Update on SNEA Diary & Calendars 2026: In the three days CHQ OB meeting held from 02 to 04/12/2025 at SNEA CHQ Office, Janpath, New Delhi, it has been decided that this year also SNEA CHQ will print BSNL Executive Dairy 2026 and Calendars 2026 (Wall & Table) and accordingly the work has been started.

In an important decision taken by CHQ in response to demand by many CS/DS, COBs/DOBs, CWC/CEC Members, SNEA CHQ has decided to bear the cost of both Diary and Calendars to be distributed to SNEA members @ one Diary, One Wall Calendar and one Table Calendar each member.

This includes the Transportation Charges also till receipt of items to consignee given by DS/CS. Consignee Data is being collected for the same by Shri. Tata Babu CHQT and all CS are requested to share/send consolidated the details latest by 03/12/2025.

As the entire cost is being beared/paid by CHQ now,  no cost needs to be paid/beared by Circles/Districts for the Diary or Calendars of 2026 to SNEA Members.

But charges will be applicable for additional Diary/Calendars, which will be supplied as per request from the CS concerned and for this additional supply the concerned Circles/Districts will have to bear the entire cost which is Rs. 180 per set i.e. One Diary (Rs 120/-) One Wall Calendar (Rs 50/- each) and One Table Calendar (Rs 10/- each ) or as per quantity of each item needed separately.

Though there was a proposal for printing Advertisements in Diary, the same has been dropped as the cost of printing Advertisements is more than the charges we are receiving through advertisement. Hence there will be no advertisement in Diary or Calendar.

The requirement of additional Quantity is to be shared with Shri. Tata Babu CHQ Treasurer latest by 01/12/2025 and no additional order will be accepted after 02/12/2025.

This time we are printing Diary as well as Calendar at Nagpur, MH and Shri. Samir Khare, AGS SNEA CHQ is in charge of this total work starting from designing to transportation of material to consignee DS/CS.

Update on JTO to SDE promotions in Civil/Electrical wing: The sea-saw game between different units of BSNL Corporate with extreme level of all possible negative efforts by certain negative minded officers dealing with Promotions with sole aim of not issuing JTO to SDE Promotions orders for last two years, seems to have come to conclusion as the issue has been finally cleared by Legal Cell in last week with go ahead signal for JTO to SDE Promotions both under SCF/LICE Quota.

This may be the fourth attempt that the Pers/DPC section has sent the same file to Legal Cell BSNL CO for getting fresh clarification on already clarified points/issues and asking for similar flimsy clarification on the known issues.

This is a classic example of how a certain group of officers with the negative mindset can delay any solid proposal of promotions for a maximum period by twisting the issues by raising unwanted queries and creating fear and doubts in minds of senior officers on the known issues.

After such useless exercise of asking repeated clarifications from Legal Cell and all out efforts to delay the JTO to SDE Promotions of Civil and Electrical wing for more than two years, finally the process is moving forward for conduction of DPC.

One can check all such useless activities and deliberate delay in deciding this issue. One side CMD BSNL is asking for efficient working from field units, but here in Corporate Office under direct control of CMD BSNL, the issues are moving only in red tape manner and in tortoise speed that to be for promotion of officers waiting for their first promotion in last 27 to 30 years of joining as JTO in DoT/BSNL.

This promotion is seeing day light with table to table and person to person continuous persuasion by SNEA at all levels, and some of officers threatened us if SNEA is intervening they will spoil the proposal by raising queries & concern to the extent that Promotions will never happen for JTOs in Civil wing. Unfortunately they have been successful to some extent as the proposal is being shunted in the file for the last two years even after firm assurances by Director HR and personal instructions to concerned officers. If the officers concerned do not make any further attempt to derail the DPC of Civil wing by raising such known queries and doubts, , the Promotion Orders of JTO to SDE Civil wing are expected in the second week of December 2025 as certain responsible officers are on leave in this week.

The file of proposal for JTO to SDE Promotions in Electrical wing which was sent about four five times by EW wing in last two years was earlier returned repeatedly by quoting pending case of Civil wing and when sent last in May 2025, the same has been kept on hold by DPC Pers section without assigning any reason.

Now this file will be sent back to CGM EW for sending fresh proposal most probably for calling VCs and SCR for JTO to SDE Promotion DPC and after DPC for JTO to SDE Promotions in Civil wing, the DPC for JTO to SDE Promotions in Electrical wing will be conducted very shortly and if nothing goes wrong JTOs in Electrical wing will be promoted in January 2026.

National Constitution Day:  The leaders of All Unions and Associations, Celebrated National Constitution Day in meeting of AUAB held at the SEWA CHQ office on 26/12/2025. VIDEO <<<>>

Meeting of Leaders of AUAB with CMD BSNL: After meeting of AUAB leaders on 18/11/2025 and after analysing and reviewing the progress on different demands raised by the Unions and Associations of BSNL, it was decided to have meeting with CMD BSNL and accordingly request was submitted on same day. But due to the busy schedule of CMD BSNL, the time was given to All Unions and Associations on 25/11/2025. Copy<<<>>

Accordingly the meeting of General Secretaries and the representatives of the Unions and Associations in BSNL was held with the CMD BSNL on 25/11/2025 in presence of Director HR and PGM Estt having additional Charge of PGM Admn, Pers, SR, Rstg, Trg, Rectt etc.

At the outset, Convenor AUAB expressed displeasure on the poor and casual handling of HR issues and mainly he raised concern about two months’ time taken in processing proposal of Wage negations after signing of agreement by Recognised Unions. We reminded CMD BSNL that this delay happens even with his firm assurance to expedite the process once agreement is signed by Unions.

In response, the CMD BSNL assured that necessary action would be taken to place the proposal in the next MC meeting, after resolving the objections raised by the Finance Section. PGM Estt with all other additional charges informed that the proposal is being made perfect in all respect so that it should not be returned from DoT with any objection.

The leaders further expressed dissatisfaction regarding the slow progress in settling the HR issues of both the Executive and Non-Executive employees.

Responding to say of Leaders on resolution of HR issues, CMD BSNL at his own reminded Director HR what happened to the decision he has announced in the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti Programme by SEWA CHQ to change the name of CTO Sabhagar Eastern Court to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Sabhagar, wherein Director HR informed he is repeatedly talking with CGM CNTxN Delhi, but he has not acted on his repeated directions.

In response, we pointed out that though Director HR is talking regularly with CGM CNTxN on this issue, the issue is not decided even after six months of public announcement made by CMD BSNL on which Director HR got annoyed and said that leaders are complaining against him even after his supportive actions from his side.

CMD BSNL intervened and directed him to take immediate action and see that CTO Sabhagar is renamed in respect of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar without any further delay and meet the public promise on this subject.  

During the discussions, the leadership also strongly criticised the manner in which the Management handled the issues related to the Tamil Nadu and Chennai circles and not adhering to repeated assurances given in meetings held in the chamber of Director HR for keeping on hold the Agitational programme started all over India. NOTICE <<<>>  MINUTEs <<<>> 

We categorically reminded that issues were discussed in depth and it was assured by Director HR that GM HR TN and GM HR CHTD who are main culprits in misguiding CGM TN will be transferred by 26/11/2025 and it was appealed to us to keep on hold agitational programme.

We added that by now one month passed and meantime every persuasion it was assured that GM HR TN who is basically Shri Tulsi Raman, Jt GM Arch is given Charge of GM HR TN locally by CGM TN against order of BSNL CO not to give any local GM Promotions and GM HR CHTD Shri Bhaskar, who is working in CHTD Circle for last 12 years i.e. from 2014 will be transferred from present Circles and it was assured for consideration of appeals against punishments sympathetically.

In response CMD BSNL reacted that he has not assured any transfers and we have categorically pointed to the discussions held in the chamber of Director HR with three hours wait for confirmation of the same from CMD BSNL and minutes issued thereafter with a gentleman promise by Director HR to settle industrial unrest in CHTD and TN Circles latest by 26/11/2025.

But in a strange attitude from the gentleman Director HR Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, with U-turn from his firm assurances and promises, he first joined with the stand of CMD BSNL that no such assurances were given and we reminded him categorically about discussions held in the meeting and how he was waiting for concurrence of CMD BSNL to confirm before issuing minutes of the meeting and how already drafted minutes were diluted with intervention of CMD BSNL.

After this crystal clear picture by leaders, Director HR took a total U-turn from his assurances and in a very strange and total arrogant tone which was never expected from him, he told that though he had assured earlier now he is informing that GM HR TN and GM HR CHTD will not be transferred at any cost. Perhaps he was trying to protect him from the anger of CMD BSNL for taking dual stand or stand against some earlier directions by CMD BSNL.

This betrayal was the turning & twisting point of the discussions and it was a direct breach of trust between Management and Unions/Associations and the picture became crystal clear that the words of Director HR BSNL have no meaning and only words of CMD BSNL are final in BSNL.

Then CMD BSNL intervened and assured that issues of appeal submitted by affected executives in CHTD Circle are being taken care of but he was firm on no transfers of long stayed GM HR CHTD Shri Bhaskar and unofficially promoted GM HR TN Shri Tulasi Raman and also CGM TN Shri. Parthiban even after pointing out all wrong doings by Trio and happenings against rules and guidelines of BSNL.

Concluding hot discussions on betrayal of assurances given by Director HR, the CMD BSNL agreed to the proposal by Convenor for looking into burning HR issues of Executives and Non-Executives and asked to submit a list of such issues.

We reacted that many such lists are already and repeatedly submitted by Associations with categorisation to deal with HR issues with ease viz. HR issues with no financial impact, small financial impact and certain minimum financial impact, but nothing happened on this list in the last one year and even simple issues like benevolent fund, sabbatical leave, promotional proposals with zero financial impact on BSNL and firmly agreed by CMD BSNL are not decided for the last one year.

But Convenor shared that we will submit the separate list of burning HR issues of Executives & Non-Executives and requested CMD BSNL to look into the issues.

Thus, this meeting concluded with strong displeasure by the leaders of Unions and Associations on poor HR approach by present Management and with one more assurance by CMD BSNL to look into these issues witnessing dual stand of Director HR during discussions with Unions and Associations in his chamber and in similar discussions in the chamber of CMD BSNL.
