As every one knows, BSNL is at cross roads. The continued loss for the last four years, the market share coming down, scarcity of funds, scarcity of equipments and above all the discriminatory and anti-PSU policy of the government has resulted in the bad days for BSNL. All understand this. What is the remedy?

How to improve, revive and strengthen BSNL is the challenge. BSNL has gone down, but it has still got more than sufficient strength to come back and take its position in telecom sector. Put all our strength and fight to change the anti-PSU policy of the government. A positive and efficient management is the next requirement. It is not that the present top management is not capable, but they lost their moral authority due to various negative action it has taken with regard to the growth of the company. A deputationist management is not the present requirement. Young, talented and committed leadership is the need of the hour.

The workers and their unions/associations have a very big role to play. While fighting for changing the government policy and for a better management, they have to rally the workers effectively for providing a better service, even within the present limitations of equipment crunch etc. At the local level continued pressure should be put on the field level management to ensure that the faults are removed in time, new connections are given and also the equipments function effectively. They should also ensure that is co-ordination between the management and the workers so that problems are solved quickly.

The challenge to improve BSNL is before us. The Challenge should be converted in to an opportunity and save BSNL. It is possible.
