Improvement Project of Science Construction CS

Abstract Science Construction’s business is in planning, developing and building road projects. The major of its clients are municipalities, city governments, and other public sector entities. While the bankruptcy rates for these clients is very low, when economic downturns happen, their ability to pay in a timely fashion also suffers. This leads to businesses such as Science Construction needing to take on additional debt and to find creative methods in order to stay afloat during times of recession. Methods such as selling accounts receivables at discounted rates and taking larger lines of credit through banks and other lending institutions are some of the ways organizations can remain viable when their cash inflows have turned into a trickle. Science Construction is asking the Turkish Courts to postpone their bankruptcy proceedings for a year while they attempt to restructure. Through this, suggestions such as forcing shareholders to pay their debt to the organization, gaining credi...

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited or BSNL; Customer Care!!




Amongst the Government organization underwent divestment and a move towards corporatisaton or privatisation; the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited or BSNL and its subsidiary Calcutta Telephones are faring worst towards providing quality service. So is there customer care! Way back in 2005, when Calcutta Telephones was marketing their newly introduced broad band service with tall promises., I was one to subscribe for that. Though I have never found the promised speed what I pay for; but accepted as a matter of fact in terms of 'Indian standard '. On queries I was always told the fault lies with the cable laid and will improve when cable is changed. Further they added when they switch over to optical fiber the service would improve many folds.

I know not if they ever switched to optical fiber till recently. On 20 th May 2011 , in the evening my broad band connection went out abruptly; the error report showed error no.651; representing disconnection to server. I tried to contact Calcutta Telephones IVR fault booking system with my local telephone exchange i.e 264 2198; booked fault for broad band fault and got a docket number. Next day somebody from exchange rang up and said since the fault lies with the internet , they have nothing to do! He offered to be bit helpful by providing another phone number to contact. I was surprised and asked why doesn’t do that himself! He flatly declared that's not his job! I was really amazed with customer care of Calcutta Telephone and surmised they still manage to survive in the free market situation.

Not being deterred I rang up to another customer care number of BSNL's , that is 1500. More surprise was waiting there for me. In the labyrinth of various numbers in IVR system, when I finally put my faulty broad band's telephone number; the IVR responded ' there is no broad band service registered with this number'! The same IVR, 1500 offered another slot to register numbers for new broad band connections. Considering that they might have overlooked my number while giving me service few years back; why not register it myself! I did that, another surprise! IVR responded this time , my number already is in their records and further they mentioned the date of service given!

As of now , to day it is 22nd May and now it is 1700 hours; being Sunday , there is no hope of attending any fault; my broad band still lies out of order. I am looking for other service with better customer care and quality. Any suggestion? My BSNL or Calcutta Telephones phone number is 2564 6540.

Finally as I conclude this article to post since the BSNL's broadband service has been restored after more than 96 hours on yesterday 23rd May 2011. There was no natural calamity, no Tsunami or earthquake;so they seem to have broken all time record to restore the service!! Thank God!1

CHITTARANJAN IN 50s

Hi, Everybody, sometime some of you keep me asking about my days and time at Chittaranjan. This is natural, after all there are gaps of decades between most of you and me ! This has prompted me with an idea of writing this to share my old good days with those of you who are interested. Indian Railway under the British colonial rule was another group of companies with different British Managements. Since the different railway networks under all of them were used mutually for their own benefits. At places, different railway companies had the facilities of repairing and maintenance of their locomotives and passenger and goods carriages. To name a few, like Anda, Adra, Howrah, Liluah, Mughal sarai, Jhajha , these are they places I mention since they are quite closed by our loving Chittaranjan. The locomotives were imported from Manchester, England and few from Canada and Australia , all under the Union Jack. A good number of railway operational staffs were anglo Indians,...

Jyoti Basu.....The Great Son of Bengal

I don't remember the exact date, but probably it was in the month of August 1991. I was attached as a free lancer to a least know weekly “ The Democratic Forum” ; my fancy to give a try to my journalistic flair was the sole motive with that association. My editor, Late Mr M.L. Shah was the person who was encouraging me. That day he came to my office and asked if I was free in the evening. Fortunately I was and asked him back the reason. He said Mr Jyoti Basu would give a press conference at the press club, Kolkata and if I wish I could attend that. It was a pleasant surprise ; so I readily agreed. In the evening Mr, B.L. Shah of “Dainik Rooplekha” , a Hindi daily from the same stable of my weekly, fetched me from my office to the press club. We were early birds, outside the club , on the lawn people were sitting making circles and chatting with each other. I felt a fish out of water, as none knew me and so I. Turning to my companion, I found he was enjoying my discomfort! ...
