Giving promotions on completion of every 5 years to the Executives and giving promotions to the Non-Executives on completion of every 8 years is nothing but giving one type of treatment to the white-skinned people and giving another type of treatment to the black-skinned people – argued Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU, in the National Council meeting..

As per the Executive Promotion Policy (EPP), Executives get promotion after every 5 years. But, as per the Non-Executive Promotion Policy (NEPP), Non-Executives get promotion only on completion of every 8 years. BSNLEU has long been demanding that, the discrimination between EPP and NEPP should be removed. It is important to mention that, BSNLEU has organised many struggles, demanding settlement of this discrimination. This issue was taken up by BSNLEU in the National Council meeting held on 13.01.2025. Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director (HR) presided over the meeting. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU, spearheaded the arguments on this issue. “When the Executives get promotion on completion of every 5 years, why should the Non-Executives be given promotion only after completion of 8 years,” asked the GS, BSNLEU. Further he stated that giving promotions on completion of every 5 years to the Executives and giving promotions to the Non-Executives only on completion of every 8 years, is nothing but giving one type of treatment to the white-skinned people and giving another type of treatment to the black-skinned people. Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director (HR) understood the pain and anguish  of the Non-Executives. He immediately ordered that, a Committee should be formed to settle this issue. Certainly, this is a major breakthrough. BSNLEU heartily thanks the humanitarian approach of Dr.Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director(HR). We will ensure that the discrimination between the No-Executives and the Executives, in the matter of time-bound promotions is settled soon.
