Comrade P.V.Chandrasekharan, the Chief Patron of All India BSNL-DOT Pensioners Association (AIBDPA) and the President of its Kerala unit, is an organiser par excellence. The holding of the Kerala Circle Conference of AIBDPA has once again proved the same.
Comrade P.V.Chandrasekharan is a product of the highly political sensitive land of Kannur District from where many leaders like Coms. AKG , EK Nayanar etc. have arisen. Even from his student days Com. PVC was connected with the progressive movement and the Student Federation. Com. AK Padmanabhan, President CITU and PVC were classmates.
Within days of joining the P&T Department in 1963 at Telephone Exchange Alapuzha, he was fully engaged with the union activities. After getting transfer to Kannur, as the Branch Secretary of the union, he organised many struggles for settlement of local issues. The Baliapatnam agitation is well-known by the P&T comrades. He was victimised several times and transferred from place to place for his union activities.
During the 1968 strike, he organised it atKkannur in a very effective way. For the correct approach and ideological struggle in the P&T movementat All India and Circle levels, Com. PVC had a pivotal role. He was elected as the Circle Secretary of the All India Telecom Employees Union Class III for about two decades from 1981 after me. He worked as President of the BSNL Employees Union also.
In organising and strengthening BSNLEU in Kerala, Com.PVC has done the pivotal role. Loved and respected by all, though he do not have any post in BSNLEU, he is its guide and philosopher. A number of young comrades were brought to the leadership by him. After retirement he has taken over the leadership of AIBDPA and CGPA. He is still connected with all the progressive organisations in thestate.
I had the opportunity to work with him for the last 5 decades and always got support and advice from him. I wish him a long period of service to the people.

As a union leader he performed his duty entrusted him with utmost sincerity and dedication. As a politician he always stands with havenots. He never let his ups and downs or good or bad times to influence his path….thus he continues his duty to the society and commitments to his party….
A rare model of politician which the country badly demands these periods
