disconnections by our loyal customers and our landline services’ reputation is at stake.
    AIGETOA KTK was in the forefront of highlighting such issues at the field level and the BA level. Today, our Hon’ble CGM asked for our inputs. Our ACS Shri. Veeranjaneyulu M explained various aspects of this matter to CGM. Click here for a A compilation of the points discussed on Cluster Outsourcing. 
    The same is also forwarded to our CHQ to take up at the Corporate level.

    CS Shri. Chandran and ACS Shri. Sourabh met with Hon’ble CGM on 27th August. Discussions were held with him on the upcoming Circle Conference. We also apprised CGM on the amendments to the Transfer Policy. CGM mentioned that he is all for helping deserving staff but the load of outgoing staff will fall on the remaining working staff. He updated that our proposal to consider KTK Circle itself as a soft Tenure due to the acute staff shortage has been forwarded to BSNL CO from Circle Office. We thanked him for his support and discussed some individual cases.

    We are trying our best to balance our members’ needs with the operational requirements in the best interest of BSNL. We request the co-operation of all.

  • AIGETOA Madikeri body reformed

    A meeting of AIGETOA Madikeri was held on the evening of 26th August in online mode. About 10 members from Kodagu SSA participated. The meeting was convened by our outgoing DS Smt. Lata Jain. She is transferred back to Bangalore BA and it was time to hand-over her charge to the new team there. Our senior leader and CEC member from Madikeri Shri. Manjunath BG is also back in Bangalore. With this backdrop, the outgoing DS presented a report on the functioning of the District body over the past year. She mentioned the difficulties faced due to the terrain due to which all Executives are always on their toes there. In spite of this, she was able to galvanise the staff there and she was personally holding the charge of AGM(Operations) at the O/o TDM. She thanked all the Executives and Members for their love and support extended over her term of 2 years. Our CS Shri. Chandran thanked Smt. Lata for leading from the front and ensuring a thumping majority to AIGETOA Madikeri in the last MV. It may be recalled that forming a body in this SSA was unthinkable even a few years ago. Most of the staff are looking for transfer back to their hometowns and the few localites are entrenched in the senior Associations. However, some members have stood their ground including our CFS Shri. Sivakumar Boppe. Their firmness then – sowed the seeds of AIGETOA which is now in full bloom. Our CS then briefed on the issues at CHQ/Circle and SSA level. Some members expressed their concerns on the transfer policy followed at the Circle level. Our ACS HQ Shri. Sourabh explained the background and the work done by AIGETOA to get Kodagu SSA declared as a Tenure station within KTK. Rotation of staff to such stations is always a challenge for both Management and Association. CS assured that AIGETOA stands for transparency in transfers as can be seen in the OTP available for SDE level which minimizes the hops involved. Efforts are on for a similar system at the Circle level for JTO/SDE cadre. After all queries of members were satisfactorily addressed, we proceeded to reform the body. All participated with enthusiasm and the following body was elected unanimously.

    Post Name Mobile Designation
    DP Smt. Deepika Goud 9440000254 SDE Txion Madikeri
    DVP Shri. Karthik M 8778908494 JTO Gonikoppa Groups
    DS Shri. Prema Kumara K 9449090297 JTO Madikeri Groups
    ADS1 Shri. Satish Raju 8333088698 SDE Txion Kushalnagar
    DFS Miss. Vandana Kuldeep 9480380098 JTO CM

    We wish all the success to the new body to take AIGETOA Madikeri forward! We are grateful for the participation of our CHQ representatives OS(S) Shri Ajay Kumar and Spokesperson Shri. Prashant Gaurav for their boost. The meeting closed with our CP Shri Ashok Shigli assuring the support of our Circle body to the newly formed team and all members of AIGETOA Madikeri. Formal vote of thanks was proposed by the new DS Shri. Prema Kumara K.

  • CS writes to CGM with proposal to declare entire state as soft tenure

    We had a meeting in which the staff position in Karnataka Circle was discussed threadbare. We did a comparative study of our neighboring Circles and presented the data to CGM. While CGM appreciated the points that brought out the pathetic situation of KTK Circle in terms of the staffing strength of Executives, he asked us for possible solutions. We proposed that there is enough justification to declare KTK as a soft tenure state. Such policies have a precedence and we impressed upon CGM that we need to propose something similar for KTK. CGM asked us for a formal write up on this. With the technical data inputs from our ACS HQ, we were able to give a comprehensive input to Management on the issues faced by Executives due to the acute staff shortage. We will be pursuing this point with our CHQ also.
