How can BSNL survive the competition?

Probably Ketan Natubhai, by using the word, "sincerely" has forgotten that according to his own last post such words are used merely for delivering good speach. Anyway, at last he has agreed on the need of sincerity in the BSNL.

About his views on the fear of suspension or punishment for the employees, probably he is not aware that maximum cases of punishments can be found in the BSNL and MTNL as compared to any other organization of the Government of India, but those punishments are given to most of the sincere and honest employees only and not to the corrupt employees. About suspension, most of the employees would prefer to be suspended, as while during the first three months, a suspended employee gets 50% of the pay and after that 75% of his pay without working.

So, what fear of suspension and punishment can do to such employees, if most of the employees are not sincere, honest and dedicated? Further, when out of bias of superiors the existing sincere, honest and dedicated employees are made target to punish them by finding faults in their sincere efforts or held up at promotion, the other employees would not like to work to get their work screened just for finding faults only and not to be rewarded or appreciated.

In my original post I placed only the inside picture, what I had been observing in the working pattern of these telecom giants for the last several decades. Based on several proofs, I have seen several of the sincere employees had been struggling to save their services in these organizations when managements proposed disciplinary action against them without any of their fault, or on account of faults of others.

YES BSNL CAN SURVIVE IN THIS COMPETITION IF AND ONLY IF WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS OUR ORGANIZATION AND WE TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO STOP ALL THIS CORRUPTIVE BUSINESS OF THEIR OFFICERS AND MINISTRY THAN WE CAN SEE THE REAL FUNCTIONING OF IT.NO BODY IS WORKING SINCERELY,NO RECTIFICATION OF FAULT,POOR SERVICES ARE THE SECOND SIDE OF THE COIN OF CORRUPTION MEANS IF THE STAFF WORKS  SINCERELY THERE WILL BE LESS FAULT SO LESSER WILL BE THE BRIBE.WHEN WE STOP GIVING BRIBE TO THEIR EMPLOYEES AND PRESSURING THEM TO WORK WITH THE FEAR OF SUSPENSION IF NOT WORK PROPERLY THEN WE CAN GET FANTASTIC RESULTS.IT IS NEED LES TO EXPLAIN THAT THE BSNL HAVING THE BEST NET WORK AMONG ALL COMPANIES AND THEIR STAFF IS VERY COMPETITIVE AS FAR AS THE KNOWLEDGE IS CONCERN.THE FEAR OF PUNISHMENT IF NOT REFORMING CAN GIVE FANTASTIC RESULT!         

Agreed Narayan,

Yet that is the only solution.

Expecting Government to give autonomy will at best remain a dream as the compulsive disorder of ego massage and never fulfilling hunger for power and money is even more tough to control now. Discipline is easy to loose and very difficult to bring back especially in any management. 

The unions would never allow this to happen. People in Government held organizations get their salaries even without they putting much work only as long as it is held by the Govrenment. They get paid irrespective of whether they perform or not and the organization is making profit or not. The Government in turn can pay only with the tax payer's money.

If allowed to privatize, then most of these non-working / non-performing blokes would have to work to earn their livelihood and this they would oppose vehemently. And the Communists would join with them in support.
