The BSNL Board is expected to meet at least once in a month. BSNL is a mega company and is facing stiff competition from private companies. It is in loss for the last three financial years. Improving the company is important to the country as also all stake holders including the workers. There are many issues regarding the development and expansion issues, financial strategies, marketing etc. to be considered and decided. In addition, a lot issues of the workers are also pending with the Board.

But the Board has not met even once in April 2012. It is not known when the next meeting of the Board will be held. Is it because the CMD and some of the Board members have been on tour, including foreign travels. We are not told what is the reason. Any, it is the responsiblity of the BSNL management to ensure that the Board meeting is held early and decisions are taken to take company forward and settle the issues of the workers.
