BSNL CO issued the order for cancellation of motivational training for LICE JTO trainees.
The matter was strongly putup by AIGETOA CHQ Team before management and it is understood that the request of AIGETOA has been considered by management.
BSNL CO has conveyed to CGM Training Centre that it is decided not to conduct Karmayogi training for JTO trainees as of now.
The matter was strongly putup by AIGETOA CHQ Team before management and it is understood that the request of AIGETOA has been considered by management. The letter in this regard is expected today evening or maximum by tomorrow. We advise all the trainees to concentrate on their exams and not to panic on account of this. We are following up on the issue.
Letter being issued.
All India Chairman AIGETOA and AGS Shri Sunil Gautam on behalf of AIGETOA took up the issue of relieving the LICE JTOs for field training on 3rd February 2023 with Training Cell of BSNL CO and Director HR. We have raised the issue with Director HR and GM Recruitment/Training and have categorically informed about the complexities arising out of this untimely order.
Candidates at different training centers have come from far away places including the pre basic candidates who have come from all Circles to ALTTC Ghaziabad. All the candidates have made their return travel arrangements as per the earlier schedule in which phase 1 training was supposed to end on 03.02.2023.
Now at this last moment of time this kind of intimation has resulted in panic amongst the candidates as it will not only result in financial loss to candidates in case they have to cancel their Flight/Train tickets but also it is unrealistic that they will get confirm tickets to travel for 08.02.2023 in such a short duration. Also this training will result in delaying the appointment date in JTO cadre , and completing the training mid week will simply mean that candidates of different Circles will join in their respective Circles on different dates, as joining on 08.02.2023 for field training in not practically possible for most of the candidates if this motivational training ends on 07.02.2023.
And the whole exercise done by management to start the training on same date to complete it on same date will not happen if candidates are not able to join for field training.
So we have requested to get the training rescheduled for later and preferably in respective Circles for all candidates.
AIGETOA has also submitted one representation in this regard.
The matter is beings discussed in recruitment cell BSNL CO and we hope for a positive consideration of the request by AIGETOA.
We request all the trainees to concentrate on their training. AIGETOA remains committed to protect the interests of all the trainees and will take all further efforts for the resolution of the same.
Children. Just reminiscence of this word brings to our minds the vivid picture of super-active, playful nature of the most beautiful gifts in this creation. But Alas ! There are unlucky few who are deprived of this basic capability of doing normal activities on their own.
Debosmita Ghosh, 12-year-old girl, is one such child who is wheel chair bound and does not have the ability to move her arms and legs due to a rare neuromuscular disease classified as Spinal muscular atrophy (SPA). In this disease, nerves of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord degenerate leading to gross hypotonia and muscle wasting. This weakness in the muscles throughout the body arises various complications such as knee knocking, bending of spine, osteoporosis to name a few. Some of the problems have been overcome by undergoing scoliosis correction surgery for her spine, zoledronate infusion for maintaining bone density, Bipap support for regular sleep etc. Despite all the efforts, she is having 80% locomotor disability. Naturally, she is fully dependent on all activities of daily living including eating, dressing and basic hygiene.
Despite all this crippling circumstances, she is brilliant in her academics. She is class topper and won accolades in many Olympiad exams and abacus competitions. Also, she is a talented singer, good in elocution, story-telling and creative writing. She dreams to become a teacher or an astronomer.
Currently, her condition has been progressively deteriorating. Only proper medical intervention has the ability to not only delay the disease progression but at times, effect mild improvements.
Only drug that can stop progression of her disease and help regaining milestone is Risdipalm. She is receiving this drug from last two years under a compassionate use program by the drug manufacturing company. Being on treatment has helped her to have few improvements in motor activities. However, this program of Risdipalm will end by 2023. Stoppage of this drug may deteriorate her condition and push her health and life to uncertainty. Presently, she is under Dr Sanjukta De of Peerless Hospital, Kolkata.
Risdipalm is a DCGI approved only drug commercially available India. But, the drug, costing Rs 72 Lacs per year, is exorbitantly high and beyond the affordability of her parents Mr. Debashish Ghosh, an AIGETOA member with Kolkata TD and Mrs. Moumita Ghosh, an optometrist.
In order to support her for at least 15 years, we are compelled to raise at least Rs. 10 Cr through crowd funding platform impactguru.com. It may be noted that the donor will be eligible to receive tax benefit for 100% of the contributed amount under section 80G of Income Tax Act of India.
We are hoping with in this period, Government of India will come up with some solution to continue treatment support to our only child. We are continuing to appeal to Government of India as well. Therefore, we appeal to all to help in this enormous task by making contribution as per own convenience such that our child has fair opportunity to realize her dreams.

We once again shared our apprehensions with regard to MSRR proposal by BSNL Board and requested for intervention of DoT in settling the things in right perspective and in the best interest of all.
With CMD and all other directors also, we have conveyed our apprehensions with respect to MSRR and informed him that forceful implementation without taking care of the genuine aspirations and apprehensions of executives will neither be in the interest of BSNL nor executives.
Friends, We have held a series of meetings with all the Directors of BSNL Board and CMD BSNL where in we have shared that current proposal is restricting the career growth of all the executives and every one is in a state of unrest, demotivation and confusion because of the uncertainty associated with the career prospects of all. We had a discussion with respect to stagnation criteria also.
CMD BSNL has assured that there is nothing to remain apprehensive about and drawbacks, if any shall also be looked into in next course of time. He told us to come back for discussion after few days, stating that he remains open for all discussions and is willing to extend consideration of the genuine submissions. Reversal issue, issue of promotions of Left Out JTOs, issue of PWD promotions, introduction of stagnation criteria in SDE to AGM promotions, creation of additional posts for Fast Track Policy etc. are some of the major points on which we need immediate resolution.
AIGETOA Team is on job and shortly we shall be taking the next call. Despite of assurances, now it remains for us to decide on the way forward.
We have to decide our next course, by considering the all aspects and in the best interest of the executives spread across various cadres and streams.
