Upgradation of the skills of the Non-Executive employees.

Existing technologies are becoming out dated. For example, copper cable based landline and broadband technologies have got phased out. The TTs and ATTs, so far working in this segment, need to be redeployed in other segments, for which upgradation of skill through training, is necessary. BSNLEU has demanded that, the TTs and ATTs should be given training in computer operations and also in the provisioning and maintenance of FTTH connections. The Management responded positively to this issue and has given certain proposals for the upgradation of skills of the TTs and ATTs. The proposals are good. At the same time, other Non-Executive cadres like JEs and Sr.TOAs are also required to be trained for the upgradation of their skills. Hence, BSNLEU has given a set of proposals for the upgradation of the skills of ATTs, TTs, Sr.TOAs and JEs. BSNLEU has also requested the Management  to arrange a discussion on the proposals given by the Management and also on the note submitted by BSNLEU. On 28^th November, 2024, Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, discussed this issue with Shri S.P. Singh, PGM(Rectt. & Trng.) and demanded early discussion on the subject. The PGM (Rectt. & Trng.) responded positively and assured of an early discussion on the subject. Training and retraining of the Non-Executives should be viewed as an important strategy to avoid the Non-Executives getting redundant and to make them fit to work in the areas of new technologies. The circle secretaries and CHQ office bearers are requested to go through the proposals given by the Management and also the note submitted by BSNLEU and to give their response to the CHQ.
