SAD NEWS: SNEA lost its die-hard Member & BSNL lost its excellent DGM level officer: SNEA CHQ is deeply saddened by the untimely demise of Mrs. Anagha Shaktiprasad Bhosale, DGM Kolhapur BA MH, on 27/11/2024, after a valiant battle with cancer for last four years. She was just 52 years old and is survived with husband, two daughters undergoing higher education.

Her heavenly exist is life time loss to Bhosale Family and great loss BSNL as well as SNEA as she was excellent, fully devoted and most efficient officer of BSNL and strong member and leader of SNEA since joining duties in BSNL.

Mrs. Angha Bhosale was a lifelong and loyal member of SNEA, always committed to the betterment of her peers and the organization. She had a deep empathy for the deprived and needy, which she expressed through her generous actions.

Despite being diagnosed with third-stage stomach cancer, Mrs. Angha Bhosale demonstrated unparalleled strength and resilience. She faced major surgeries and painful chemotherapies with a brave smile and an unwavering spirit, supported by Vipassana and other meditation techniques. Defeating cancer, she returned to BSNL and devoted her "bonus life" to raising cancer awareness among women. She also contributed generously to an NGO researching affordable cancer treatments, leaving a legacy of hope and compassion.

Mrs. Angha Bhosale was an exceptional individual who lived an inspiring life. A graduate of KIT's College of Engineering, Kolhapur, in E &TC, she secured distinction. She earned a Master’s degree in Engineering, as well as advanced degrees in Social Science and Psychology, showcasing her passion for learning and versatility.

Joining BSNL as a JTO, she showcased her brilliance by cracking the UPSC IES twice, a feat she chose to forgo due to personal reasons. Her professional journey in BSNL was illustrious and marked by dedication and excellence. She rendered her services in BSNL Kolhapur as JTO OCB, SDE Internal, and DE Marketing/EB and during her all India soft tenure in Sindhudurg as an AGM Admin, she proved her mettle in every role. On returning to Kolhapur, she was promoted as DGM and shouldered dual responsibilities in Administration and Planning post-VRS with exceptional skill and commitment.

During the devastating 2019 Kolhapur floods, she donated generously to purchase school materials for ZP school students from below the poverty line. Additionally, she contributed 25,000 to BSNL for the critical purchase of optical power meters during a challenging time. It is worth to remember that during entire Covid period she attended the office daily and stayed at frontline boosting the morale of field   staff, she was keen in ensuring safety of all the staff and hygienic workplace for which she pursued to the healthcare authorities to get all our offices sanitized.

Her untimely exist is profound loss and her indomitable spirit, dedication to public service, and selfless contributions to society will continue to inspire us. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

SNEA CHQ conveys deepest condolences to Bhosale Family and prays Almighty for giving them strength to bear this life time loss. May Almighty give Heavenly Abode and Noble Peace for Departed soul of Mrs Angha Bhosale, the great Officer of BSNL.

Restoration of OA level facilities to Recognised and Support Association: AGM SR BSNL CO issued orders for restoration of facility of immunity to eligible OBs of OA level bodies of Recognised Representative Association and Support Association.  Copy<<<>>

In Year 2022, the working of Recognised/Support  Associations was totally disturbed by stopping functioning of associations at OA level and limiting it to only BA level that to be only in Telecom Circles. 

Further, the issue was linked with number of members, eligibility for granting immunity, viz. six month advance membership and becoming OB of association eligible for immunity etc. 

The earlier the Association functioning at level three was allowed at OAs/SSAs, Circle Office in Telecom Circles,  Circle Body at BSNL CO, CNTx North Delhi, District Bodies at BAs of Telecom Districts i.e. Chennai TD and Kolkata TD , District Branches at CGM/GM Offices of Non-Recruiting units, but the same was stopped on the name of restructuring review and while granting facilities to Recognised and Support Associations. 

Thus, on the name of restructuring of erstwhile SSA as OA and BA and administrative changes thereof  with such multiple attempts Recognised Representative Association and Support Association were made non-functional except at BA in Telecom Circle.

This sudden withdrawal of the OA level functioning of existing and well established District Bodies of Recognised Association and SNEA was badly affected as it has existence at every SSA/District all over India. 

This issue was repeatedly raised by SNEA and at first stage we have successfully pursued for removal of stringent conditions of becoming a member one year advance and  election as OB in six month advance of transfer order.

SNEA was pursuing this issue of restoration of OA level Bodies and grant of immunity for the last two years, but it was not agreed by then CMD BSNL.

Rather, while approving the recognition of SNEA as Majority Association with 52% votes in third MV, in a backdoor attempt and without any formal changes in REA rules, the functioning of Recognised and Support Associations was limited only up to BA level.

By taking note of total disturbance of Association functioning, SNEA has taken up matter for restoration of OA level bodies and vigorously pursued it with all. Copy<<<>>

Recently we have successfully pursued the restoration of OA level organisations , but there was confusion on restoration of facilities of OA level Bodies and mainly the issue of grant of immunity was disputed by some of BAs/Circles and there was need of corrections. .

Accordingly, the orders for restoration of OA level bodies  were issued and uncertainty continued on granting immunity to eligible OBs, functioning of Circle Office branch, functioning of Non-Recruiting branches and recently SR cell has issued clarification , but same on it.

With this order, BA level District bodies will now exist at BA HQ in Telecom Circles as well as Non-Recruiting Circles and Circle Office, Corporate Office and all OAs of Telecom Circles and immunity will be available to the eligible OBs of these District Bodies depending on membership strength.

SNEA is further pursuing the restoration of Circle bodies at BSNL Corporate office and CNTx North as there is no existence of Telecom Circle in Delhi area and both the units have separate functioning.    

The restoration of Association functioning at OA level was one of assurances given by SNEA during 3rd MV Campaign and it is now fulfilled.

This will strengthen the functioning of Recognised and Support Association at OA level; further association leaders can continue to work and raise the voice fearlessly as they will continue to be protected from victimisation from pick and choose transfers.

SNEA conveys sincere thanks and gratitude to Shri. A.  Robert J Ravi ji, CMD BSNL, Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani ji, Director HR BSNL for giving kind consideration to requests and pursuation by SNEA. We also convey thanks to Mrs. Anita Johri, PGM Pers & SR/RSTG BSNL CO for vital role in overall decision on this issue, Mrs. Asha Bawalia,  DGM SR BSNL CO and team of officers in SR cell for the initiatives and resolution of this issue and restoration of functioning of Recognised and Support Association in BSNL.

With such a positive gesture from the BSNL management, the Staff Relations between Recognised/Support Associations and Management are enhanced and we are hopeful for resolution of pending HR issues one by one. Let us hope for the best.
