BHARATIYA BSNL OFFICER'S ASSOCIATION

About Us

BHARATIYA BSNL Officers Association (BBOA) came into existence in BSNL and has shaped its significant role in BSNL. The idea of forming BBOA was mooted on 17th January 2015 - the day when the then Hon'ble Cabinet Minister of Communication Sh. Ravi Shankar Prasad inspired our Patron and Chairman Sh. Rajender Singh Tushir to spread awareness among BSNL employees about the positive steps being taken by Government of India for improving the Telecom Infrastructure of India and inculcation of BSNL in this process to realize the dream of national inclusion of all the citizens of India in every corner of India via telecom services.

BBOA was founded on 3 July 2015. Two important aspects stand out in connection with this:

Formation of BBOA was not the result of split in the existing associations of BSNL, unlike all other associations. Hence, it had the formidable responsibility of building its organizational structure from the grass root level. It started from zero having no association, no membership, no activist (karyakarta), no office and no fund.

On the very first day, it was visualized as an Association whose base-sheet anchors - would be Nationalism, would work as a genuine Association, keeping itself scrupulously away from party politics. This was also unlike other Associations, which were linked to one or the other political party, overtly or otherwise. Rising of BBOA, therefore, can be truly described as watershed in the course of trade union field.

ORGANISATIONAL GROWTH

BBOA in 2015 existed only in the minds of a few determined persons who assembled at New Delhi under the guidance of Shri Rajender Singh Tushir - Accounts Officer in BSNL and a social activist who championed the cause of nationalism. He collected a band of determined workers around him to work for the organization selflessly. The first task was to build a strong organizational structure on the noble principles already declared. Constant tour of the country by Shri Rajender Singh Tushir and the local efforts of his then colleagues resulted in setting up of the Association.

MANIFESTATION OF NATIONALISTIC OUTLOOK

Being nationalistic in outlook, it was but natural that this would be manifested in its activities. National interest was accepted as supreme and the employee's interest to be protected and promoted within its frame work. National Commitment was to guide all negotiations at collective bargaining and promoted within its frame work. Good of the country, the industry and the workers were accepted as the guidelines. Employees are the part of the society and have the obligation to serve it. Consumers' interest was taken as nearest to national interest. Hence, the saffron flag of BBOA, a symbol of sacrifice and service, the age old cultural emblem, a source of inspiration, began to flutter in the trade union field.
