As per the Circle wise Income and Expenditure released by BSNL, only three territorial circles are in profit during 2012-13. They are Kerala, Odisha and Jammu and Kashmir. Last year, 2011-12, only the first two circles were having profit.
Kerala is the only circle which improved its profits in 2013. It improved from Rs. 157 crores to Rs.257 crores an increase of 64%. Odisha, though posted profit, it is reduced from Rs. 35 to Rs.30 crores. J and K which was in loss of Rs.26 crores last years made a profit of Rs. 2 crores this year.
The following circles have increased revenue from the year 2011-12 to 2012-13: Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, A.P., T.N. and Maharashtra, although they could not post profit.
10 circles have increased their losses in this year. 13 circles have reduced their losses.
BSNL in total has reduced its loss marginally from Rs.8,851 crore in 2012 to Rs. 7,884 crore in 2012-13.
The efforts by Management as well as the big campaign organised by the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations have shown some results, though very marginal. This is not sufficient.
More dedication, Commitment, determination are required on the part of the Management and Workers. Along with that, joint efforts are required to get maximum financial support from the Government.
BSNL has to be revived for Better Service to the Nation and for the benefit of the workers also.
