We are going to Puri (Jagannath Puri) in Odisha for the next All India Conference. Odisha comrades have suggested 22-23 September 2018 as probable dates. Ensuing CWC meeting on 16-17, April in Chennai will finalize the dates. Before that, Odisha comrades will form Reception Committee and start the work. Odisha is comparatively a small circle unit with only 1500 members in total. Such a small circle has come forward to host the AIC of the largest organization of BSNL pensioners in India.

It is possible only with the willing involvement of all members in the country. Every member of our Association, Life member or annual member, is requested to donate Rs 50 towards AIC fund. It should be remitted to CHQ by branches. CHQ will hand over the amount so received to the Odisha Reception Committee. Some branches have already remitted the donation. List of donations received up to 20-3-2018 by CHQ is given below:
