09-10-2025 3rd Death Anniversary of Com. PVC.
Dear Comrades,
It was on 09th October, 2022, we lost our beloved leader Com. P V Chandrasekharan, fondly called PVC.
Com. PVC started his public life during his school days itself associating with the progressive students union. After his appointment as a Telephone Operator at Alappuzha in 1963, he joined NFPTE and became an avtive worker. After his transfer to Kannur in 1965, he was elected Branch Secretary of EIII Union. During this period he successfully led Valapattanam local agitation and the historic one day Strike of 19th September, 1968. The unprecedented victimisation was faced valiantly by Com. PVC.
In 1981, he took over the mantle of E-III Kerala Circle Secretary from Com. V A N Namboodiri. Within a short period, Com. PVC became dear to all with his peculiar character and pleasing behaviour. He effectively worked as the Vice Chairman of the strong Kerala Coordinating Committee of P&T Unions. He was one of the key leaders of the progressive section of P& T Unions who resisted the rivisionist policies of Com. O. P. Gupta.
He also played a significant role in the formation of BSNL Employees Union in 2001 and took up the responsibility of Circle President of Kerala and continued till his retirement in 2003.
He was one of the main architects in forming AIBDPA in 2009 and continued as it's Patron, guiding and leading the organisation in the right path of struggles.
The enormous contributions of Com. PVC to our beloved AIBDPA shall ever be remembered.
Let us observe the day in a befitting manner. One floor of the P&T House in Thiruvananthapuram is being named, PVC Memorial Hall on 09-10-2025.
Red Salute Com. PVC.
K G Jayaraj
General Secretary.
