Data presentation
After data collection, the role of survey is classification & tabulation of data.
Data is classified in tabulated form for sake of effectiveness. This tabulated
data is then presented in graphical & diagrammatic forms like bar diagram,
column diagram ,pie charts....
Development of hypothesis
Hypothesis is generally considered as the principle instrument in the research
process.
The basic aim of the development of the research hypothesis is to study the
information in the present and then analyse the flows in it and rectify the
situation to gain the advantage in future. Hypothesis made generally enables
the researcher to analyse the population parameters.
A hypothesis is a proposition that attempts to explain a set of facts in a unified
way. It generally forms the basis of experiments designed to establish its
plausibility. Simplicity, elegance, and consistency with previously established
hypotheses or laws are also major factors in determining the acceptance of a
hypothesis. Though a hypothesis can never be proven true (in fact, hypotheses
generally leave some facts unexplained), it can sometimes be verified beyond
reasonable doubt in the context of a particular theoretical approach. A
scientific lawis a hypothesis that is assumed to be universally true.The hypothesis defined must have following characteristics
1. It must be clear and precise
2. It must be capable of being tested
3. It must state the relationship between variable
4. Hypothesis must have limited scope and must be specific
5. It should be simple and understandable and must not have any ambiguity
6. Hypothesis must be consistent with the known facts
7. It must be in accordance with the time allotted for carrying out the research
Analysis of data
Analysis of the data is carried out after classifying the given data and
presenting it in to various forms as discussed above.
The analysis is carried out by defining the suitable hypothesis and applying
various statistical tools as listed below
1. Chi-square test
2. T-test

SUGGESTIONS
From the research study, it has been found out that the Customers are veryparticular about the Quality of the Telecom services and hence they want BSNL
to increase the Quality of BSNL services by providing the Customers with some
Value added services (Plans & schemes).
BSNL may also introduce some sales promotion such as cash discounts;
Quality discounts hence the promotional activities would further strengthen
the market share of the Company.
It seems that audio visual advertising specially new advertises of BSNL on
television plays an important role to come in focus in front of customers, while
outdoor adds like on state transport buses, banners while in case of print
advertising in newspapers also shows good response from customer. So
company can strengthen its presence by Focussing on such types of
advertisements.
Basic strength for BSNL is Availability and trust of the customer on the same
platform company should make efforts to be in leadership position becauseTelecom sector today is very competitive due to presence of strong players &
entry of new players.
Company can also promote performance of Franchisees by giving good
profit margin on sale of products & services which will be helpful to increase
sale as distributor & retailers are close to end customer &they are well aware
of customers requirements & expectations.
BSNL service in the respected area always seems to be successful in winningcustomers trust by providing good service on the same platform company can
grab more market by providing some Value added services, schemes, plans in
rural areas.
Because all the private players are capturing market on the basis of Value
added services & affordability.
BSNL SIM cards should be made available in retailer shop, because after
study it found that when customer want to purchase BSNL SIM then he/she
have to approach BSNL exchange in the area.

Sometime customers have to wait for some days on application for service
but private players provides service on the same day of application, so efforts
should be made to provide service within a day. Because the extensive time lag
between submission of application and receiving of a telephone connection
had made some respondents switch over to other service providers.
College going students and also some professionals switch to other services
due to attractive plans of private players. The attractive plans are like free calls
& mobileinternet played an important role to grab market so BSNL should
focus on such plans to attract the customers.
Today most of the customers are using mobile internet (GPRS/WAP/MMS).
But BSNL is not strong in such plans to attract the customers due to low
internet speed & more charges compared to competitors so these plans should
be made available at affordable rate & good speed.
When customer apply for BSNL broadband service then he/she have to wait
for about 10-15 days to get service so most of the customers specially needy
customers do not prefer BSNL broadband so effortsmust be taken to provide
service as soon as possible.
Most of the customers are not aware of all type of plans & schemes soawareness is low regarding the plans so BSNL should make the efforts to the
larger extent to the customer.
BSNL may reduce the monthly rentals of landline service.
Conclusion:
BSNL being a public sector, in order to thrive and excel, have to understand
about the Customers expectations.
They also have to understand about their competitors and their nuances in
understanding their Customers.
Since Communication industry is a very competitive one it is high time for BSNL
to understand about their Customers in Landline as well as Mobile services.
