Queries column

Q. Some Executive Associations have addressed Hon’ble PM to induct ‘outside talents’ in to BSNL board and Business line magazine has also endorsed the same view in its editorial?

A. There is a saying that, Beware of your demand, you may get it. Sometimes when we ask for shoes they will revete us with ‘horse shoe’. Recently PMO reviewed the position of financial as well market share out BSNL and suggested 10% IPO instead of incentives or subsidies as was expected. FNTO view is plenty of talents available in BSNL itself. Only necessary will and a sense of belonging are required for its leadership and workers. Some expertise in marketing would be enough.
