From CCA’s Desk

It gives me immense pleasure to release the Annual Report of the O/o

Controller of Communication Accounts, West Bengal Circle for the

financial year 2010-11. The Office has completed more than ten years of its

existence. During this decade all efforts have been made for maintaining

transparency and efficiency in its functioning and periodically come out

with detail reports on its functioning in various areas of activities. The

issue of Annual Reports is one such effort in that direction. Following the

guidelines issued by the DoT Headquarters, we tried our best to present the

reports in an organized way covering all areas of its functions including

updated statistical reports since inception of the office. Besides, attempts

have been made to include detail information pertaining to the circles

under jurisdiction of this office. Further, wherever it is felt desirable,

information and analytical reports have been presented with graphs and

diagrams in a precise way.

I take this opportunity to sincerely express my heartfelt gratitude to

the Officers and staff of this office for extending their sincere cooperation.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the senior officers of DoT for their

valuable guidance, cooperation and encouragement without which the

Annual Report would not have come out in the form as desired.

We invite suggestions, if any, for improvements in the subsequent

Report etc.
