PGM, BGTD addressed the gathering and stressed on the need for good customer care.
Our DS Bangalore Mr. Chandran touched upon the recent historic struggle at Delhi. He suggested how the management may open a path for the DRs to play a larger role in the organisation. He highlighted that change was needed in the outlook of both the management and our members for the upliftment of BSNL.
We had invited the officer bearer of other associations to grace the occasion. AIBSNLEA CS, Mr. Andheli was present and re-counted the days of old and the previous struggles in the organisation and for the cadre.
CGM QA shared a technical point of concern on the maintenance of batteries in our telecom network. He emphasised that this area is to be looked after by the employees as well as the management. Further he spoke improving customer care initiatives.
CGM KTK re-emphasised the theme of our prayer song – Hum na soche, humme kya mila hai, hum ye shoche, kiya kya hai arpan. He called upon us not to give excuses of shortage in equipment such as modems etc. but to dedicate ourselves to satisfy our customers. He also cautioned that most associations focus only on transfer issues and this is not a healthy trend. He quoted from the Bhagwat Gita and advised us youngsters to dedicate ourselves.
Our CS Mr. Manjunath welcomed our GS Mr. R P Shahu onto the dias. He spoke on the potential that our cadre has and how the management is yet to fully exploit it.
Our GS Mr R P Sahu, highlighted on all the issues for which the recent struggle was called for and concluded. He emphasised that such agitations are not to our liking but there was no option left. He elucidated all the steps taken to highlight these issues over the past 3 years in an amicable way. It was only as a last resort that we were forced to take the path of agitation to make our voices heard. Our basic demands and genuine demands cannot be ignored.
Sr. GM EB addressed the gathering and spoke about the good-will that BSNL has among enterprise customers. He said that we need to strengthen Service Assurance and Service Delivery to match our competition.
GM BBNW addressed the gathering and assured us that the genuine issues would be taken care of by the management in due course. He noted that the BBNW staff are sensitised to take care of L1 infrastructure such as battery and not just upper layer devices.
