The leaders of the Joint Forum of BSNL & MTNL Unions/Associations met Shri Kapil Sibal, Communications Minister and presented our strong demand for the early repatriation of the ITS officers from BSNL to DOT, as opted by them. A detailed note on the matter was submitted to him. The Joint Forum demanded that immediate repatriation should be done failing which all the BSNL absorbed employees also should be taken back to DOT (Government ) Service. The Minister patiently heard the demands and stated that he is aware of the developments and will look in to the same.
A letter demanding for implementation of the assurances at the time of formation of the PSUs, special consideration for the financial viability of the BSNL & MTNL, and a copy of the letter sent to the Prime minister were also handed over to the Minister for early decision.

Hindustan machine Tools (HMT) is gradually shifting to manufacture of defence products. For some time the PSU was on loss and had to rent/sell its land etc. But now they have started producing defence products like weapons, missile parts etc. and may come out from the difficult times. ITI, which was also in similar difficulties has turned to defence equipments in the past few months.
Let both these PSUs, which have been the torch-bearers of growth in India, regain their past glory early. My Best Wishes for their early recovery and flourish!

The call was given jointly by the central trade unions.
My hearty congratulations to the workers and officers of the NALCO for their militant struggle against disinvestment and the anti-PSU policies of the government.

It is a shame for the Indian rulers that the country is far behind in removing hunger. As per the World Bank reports, India ranks 65 in a total of 79 countries in terms of hunger measurements.
In case of child nutrition, India is the last but one out of 129 countries, as per the same World bank report. Only one small country, which most of us might not heard even, Timor Leste, is the last.
In the same way, 36% of Indian women of childbearing age are undernourished compared with only 16% in 23 Sub-Saharan countries.
The India government should hang its head in shame. Even after 65 years of its independence it had not cared the health of its people. The amount for health is being reduced in % every time. The sector, like higher education, is left to the mercy of the private sharks, who mint money in billions and millions by making them business and maximum profits.
This should change. The Indian Government should be shaken up and made to change its policy and take care of the health of the common people.

Some tainted and ineffective ministers are being changed today to give a better face to the government, as per the media reports. S.M.Krishna, External minister and some others are being sent out. But will this give a better face to the government?
The answer is an emphatic NO! Many of the present ministers are involved in mega scams, but they have not been asked to resign or shunted out. The government is not prepared to make any enquiry against them. CBI is being made to act according to the requirement of the ruling party and the saying the it is ” Congress Bureau of Investigation” seems to have some meaning.
It is clear that the present change will not clear the image of the government. Many of the tainted ministers are still in important positions. The Prime Minister himself is in the shadow of corruption.
