GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL seeking his intervention in directing the concerned HR units to work on the issues and ensure its readiness for resolution so that the April 2025 month becomes a historic month for BSNL and its employees and new chapter of growth and development starts for BSNL w.e.f May 2025. GS AIGETOA emphasizes that In the absence of tangible and visible progress on the HR issues by way of concrete preparatory actions by HR units to ensure the resolution of the issues, this cooperation and togetherness will definitely be affected. All HR units should seize this opportunity and should not compel the association to withdraw the cooperation and resort to organizational actions.

GS AIGETOA also requests CMD BSNL for directing all the HR units dealing with various issues to not to spoil this feeling of togetherness and belongingness from the employees. The concerned units should be asked to work on a war footing mode so that employees as well as management can truly celebrate the April 2025 Month as HR Month by way of resolution of long pending issues of Pay, Promotion and Pension.

On dated 28.01.2025, GS AIGETOA, President AIGETOA, Dy GS AIGETOA and CS ALTTC met PGM Training and Director HR and lodged our strong protest on the unilateral decision of BSNL management to change the reporting structure of ALTTC Circle. We categorically stated that this is nothing but undermining the legacy of a 50 year old institution. We demanded that management must roll back it’s decision. If they find any operational inconvenience with respect to any officer or person for that the individual is responsible and not the structure. Hence solution should not be changing the structure and instead fact finding should be done to find out the actual underlying issues. We stated that association will never agree to this proposal and if management feels that some person is more capable of handling the affairs of ALTTC, that person should be posted in ALTTC Ghaziabad instead of changing the structure. System should not be change based on individual capabilities. We said that order has been issued bypassing all the set norms and practices and can not be accepted. We also said that instead of marginalizing this 50 years old institution of repute, management must focus on reviving it and should ask more area and hostels from DoT which has been unceremoniously taken away from BSNL. We said ALTTC must coexist with the NCA and management must take all efforts to resolve this issue.

Director HR has assured to look into the issue raised by us and asked for our written submissions with regard to the objections raised. We shall be submitting the same in next 2-3 days.

The PGM Training, BSNL Corporate Office, has recently issued an order altering the reporting structure of BSNL Training Centers. This order restricts the CGM ALTTC’s jurisdiction to ALTTC Ghaziabad alone, transferring all other Zonal Training Centers to the purview of PGM BRBRAITT Jabalpur. Furthermore, PGM BRBRAITT, who previously reported to CGM ALTTC, will now directly report to the Director HR of the BSNL Board. Previously, the reporting structure of training centers was determined by the Restructuring Cell. However, this special order has been issued by the Training Cell, raising questions about its intent and impact. Despite facing immense challenges since the takeover of the ALTTC campus by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), the CGM ALTTC and BSNL officers have managed to sustain training operations, including foreign training programs, BA Head courses, Motivational training program for complete BSNL CO and CNTX-North employees etc. through local hostel arrangements over the past 18 months. Their efforts have generated substantial revenue, amounting to crores of rupees for BSNL. However, this recent order disregards these achievements, signaling a potential move towards the permanent closure of ALTTC. ALTTC Ghaziabad, BSNL’s premier training center, has provided exceptional services for 50 years.

The effective sidelining of ALTTC compromises training services across North India, where it serves as the Zonal Center, handling nearly 50% of BSNL’s overall training programs, including critical foreign training initiatives that contribute significantly to its revenue.

AIGETOA has actively engaged with CGM ALTTC, PGM Training/Recruitment, Director HR, and CMD BSNL to advocate for ALTTC’s continuation at its current location. While initial responses were positive, the latest developments indicate a sudden reversal, with BSNL management taking steps to curtail ALTTC’s operations. The decision to strip the CGM ALTTC of 90% of its responsibilities and transfer them to PGM BRBRAITT, who now reports directly to the Director HR, appears to diminish ALTTC’s role further.

It is disheartening to see actions that jeopardize BSNL’s interests and undermine ALTTC’s legacy. This is the first instance where BSNL management appears to be facilitating its own decline through such measures. AIGETOA sincerely urges BSNL management to immediately withdraw this order to protect the interests of ALTTC and BSNL as a whole. The closure of ALTTC would not only harm BSNL’s training capabilities but also signal the loss of a prestigious institution that has played a critical role in the country’s success for the past five decades.
