Com.
V B Kokate, Circle Secretary, SNEA MH Circle, in his
earliest visit to Pune after taking the charge of CS MH Circle, congratulated
Joint Forum of Unions/Association Pune for their meeting with CMD and thanked Dr P K Hota, PGMT Pune for allowing the forum
to express their views with CMD. He mentioned their recent meeting with CGMT at
Ahemednagar and mentioned
that MH Circle has gained operational profit because of profit gained by Pune
SSA andit’s major contribution of 18 crore has played vital role in it. SNEA’s prime objective is growth and
development. Membership verification is important as we have to address HR
issues which are also important, he added. We are on the path of enhancement of
membership in entire MH. Com Omprakash has contributed a
lot in increasing account wing executives . He also
congratulated Com Bharat Sonawane DS Pune for
increasing the SNEA’s membership at Pune SSA by 157 members in recent. He
mentioned that we are waiting from proper clarification from BSNLCO for
executing non-tenure request transfers. CS requested PGMT Pune to resolve all
pending HR issues of Pune SSA and assure total and committed support on behalf
of them for earning revenue for our beloved BSNL. He told that PE
routers are installed at all desired location however traffic is yet to put
through as there is technical difficulty at Banglore NOC. We have requested CGMT MH Circle look into this issue. He
thanked com Bharat Sonawane, mainly for timely giving
information about un-used Tier-II eqpt, which
was later diverted and properly used. Lease line up gradation of SBI lines is
important as far as earning revenue is concerned, he told. Operational
expenditure will largely reduced after installation of NGN equipment. All Level II Tax
will soon be replaced by IP Tax. There will be convergence of network after
installation of NGN, he mentioned.We have to
concentrate on SWAS programme, he urged. He cited the
example of CSC Devgad for ideal
implementation of SWAS programme. Employees of Devgad CSC are having proper dress code and overall activities and proper
execution of SWAS programme were highly
appreciated by Hon MP of that reason.Com Sambhaji Sattarkar, SDE Devgad has taken self initiatives in successful execution of this programme at Devgadtaluka and now it has
been planned to execute it in entire Sindhudurg district. BSNL is number one in SIM sale is very very good thing , we
got return of 6000 crore back from Income Tax
department however we have to work hard to gain 3rd PRC , he
commended. ERP is satisfactorily implemented in MH Circle and it is generating
desired MIS reports for proper deployments of field materials, he mentioned. As
per resolution passed in Circle Conference Pune and appeal made thereon, our
spirited comrades of entire MH circle came forward and contributed major amount
worth Rs 21 lakhs for draught relief work. Hats
off to all of you for your helping hand, he quoted. It could have timely been
given it to the needy if it had been deducted from the monthly salary of
May’2015 however it was not possible even after approval of CGMT MH Circle
because of narrow minded approach of some of the leaders of other executive
association in MH circle. God knows what has benefitted them however it is
highly regrettable. He mentioned that most of the issues of Pune SSA have been
settled and very few if remaining will be taken on priority. He
told the support extended by Com Adasul in settlement of these issues. He mentioned the unfortunate
manhandling case of JTO/DE/DGM at Gujarat circle under CGM WTP. Some of the
officers were beaten by L&T contractors and taken their signature
forcefully when the said officers were performing their duty on NFS project. He
told that he has spoken with CS SNEA Gujrat and CS SNEA MP circles. CS MP has
registered strong protest and we are also demanding stern action against
culprits. Com Ajitkumar, DSWTP Mumbai has also
registered our protest and SNEA MH Circle is wholly behind WTP wing. Additional
Secretary DOT has also assured us to take strong action in this regard and we
are having close watch on the entire happening. Thank you very much for organising grand and highly successful circle conference at Pune.
Com. Vivek Mahawar, GM Finance Pune in his short but
meaningful speech, expressed pride to be part of SNEA MH Circle. He
specifically quoted
“What has inspired me to become association member
as whenever I met with unions/association leaders at Pune, we discussed
about development issues and I find myself as a part of BSNL.” He congratulated Dr Shri P K Hota, PGMT Pune for total turn around of Pune SSA from loss making SSA into profit making SSA and that
too profit by 18 crores in last financial
year. Leader inspires peoples. They inspired others to do
work. Last year BSNL was in loss of 7000 crore however we can see operating profit now. Employees are asset for a
company, he stated. Company is made by people but for the peoples. Adopting
positive change is important, he mentioned. Nokia, Motorola companies have
disappeared because they have not adopted proper up gradation and change which
will suit to the customer’s need. BSNL has survived because it is adopting
proper changes. Our CMD is visionary and he is trying lot of things and we have
to support him. Little efforts can do the miracle, he mentioned. He explained
the meaning of operational profit and it’s correlation with depreciation and
net profit. He cited the example of Pune SSA and stated that Operational profit
of Pune SSA in the last financial year was 112 crore because Pune SSA has made depreciation of 130crore whereas net
profit was 18 crores. He categorically
told that last financial year profit of Pune SSA was one third of entire MH
circle. Lastly he thanked all for invitation.
Com.
M S Adasul, Dy GS SNEA
CHQ in his touching speech extended warm greeting for the 5th District
Conference of SNEA Pune organised on 5th June of 2016. He
appreciated the working of Dr Shri P K Hota, PGMT Pune and mentioned that he has settled major HR issues of
comrades of SNEA Pune. He categorically appreciated the enhanced performance of
EB team of Pune SSA which has played major role in revenue earning. There is
nothing minus in pune, he added. He congratulated Com
Bharat Sonawane, DS SNEA Pune for adding 157
new members in SNEA family and also mentioned that contribution of revenue
earned by Pune SSA is more than 15 % of revenue earned
to that of the entire MH circle. Net profit of 18 crore in the last financial year is really appreciable when expenses of
ITPC are included in the revenue earned by Pune SSA. He told that he is
expecting more revenue from Pune SSA in coming days. He mentioned that SNEA is
aware of shortage of staff at Pune and we will be putting this issue more
strongly with CGMT MH circle in coming days. We will try to post more no of
TTAs in Pune and they can be utilised for broadband
maintenance. He reiterated that posting of new recruits in field at their first
place of posting is important because they will get ample opportunities to
learn new things and gain experience. Level of motivation is required. Even
though it is available with every employees of BSNL, very few wanted to execute
it in reality. Self-initiatives for betterment of BSNL is essential. We have to concentrate on our services, restoration of
faults in time is very essential to save BSNL from revenue loss, he further
stated. He mentioned that SNEA has always talks initially on
development issues and we have better experience that our HR issues will get
settled inevitably. SNEA always follows policy. PGMT Pune has vital role to play in
generation of revenue for Pune SSA and also thereby for entire MH circle
because Pune has that potential. Everybody including MOC is now talking
positive about BSNL. It is the fact that BSNL has given requisite services
during natural calamities and disasters. Hon PM has also put forth in his
portfolio that BSNL has now improved. He raised the objection about the working
of personnel section of BSNLCO, why the files are being kept pending unless and
until somebody goes there and intervene, why they are not working on policy, he
questioned. Lastly he shown his unwillingness to work on any non-functional
post because he don’t want to sit idle and it gives pain to him if the members
issues are not settled in time. Lastly he urged to increase interactions with
members and expressed hope that all will work for betterment of BSNL and concluded his speech after expressing
best wishes for executives of Pune SSA.
Dr Shri P K Hota, PGMT Pune in his
motivational speech, specifically stated that he is not inclined to any
unions/associations, however always ready to co-ordinate for any development
activities in Pune SSA. He told that he has worked in field in his entire
service, may be having bad tongue but has good heart. He has
neither issued any letter to any executives in Pune nor any charge sheet to
anyone. We are now working in competition era, he added and by providing quality
service, we are getting money. We have to increase our customer base, let it be
landline, mobile or lease circuits but see that it is uninterrupted and fault
free. Value addition in landline, mobile FTTH, EB is vital and important as far
as revenue earning is concerned, he stated. He has proved it statistically for
Pune SSA. In last financial year, there was –ve growth in landline as well as
broadband. If we were able to retain subscribers in landline and broadband, it
would have been a + ve revenue shift but still Pune
SSA is positive in revenue because we were positive in value addition, he
explained. We have to improve fault restoration, he added. He told
that he has good interaction with CMD and also requested him to give time for
forum of unions/association of Pune SSA. He mentioned that CMD has appreciated
the working of Pune SSA, it’s culture and told that Pune is always close to his heart, he being
from Jabalpur. Dr Shri P K Hota mentioned further in his speech that expenditure for procurement of
materials by any company is possible when there is profit, increase in revenue
can be possible by increasing quality of service, he stated. He urged all to
introspect and work hard. There is huge potential in Pune SSA, there is no
difference between you and me, he stated. He also mentioned that he has the confidence and he can improve Pune in days to
come. He mentioned that he likes the Pune’s culture;
he has competency in HR and always sees to post right personnel at right job which has been executed in pune telecom so far. Earlier Maharashtra circle was no 1 in revenue
earning however see the performance of Kerala circle now, they have attracted
customers and earned profit in last financial year. He appealed to improve our
quality in service, everybody is superior, he stated. There is nothing good
than door to door service, then why you cannot sell urservices/products, he questioned.
Explore your talent, together we can improve, he appealed. He requested to
arrest surrender of connections when we have ample materials in field. He
stated that he has good staff here at Pune. At the concluding part of his
speech, he requested CS SNEA MH to assist in posting some DEs at Pune. He
