Do not destroy ALTTC, the prime training centre and centre of excellence of BSNL

30 Sunday Jun 2019

One more attack on BSNL from the Government.

The DOT has issued orders on 21st June 2019 intimating its decision to take over Advanced Level Telecom Training Centre (ALTTC) campus,Ghaziabad, the prime institution for telecom advanced training and also an institution declared as “Centre of Excellence” by International Telecom Union (ITU). This is being done on the plea of establishing National Telecommunication Institute for Policy Research, Innovation and Training (NTIPRIT). The take over process is on the line.

The first point is that NTIPRIT is already working in the ALTTC campus and two floors in the Administrative building in the campus are allotted to it. Other critical installations like INMARSAT, ISRO GSAT Gateway, ERP Center etc. are also working in the campus. For the functioning of NTIPRIT, it is not at all necessary to take over the entire campus, which is the property of BSNL and which is utilised by ALTTC and other prime institutions. This is only a carefully devised plan to divest BSNL of this prime asset.

Let us understand what is ALTTC? It is one of the two advanced level telecom training centres of BSNL, the other being the BRABRAIT at Jabalpur. ALTTC gives various training to the top officers and Engineers of BSNL. It is also conducting special courses for various institutions regularly and earning money for BSNL. In the Financial year 2017-18, it organised 595 courses with a total number of 8078 trainees with a total number of 68538 dys. In 2018-19, the courses increased to 595, trainees to 11145 and the days to 96405. BSNL is earning good amount through these training courses.

Why the government is taking over this prime campus, which has been functioning extremely well all these years? It is mainly to capture the assets of BSNL. The entire campus is about 80 acres which will be worth about Rs. 4,856 crores @ moderate rate of Rs. 1,50,000 per sqm, in the heart of Ghaziabad-Delhi. The cost of the several buildings in the campus including the three hostels etc will come to about Rs. 190 crore. Cost of laboratories, movable assets etc. will come to many crores. It is these valuable assets that the government want to take over arbitrarily.

It is to be mentioned that most of the assets throughout the country have not been transferred to BSNL, despite decision for the same in 2000 at the time of formation of BSNL. Inspite of strong demand from the BSNL and the Unions in BSNL, this is not implemented. In the meanwhile, government is taking over many buildings, which are with BSNL. The heritage CTO building in Bengaluru is already taken by Govt. for accommodation of TRAI, Many such buildings have been confiscated by the govt. The latest is the ALTTC.

BSNL is struggling to survive and improve. The stiff competition and the favouritism to the private companies, pro-PSU policy are some of the reasons. Now BSNL has requested DOT to hand over all the assets due to it from the government for monetisation etc. for improving financial position. It is at this time, that even the existing assets are forcibly taken over by Govt.

We express our strong protest against this attack on the BSNL and demand that the decision to take over the ALTTC campus by govt should be withdrawn.

End Corruption in BSNL

Corruption has become a habit of life for many. Though giving bribe and accepting the same is criminal and against the law, it flourishes in government departments and also public services. BSNL is not different. Many think that it is a right and there is nothing wrong in it. Very unfortunate.

I may be wrong, but I feel that if corruptive practices are put an end to in BSNL, the company will become profitable earlier than expected. Can’t all of us make a big effort for the same.

Say NO to Corruption!

With its deep pockets of billions of crores of rupees, Mukesh Ambani owned Reliance Jio has started its entry in to 4G with very aggressive announcements. The other private telecom companies are almost shattered to their wits.

CMD BSNL, Shri Anupam Shrivastava has stated that this high level entry of Jio is really a challenge; but BSNL will match the competition in tariff. Already the tariff and plans of BSNL are low and customer friendly. Yes, if needed, it will be made more customer friendly. The management and the workers have to unitedly face the new challenge put up by the Reliance Jio.

Congratulations to all employees and management of BSNL. In August 2016, BSNL has provided a total connection of 23,07,301 which is about 103% of the target fixed for the month. It is only with the wholehearted support of the workers and the management that this achievement could be made. It is to be noted that for the last few months, BSNL has been providing connections above 20 laklhs. This we have to continue. Further better service is also to be provided so that the customers will be happy with BSNL and its workers.

It is stated by Shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL, that all the projected 2199 mobile towers in the naxalite areas have been installed, before the target period of December 2016. This is a great achievement of the management and the workers of BSNL. Hearty Congratulations to all involved! It is to be noted here that the private companies are shying away from erecting mobile towers and giving service in the naxalite and other troubled areas. They are only interested in profit. It is only BSNL, the telecom PSU, which enters these domains and provide service.

Prepare for serious struggle against closure / strategic sale of BSNL

It is reported in Hindu that BSNL, Air India etc. are recommended to be closed / strategically sold by NITI Ayog (former Planning Commission) along with many other loss making PSUs. It is also reported that the government may not accept the recommendation in the case of BSNL immediately, since the government fear stiff opposition from its 2.5 lakh employees. ITI is already in the list. It is also reported that the government will start with ‘low hanging fruit’ and later proceed with the big catch.

The intention of the government is very clear. It wants to handover the most profitable telecom sector completely to the private, including BSNL. VSNL is already sold. BSNL seems to be the next target, since Delhi based MTNL, may be the last target because of its being in the capital of the country with all government offices, including that of President, Prime Minister, Defence establishments etc.

Its inability to impose VRS and disinvesment in BSNL earlier, due to strong protest and agitation from the workforce, only is keeping the government from privatising/closing BSNL. Any weakening of the Forum / united movement of the workers will be utilised by the government to implement its dark agenda. The workers can not be caught unawares.

Strengthen Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations to fight against privatisation/closure of BSNL!

BSNL should approach all PSUs, Government Departments for providing service

BSNL is gradually getting revived both in customer service as also on financial basis. It is in the front with regad to providing mobile connections for the last 4-5 months, much more than any private telco.

This is the time to woe more customers for BSNL. Though the demand of the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations that BSNL service should be made mandatory as in the case of Air India for government functionaries was not accepted, the situation has come, when at the initiative of the company itself, the effort can be made.

BSNL Management can directly approach the Central and the state governments requesting them to take BSNL service in all their departments and establishments. In the same way, the state governments and other PSUs also should be approached. The details of our services, the plans benefiting the customers, any new plans which can be introduced, special consideration etc. etc. can be intimated so that both BSNL and the government can be benefited.

This is the appropriate time for achieving the target. The Unions and associations in BSNL as well the employees should take the initiative.
