Formation DAY

 20, AUGUST

Dear comrades,

11 years ago, at Tambaram in Tamilnadu we met in the national convention on 20th August 2009 and launched this organization at national level to protect the interest of and to fight for the rights of BSNL pensioners. It was a historic decision. It was a historic event.

We have created History.

Till then, nobody talked about BSNL pensioners. Now, no body can ignore BSNL pensioners. We have grown. We have spread all over the countr y. We have achieved pension revision. We have improved the formula. We are struggling for the next pension revision.

I need not describe other achievements. It is known to all of you. Rememebr; nothing has come to us as a grace. We struggled and got them.

Now the nation is passing through a great crisis. It is an extra ordinary situation. Everybody, including BSNL pensioners, are affected by it. And It has affected our normal functioning also. In this extra ordinary situation we must adopt extra ordi­nary methods. Many circle units have conducted virtual meetings. Some circles have planned video conferences at SSA level also on 20th August 2020 to celebrate the anniversary of our formation day.

CHQ calls upon all to use the new technology, hold the video conferences wherever possible, explain what we have done, what we are doing and what is the present situation. Please use the EJournals issued during the last two months. We must advance. We must work. We shall move forward.

 With Greetings
