General Secretary AIGETOA Shri Ravi Shil Verma and Dy GS Shri Pavan Akhand Met PGM (SR) and discussed the following issues:

Clarification on Immunity Guidelines with respect to the Office Bearers of the Recognized Associations:

We told PGM SR that already a lot of time has passed and many people are eagerly waiting for the clarification since long. We requested for an immediate expeditious action in this regard. PGM (SR) immediately directed the section to process the clarification.

Discussion on Restructuring Review:

The Team also had an elaborate discussion on the restructuring review wherein we once again presented our inputs on how the sanctioned strength needs to be augmented and enhanced further. We gave our inputs with respect to the calculation of strength to man the affairs of the Bharatnet Vertical, 4G Saturation, Enterprise Business, Sales & Marketing and the fact that OAs should be headed by a minimum DGM Level officer which will increase the posts of AGMs and SDEs down the line. We also highlighted that almost all executives today are handling multiple responsibilities. If BSNL really wants to extract output and efficiency in work, than roles and responsibilities shall have to be given in a rationalized manner which will not only increase the output, efficiency but will also end the unnecessary unrest and demotivation prevailing in the minds of the executives because of lack of sufficient career progression opportunities. PGM (SR) noted our inputs and assured to analyze the same in the best interest of the organization as well as executives.

Submission of Agenda Points for meeting with management:

Thereafter, AIGETOA Team also submitted the agenda points with a request for an agenda based meeting under the chairmanship of Director (HR)/CMD BSNL. The agenda meeting is likely to be held in the second/third week of January 2024.
