I had suggested that an action programme to connect with all the subscribers in BSNL can be orgnaised to win the support and instill confidence in both the employees and also the subscribers.

There are about 1.5 crore land line connections with BSNL. The company has got about 2,20,000 workforce including ITS, Executives and Non-Executives. For convenience, let us take 2,00,000 workers for a calculation. Let us also take that there are about 20 working days in a month. In such a situation, if the action programme ‘One Day. One Employee, One Subscriber’ is implemented, within 3 months, the employees can approach each and every landline subscriber in the country. I know this is not easy as to say or write. But, it is not impossible to work out. Much greater work could be done, if there is determination and mindset to organise the same. Teams with 3 or 4 members can visit 3 or 4 subscribers in a day as a practical method.

The ‘09.00 PM- 07.00 AM Free  Call’ Scheme by BSNL and the ‘Free Roaming’ scheme are a chance to meet the subscribers and convince them to retain their landline phones and also to take new connections by others. BSNL Management also is doing its bit in providing equipment and other material. The Communications Minister is issuing statements almost daily that he wants to improve BSNL and MTNL and make them profitable. There never was such a situation earlier.

This is a golden opportunity to revive BSNL. For that subscriber support and confidence are required. Meeting the subscribers and convincing them about the benefit of BSNL services is a must. If the BSNL Management and the employees make an action programme for the same, I have no doubt that we will win. Not only new connections can be added, but the many subscribers who surrendered their phones will come back.

Are we prepared to make a start?
