The introduction of the PIN code by the P&T Department in 1972 ( 15th August) was a great advancement for the transportation and delivery of the letters, telegrams etc.
The PIN code was arranged in such a way that the Postman / Sorter can immediately find out the state, the district/city and the area in the city/town.
But even after 40 years many people do not use it regularly. Noting the PIN code helps early transportation and delivery. Do not forget to put the PIN code in the address.

The end of the glorious and sustained war of independence was the division of India in to India and Pakistan. Both declared Independence but Pakistan on 14th and India on 15th August 1947. While all rejoiced in getting independence, both countries had to face the biggest migration of people from one country to the other the world has ever seen.Thousands of people might have been perished in the violence that continued.
India has grown financially, militarily and in so many ways. But the benefit has all gone to the rich and the powerful. The poor is becoming poorer, while the rich become richer.
On this Independence Day let us all try to strengthen democracy as also social justice to all.

The Circle Conference of BSNLEU was held at Koodal Sangamam, the merger of Rivers Krishna and Mala Prabha in Bagalkot District, Bijapur SSA on 11 -12 August 2012. This is the place where the great social reformer of 12th Century, Basavanna preached and also committed suicide to escape from the high caste Brahmins who chased him for organising a marriage between a dalit and a Brahmin. As the Minister of the King he made many reforms and also initiated free discussion groups, all of which were not digested by the rulers and the priests.
Koodal Sangamam is a beautiful place with the background of the Sangamam of the rivers. The atmosphere was cool and there were showers of rain. But it did not affect the conduct of the Conference. Every thing was arranged well by the Reception Committee headed by Com.GB Salakki AGS and SR Naik, District Secretary.
The Conference was attended by the President and General Secretary of BSNLEU, Coms. Namboodiri and Abhimanyu, who explained the latest position on the issues and the organisational matters.
The discussion by the delegates were mostly based on the issues connected with the expansion and development as also improvement of the financial position of BSNL. The need for providing a better service was pointed out by many. The CGM and other top officers also participated and addressed.
The Conference decided to improve the union membership and called upon the workers to give a better victory to BSNLEU in the next verification!
The Conference unanimously elected Comrade B.P.Narayana as Circle President, C.K.Gundanna as Circle Secretary and Keshav as Circle Treasurere.

New Delhi, Aug 9 : Left parties would raise the banner of protest against the UPA government’s ‘anti-people’ economic policies by holding a dharna in the Parliament precincts next week, Left sources said today. Parliamentary leaders of CPI-M, CPI, RSP and Forward Bloc met here today and decided that their MPs would concentrate on raising issues like price rise, unemployment, food security, agrarian crisis, FDI in retail and the general anti-avoidance rules (GAAR) on taxing foreign investments, they said. The leaders also decided to hold a protest dharna at the main gate of the Parliament House on Tuesday, the sources said. The meeting was attended among others by Sitaram Yechury, Basudeb Acharia (both CPI-M), D Raja and Gurudas Dasgupta (both CPI). The four parties recently staged a five-day dharna here on the issue of food security, demanding amendments to the Food Security Bill to include universalisation of public distribution system and ban on futures and forward trading in foodgrains and essential items, among other things. The CPI-M has been demanding that the government enacts a law to make the right to food a fundamental right in the backdrop of the UN Global Hunger Index, which ranks India 67th among 80 countries which suffer from acute hunger of its people. It has estimated that 25 per cent of the world’s hungry today were Indians. Besides growing inequalities, Yechury recently said widespread agrarian distress, suicides by farmers and drastic reduction in the per capita availability of foodgrains and pulses show the rise of absolute poverty among certain sections of people.

The meeting of the change of designation committee was held today. The staff side demanded early agreement on the demands put by the staff side. The staff side once again reiterated the demands with full data and justification. It seems that the official side is against granting the designation with Officer, Engineer etc. Staff side expressed its strong protest against the totally unjustified stand of the official side.
The next meeting will be held on 24th August.

Whether PFRDA, Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill and Banking (Amendment) Bill will come to the Parliament in this session? As per reports in the media, the chances are dim since the government do not have the majority in the Rajya Sabha to get them passed. Some of the allies. Like Mamata Government, are not in support of these bills. The chances are that to avoid complication, the bills may not be presented in this session.
