NEWS FROM CHQ ON BSNL FORMATION DAY & DAY FOR OLDER PERSONS

IDA INCREASE

01/10

Shri K G B Pillai, AGM retired from Alleppey SSA has sent to us a Table showing the increase of IDA every quarter from 2001 to 2015.

An interesting factor is that the IDA increase has been the highest in the last quarter 
(October - December) of every year (except 2010).

BSNL DAY TOO.....

01/10

OCTOBER 1 HAPPENS TO BE THE FORMATION DAY OF BSNL.

NOT ONLY THE DAY FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE.

BUT, ELDERLY PERSONS WHO GAVE THEIR BLOOD AND SWEAT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TELECOM INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA, WHICH GAVE ALL THE FORTUNES TO BSNL, ITS MANAGEMENT AND THE STAFF ARE THE MOST NEGLECTED LOT.

BENEFIT OF 78.2% IDA IS NOT YET GIVEN TO THEM. 

MEDICAL BILLS SUBMITTED BY BSNL PENSIONERS ARE DELAYED OR REJECTED ON FLIMSY GROUNDS,

THEIR ANOMALY CASES ARE NOT SETTLED EVEN AFTER 14 YEARS.

ANY REPRESENTATION FROM PENSIONERS ARE THROWN TO THE WASTEPAPER BASKETS.

THIS IS HOW BSNL IS TREATING THE ELDERLY PERSONS.

OCTOBER 1: International Day of Older Persons

01/10

IN 1991 THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION (UNO) IDENTIFIED OCTOBER 1

AS THE DAY FOR OLDER PERSONS. EVERY YEAR IT IS OBSERVED WITH A NEW THEME.

The 2015 celebration of the 25th anniversary of International Day of Older Persons (IDOP), in anticipation of the third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) to be held in 2016, will focus not only on the impact of the new urban environment on older persons, but also the impact of older persons on the new urban environment.
