New Delhi: The employees' associations of BSNL have sought Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's intervention, demanding change in management and induction of professionals in the Board to operate the state run telco, reports PTI.
Upset by deteriorating market share and falling revenues, the employees' associations of BSNL which represents over 10,000 graduate engineers and account professionals at the company approached the Prime Minister to appoint a new management team selected through a national search for talented professionals outside the government. "We have written to the Prime Minister's Office to look into the matter among other things. There is absence of professional management at the Board level at BSNL," said the President of All India Graduate Engineer Telecom Officers Association (AIGETOA), NJP Shilohu Rao. "We are also planning to meet Sam Pitroda, who is the IT adviser to the Prime Minister, and raise these issue with him."
This comes in the wake of BSNL's deteriorating market share in the last various quarters. The telco's revenues dipped by about 12 percent in 2008-09 to over Rs. 33,000 crore.
Drawing comparison between another ailing PSU Air India, the association said, "The decision to employ prominent and professionally well qualified COO in place of old brass is path-breaking in the history of public sector enterprises."

1: I guess this is the first time a government run enterprise has shown boldness and willingness to move ahead from their helpless state. This I guess is the first instance where I can say that a govt company is learning a lesson from globalization and liberalization. Hope the same happens in every state run enterprises.

2: As a consumer i would like to say some for the management and the Employees of BSNL
Please give more attention to maketing the simple prepaid and post paid services am a BSNL user and am receiving a plenty of adv messages of Airtel and Aircel,how irritating is this,kindly stop this first,secondly .while BSNL board gives permission to lay Towers of other services providers in nook and corner why can they increase the counts of the BSNL towers and base stations?every one who uses BSNL will have a feed back "very very poor network coverage" please note this!
And for the BSNL employees when u fight for the change of management kindly first change yourself please use only BSNL cells, internet and so this will make u all realize what to do next atleast and then do blame the management.

3: There may be a grain of truth in what the employees say.Professional management of Govt. profit-centres has to take place in order to sustain and grow.But, we may have the other side of the coin to think about as well.The BSNL employees are a unionised lot and they have been used so much to collective bargaining, at times for unreasonable causes.Their mindset should also change in keeping with times if they really want BSNL to retain market share and grow.Will they do it is the moot point.

4:To the part of other side of the coin i wish to highlight only if the old brash and disgusting political head are removed from all Govt run profit centres & public welfare organisations that there will be a good union as well as good profit running business. Instead of privatising govt establisement it is better to replace professionals at board levels with autonomous powers (i.e. without politicians hold)

5: Thx Varun for that comment.I quite agree with what u have said.In fact, all Govt-run businesses would be better off without the political babus influencing the decision-making.

10:I have a land line cum broadband connection.
The connection is down from last 5 days and the staffs are saying that it'a bcz of cable cut done during road repair.
Can you expect the same reply from a private ISP.
I don't think so.
These are the reasons the market share is going down not the bad management.
BSNL enggs: first look at these issues than proceed to the management.

11:It is not the management, it is employee at ground level who is responsible for BSNL bad performance. They are not courteous, ill-mannered etc..... as a result of which customer do not prefer BSNL. Customer service and response time is too long and torturing. So instead of changing management employees should introspect and change their priorities.
