It was four years earlier, on this day, 21st October 2009, that the mighty organisation of the pensioners, All India BSNL DOT Pensioners Association (AIBDPA) was born. In the National convention of BSNL-DOT Pensioners held at New Delhi on 21st October 2009, this new organisation was formed.It was a long waited dream of the BSNL-DOT Pensioners.
During the last 4 years, the organisation has strengthened and is now the biggest organisation of BSNL-DOT Pensioners. It has taken up the issue of the pensioners in general and that of BSNL-DOT pensioners in particular. AIBDPA organised several agitational programmes including a Parliament March and focussed the attention of the Government and the BSNL Management on the urgent and long pending demands of pensioners.It participated iin all the programmes of BSNLEU and BSNL Forum, with which it has got close association.
The First All India Conference of AIBDPA has been a historic event both in view of the high level of discussions, massive attendance and the decisions taken. The CEC held at Jaipur recently has charted out the path ahead.
AIBDPA CHQ has called upon all the units to observe 21st October, the birth anniversary of the organisation in a suitable way by hoisting the Union Flag, holding meetings etc.
We have many issues to be settled and we will certainly ensure that the same are achieved.
AIBDPA Zindabad!

Yesterday, 15th February, Dharna as per the call of the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations was held in all SSAs in a massive way. Since I am at Calicut, the comrades here invited me to inaugurate the same. The dharna was organised at the GM office premises. A large number of participants were there. After shouting of slogans by comrades on the demands raised, I started my address. I spoke in detail about the main issue of grant of 78.2% IDA fixation as also on the necessity of improvement of BSNL Services, about the 20-21 February strike etc. The comrades were very attentive. As usual such programmes are always successfully organised here. Leaders of the Forum of Unions/Associations also addressed.

Before returning to my home, I met old friends and comrades and discussed general matters for some time. Interestingly I found out that a good number of pensioners also have attended the dharna. After the AIBDPA has been formed, the leaders and members are fully co-ordinating their activities with that of the regular employees. Now AIBDPA comrades are working to make the 20-21 February strike a big success. It is the same way with regular employees also. They are fully co-ordinating their activities with the pensioners.
Our decision to form AIBDPA – the united organisation of the DOT and BSNL Pensioners – has been proved correct once again.
