placed before the house
1. Government
Attitude towards Working Class:
Government
of India is pursuing since last 10 years Globalisation, Privatisation,
Liberalisation which are leading to disastrous economic policies and are
adversely resulting extensive job killings, outsourcing leading to exploitation
of working class and unorganized sector of labour class. The anti public sector policies were being
adopted under the dictates of International Monitory Fund and World Bank. The Central Government was trying to sabotage
the trade union activities / rights in many folds. Now the Government may drastically and
vigorously pursue the anti-worker policies.
We needs to review the active participation of our gross root level
leadership for marching towards endless struggles.
2. Pension
Fund Regulatory Development Authority (PFRDA):
The
Government is putting / investing pension fund in the share market / stock
exchange the fund collected from the employees who were recruited on or after
01.01.2004. The very purpose of PFRDA is
to make available the money of workers for stock exchange operations. In other
words, the Government would like to facilitate the flow of hard earned income
of workers into the hands of the foreign and Indian private entrepreneurs for
their mass profits. Hence, no security
of pension to all the employees in the future. The present Government is keen on pushing the pension and insurance
bills, where the Govt. wants to allow 49% foreign investment in the two
financial sector that can tap into long term savings and help fund
infrastructure. The PFRDA bill may come to the Parliament within short time. Therefore, it is the time to get united all
the employees, i.e. Central Government, State Governments, Public Sector
undertaking, teach community and etc, to oppose the pension fund to be put in
share market / stock exchange through private managers.
3. Organise to bring Militancy in the Gross
Root level of Working Class and Reject the Scheme of Joint Consultative
Machinery & CompulsaryArbitration:
The
demands which are remained unsettled and no full-fledged meetings of JCM are
being held periodically, since decades of time. The scheme became totally
defunct. The anomalies arised through
anomaly committees out of the recommendations of 5th CPC and 6th
CPC are remained unimplemented not only in CGWB but elsewhere, too. Arbitration awards remained unimplemented.
Government is not following the provisions of JCM Scheme truly.
It
is, therefore, left to the present leadership whether to remain with defunct
JCM & CA scheme or to organize to bring the militancy in the grass root
level leadership for building up organizational moments to achieve the goals
since the major issues / demands remained unsettled. It was decided to refer
the matter to the Confederation.
4. Parliament
March and Strike Programme:
a)
The Central Trade
Unions, after placing the most pressing demands of the workers highlighted in
the Jail Bharo/ Satyagraha agitation on 8th November, 2011, decided
to observe one day token Strike on 28.02.2012 on the following, demanding
immediate action by the Govt. of India to ensure further as :
1. No contractorisation of Government
services of permanent / perennial nature of payment of wages and benefits to
the contract workers at the same rate as available to the regular workers of
the industry / establishment.
2. Amendment of minimum wages Act to
ensure Universal Coverage irrespective of the schedules and fixation of
statutory minimum wage not less than Rs.10,000/-
3. Remove the ceilings on payment and
eligibility of Bonus, P.F., increase the quantum of gratuity.
4. Assured pension for all.
Confederation of Central Government
Employees also decided to took part into strike in support of the Trade Unions
on common demands in addition to our 14 points Charter. The same was endorsed
by AICGWBEA and our participation was 100% in the Strike.
b) March to Parliament by Central Government Employees on 26th
July, 2012 on 14 points of Charter of Demands.
Confederation of Central Government
Employees & Workers organized March to Parliament on 26th July,
2012 on 14 points of Charter of Demands. 80 delegates of All India CGWB Employees
Association participated in the March to Parliament and it was success.
c) 12.12.2012 – Historic Strike of Confederation.
The Confederation of Central
Government Employees and Workers has given a clarion call for one day token
strike on 12.12.12 demanding immediate formation of the seventh Pay Commission
and Fifteen Point Charter of Demands. The AICGWBEA participation was 100% and
the strike was success in most of the parts in the entire country and made
remarkable.
5. Provisions of automatic upward revision
of all the fixed compensatory Allowances up to 25% whenever D.A. payable on the
revised pay bands goes up by 50%.
Consequent up on the VI CPC recommendations, the
Government has accepted for automatic up ward revision of all the fixed compensatory
Allowances up to 25% whenever the Dearness Allowance payable on the revised pay
bands goes up by 50%. Accordingly the Government has issued Office Memorandums
for all 17 fixed compensatory Allowances with different dates in the year 2008
& 2009. It is reported from the
Branch Committees of field offices of Central Ground Water Board that the DDO’s
are not being made upward revision of above allowances despite having obvious
mention in the aforesaid Office Memorandums of Department of Expenditure,
Ministry of Finance. The CEC took up the
issue with the Central Head Quarters Office and made to issue further
directions to field offices and now the matter settled. Item proposed to be dropped.
6. The Post of Office
Superintendent to be continued with separate Identity in view of its functional
requirement:
On
seeing the functioning in many of the field offices and sections in the Central
Headquarters offices at Central Ground Water Board without Office
Superintendent, the administration become not only weak but shouldering the
responsibility in the middle level supervisory become absent. No guiding factor
in the grass root level is available.
In the
second meeting of the MACP Committee held on 15th September, 2010 in
the DOP&T, it was raised by the Staff side against item No.11 & 47,
stated that in the Railways and other Departments, promotion continues to be
given in the merged pay scales since these have not been functionally merged.
The Official side agreed to consider such cases if taken up by the respective
departments.
Accordingly,
it is demanded that the post of Office Superintendent in Central Ground Water
Board should be allowed to be continued with separate identity in view of its
functional requirements in the better interest of administration and the Board
as well. It has been agreed and took up with Govt. of India. Now, the
Superintendents are allowed to be function as middle level supervisory officer
with separate identity. Therefore, item
proposed to be dropped.
7. Relaxation of
qualification for Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for the post of
Lower Division Clerk:
After
having completed the implementation of the recommendations of VI Central Pay
Commission, the minimum qualification requirement for the post of LDC has
become Senior Secondary School Certificate in place of Metriculation/10th
pass. After having gone through the seniority of erst-while group ‘D’ staff in
all categories that a negligible number of candidates holding senior secondary
school certificate is found available. There-by the posts earmarked for Limited
Departmental Competitive Examination will remain vacant and the candidates
having the qualification of Matriculation will deprive from the promotion for
the post of LDC on appearing the said
Limited Departmental Competitive Examination.
In view
of above, it is submitted before the House of Office Council (JCM), CGWB to
consider and obtain one time relaxation for exempting qualification criteria of
Senior Secondary School Certificate and conduct Limited Departmental
competitive examination on earlier qualification criteria. The Govt. has
conveyed the approval for relaxation of qualification criteria in respect of
the candidate covered through DPC but rejected for the candidates of LDC
examination. The relaxation of qualification criteria for erstwhile group ‘D’
employees for Limited Departmental Competitive Examination should be demanded
in the lines of candidates covered in DPC.
8. Pay fixation of Drivers to
those who were directly placed in the post of Driver Gr.-I on implementation of
their Promotional scheme:
In
persuasion of OM No.22036/1/92-Estt(D) dated 30.11.1993 of DOP&T for
promotional Scheme for Staff Car Drivers, the Central Ground Water Board also
moved a proposal for extending the promotional Scheme for Drivers in CGWB
merging together the Heavy Truck Driver, Motor Truck Driver, Staff Car Driver
into single ordinary grade with interchangeable duties and
responsibilities. Thereafter modalities
of distribution of posts in the ration of 55:25:20 and devise with three graded
structure with the payscale of `950-1500, `1200-1800 and `1320-2040(Revised
to `3050-4900, `4000-6000 & `4500-7000). The Ministry has
conveyed the approval accordingly and the scheme has been brought into
operation in Central Ground Water Board effecting the orders with retrospective
effect since promotions are in-situ and no additional responsibilities are
involved. Since the scheme effected
retrospectively, the most of the Drivers Gr.II have been again promoted in the
same order with their respective effect date for post of Driver Gr.I. They have further been allowed pay fixation
under rule. Whereas the senior most
Drivers who have been promoted directly to the Driver Gr.I have been allowed
pay fixation once which put them under disadvantageous position drawing less
pay than their juniors.
The
matter has been reported as an agenda item in the Office Council (JCM), CGWB
and subsequently in the Departmental Council (JCM), MoWR, but the DOP&T
denied to allow pay fixation twice in the grade of Driver Gr.II and then Gr.I
to those who have been placed directly in the Driver Gr.I post.
In response to the reference to
Geological Survey of India’s proposal in view of Applications filed in the Hon’ble
CAT, Bangalore the DOP&T clarified stating that the promotion scheme for staff Car Drivers framed vide the department
of Personnel OM No.22036/1/92-Estt(D) dated 30th November, 1993, the
Staff Car Drivers of GSI are to be given notional promotion from ordinary Grade
to Gr.II on their becoming eligible and thereafter the 2nd notional
promotion may be given from the date of they become eligible for a promotion to
Gr.I. Their pay will be fixed in terms
of the Rules/ instructions applicable to them for fixation of their pay on each
such notional promotion.
In view
of above, it was demanded that the Drivers of CGWB who got promoted to the post
of Driver Gr.I directly under the above promotion scheme may be allowed pay
fixation twice in the Gr.II and then Gr.I posts in the pay scale of `4000-6000 and
then `4500-7000 respectively. The orders issued for fixation of pay at first in
the Grade Driver Gr.II and then in Grade of Driver Gd.-I. The General Secretaries of Branch Committee
should ensure its implementation. After obtaining report from General
Secretaries on implementation, the item
may proposed to drop.

* Stand merged as proposed by VI CPC in
earlier tabular form.
The VI
CPC vide aforementioned paragraph emphasized that in a layered Organisation, no
justification would exist for retaining more than two levels of technical
supervisors. Accordingly, the above restructuring proposal for Central Ground
water Board is proposed before the House of Office Council (JCM) to consider
the case and approve for implementation. The item was placed in the forum of
Office Council (JCM), CGWB. The CGWB was taken up with the Ministry with
subsequent reminders. The item is still under consideration of the Ministry.
10. Violation of approved Transfer norms.
Agenda
item on the subject has been placed before the House of 88th meeting
of Office Council (JCM), CGWB held on 31.01.2011 quoting recent transfer orders
on promotion which violated the approved transfer norms for Group B, C and D
employees. The said norms which being
followed strictly since last more than 25 years violated. The main object of framing the Transfer Norms
have been narrated in the House. The
official side was appraised the House that an amicable solution be made. But still the administration continues to
violate transfer norms despite assurances in the House of 88th
Office Council (JCM) meeting for amicable solution. Pending transfer requests of employees are
also not being exceeded prior to convene the DPCs of each category.
The
settlement/ agreement made through the process of education and negotiations in
the Office Council (JCM) forum for promoting the TO(D)s in the same place of
posting while interchanging the duties and responsibilities of both the
categories of TO(D) and ADCM, as the sanctioned strength of TO(D) has come down
to a half because of deemed abolition orders
The above settlement made after having thorough debate in the committee
constituted by Central Ground Water Board has been violated through the recent
office order No.118 of 2011 dated 11.02.2011.
The scientific approach of the Association has been rejected by the
Administration of CGWB. After having elaborated discussions, the Chairman
assured that there would be no violation of transfer norms further and they
will be strictly adhered to.
11. Granting financial
upgradation under ACPS to those who have completed 12
year /24 years of Service prior to 01.01.2006 and thereafter.
All the
categories of erstwhile group ‘D’ staff now classified as Multi Tasking Staff
group ‘C’ have been merged together and allowed Grade Pay of ` 1800/- in Pay
Band 5200-20200 PB-I. Major part of the (Group ‘D’) Multi Tasking Staff in CGWB
has been completed 12 years/ 24 years of service, prior to 01-01-2006 and have
been promoted upgraded with different higher pay scales in group ‘D’ category
it self.
On the recommendation of VI CPC
all those Group-D have been merged and clubbed together with same Grade Pay of ` 1800/- in
PB-I. In accordance with the ACPS of August, 1999, the promotions/upgradations
which have been earned earlier but merged together later are eligible for
financial upgradation under the scheme ignoring the earlier promotions and
upgradations.
The ACP
scheme is in-force/ applicable till 31-08-2008. Thereby those erstwhile group
‘D’ staff who have completed 12 and 24 years of service as on 01-01-2006 and
till 31-08-2008 needs to be granted financial upgradation under ACPS to the
Grade Pay of `1900 and ` 2000 as the case may be .
Similarly
the stenographer Gr. III who had been promoted/upgraded under ACPS earlier to
Steno Gr. II and Steno Gr. I, have now virtually got only one promotion/
upgradation under ACPS even on completion of 24 years as the Steno Gr. II and
Gr. I has been merged together and promotion from Gr.II to Gr.I has to be
ignored. Those Steno Gr. II/ Gr. I who have been completed 24 years should also
be awarded 2nd ACPS as on 01-01-2006 and till 31-08-2008 since the
scheme of ACP is in force. Accordingly the cases of Asst./Supdt.,Senior
Surveyor/ Head Surveyor D/Man Gr. I/Gr. II, ForeMan/Asst. Fore Man cases may
also needs to be reviewed and Awarded 2nd financial upgradation
under ACPS w.e.f. 01-01-2006 to till 31-08-2008. The item has been placed in
the Departmental Council (JCM) MoWR as an agenda item. Though the item admitted
later rejected. On approaching the Leader Staff Side, Deptt. Council (JCM),
MoWR the Ministry asked him to submit the fresh proposal again. We may,
therefore, file the petition in the court of law for justice. The House approved to approach the Court of
Law.
12. Outsourcing of Drilling the Exploratory
Wells of all depths:
It was mentioned in the note as
subject captioned that “meeting taken by
the Additional Secretary (WR), MOWR on 19-10-2010. On enquiry, it is given to understand
that no such(separate) meeting was taken by the Additional Secretary and infact
it was the meeting of the Regional Directors of CGWB held on 19-10-2010 at
Bhujal Bhavan which was chaired by the Additional Secretary, MoWR. The subject should have been the meeting of
the Regional Directors, CGWB instead of above.
It was stated in the aforesaid note
that during the meeting taken by the
Additional Secretary(WR) on 19-10-2010, the decision taken was that drilling of
Exploratory Wells of all depths may be Outsourced is noting but mis leading
the facts and manipulating. It is also
understood and informed that no such discussion on drilling of Exploration Wells of all depths be outsourced was
undertaken in the meeting of the Regional Directors held on 19-10-2010 if the
meeting quoted in the aforesaid note is the same. But it is again surprising to state that the
minutes were manipulated making the addition at “ 4. Other Issues” under VII) The drilling of Exploration Wells of all
depths may be outsourced very mildly at the end.
The aforementioned note was typed on
14-12-2010, dispatched on 15-12-2010 and the 17th, 18th
and 19th December are being Holidays and on 20th
December, 2010 was again reminder on the subject matter stating that information inrespect of above is awaited
for urgent compliance to Ministry of Water Resources. Meeting of the Regional Directors was held on
19-10-2010 and the minutes issued on 08-12-2010. One who has tried to manipulate is very
innocent of its repercussions. However,
it must be considered as serious matter for mis-leading and confusing.
This has been brought an agenda
through the forum of Office Council (JCM), CGWB and agreed upon.
But,
after few months again continued to out sourced the drilling of Exploratory
Wells. CGWB has outsourced Aquifer mapping through Wapcos for Rs.79 Crores. The
survey and exploration has been extensively conducted by CGWB, in the past
despite all the relevant data is readily available with CGWB. In this
connection, a “MEMORANDUM” has been submitted to the Hon’ble Minister for Water
Resources for his intervention and to stop outsourcing. No fruitful results
reached yet. We may, therefore, pass a resolution to adopt appropriate
agitational programme for preventing the same.
The House approved the same.
13. Parity of Pay of Assistants / Stenos
between Secretariat and field offices:
The 6th CPC
categorically recommended the parity of Pay between Field offices and
Secretariat in the case of Assistants and Stenographers vide para 3.1.7. and
emphasized the need to bring parity between both vide para 3.1.1, 3.1.3, 3.1.4
and 3.1.5 of their report. The Commission further recommended the upgradation
and merger of posts carring payscale of ` 5000-8000, 5500-9000 with the posts
in the scale of ` 6500-10500 being
upgraded to next higher grade pay of ` 4600 corresponding to the pre revised
scale of ` 7450-11500. The Commission also recommended for the upgradation
of the Pay Scales of Head Clerk/Assistant/Steno Grade II/equivalent carrying
pay Scales of 4500-7000/5000-8000 to 6500-10500. The posts of Superintendent/Asst.Admn
Officer/Private Secretary/equivalent were also recommended for upgradation from
5500-9000 to 6500-10500 vide para 3.1.14 and recommended the merger of hree
pre-revised scales and replaced them in the revised pay structure of grade pay
of ` 4200 in the Pay band PB-2.
Subsequently the government issued
an OM No. F.No.1/12008-IC dated 13.11.2009 granting upgradation of posts which
were in the pre-revised scale of ` 6500-10500 as on 1.1.2006 with Grade Pay of
` 4600 in the Pay band PB-2. The posts
of Assistant/Stenographer of the Secretariat service has thus been replaced
with the Grade Pay of ` 4600 in the PB-2 through an another OM of
Government. It has been extended to the
Assistants of Central Secretariat though they were not placed in the
pre-revised payscale of `6500-10500 as on 01.01.2006. This benefit has not been
extended to the comparable posts of Assistant/Steno and Superintendent (after
the merger) in non-secretariat organizations despite of specific
recommendations of the 6th CPC vide chapter 3.1 Head quarters Organisations in Govt. of India and office staff in
the field organizations for maintaining parity between them.
Further, the Commission stated at para 3.1.6
in their report that “ it has caused a
hiatus between similar placed posts in different Secretariat services because higher pay scale has been
limited to the Assistants belonging CSS only. Assistant working in other Secretariat
organizations like AFHQ,MEA and various other
non-participating ministries/organizations etc have been denied this and stridently demanding similar higher
pay scales from the Government.”
The prime intention of the Commission
undoubtedly is to bring complete parity between similar designated posts of
Assistants/Stenos of the Secretariat and Field Offices. This has been
jeoparadized by not upgrading the posts of Assistant/stenographers of Field
offices at par with that of Assistants and Stenos of Central Secretariat.
Moreover, it is also to mention
that in all the Ministry’s for UDCs (Central Secretarial Staff) who have
completed 5 years service have been placed Rs.4200/- Grade Pay as UDC (NFSG-Non
Functional Selection Grade) based on last 5 years APAR. As per the 6th
CPC recommendation, there should not be any discrimination between Central
Secretariat and Subordinate Office.
In view of the above, extension of
the parity of Pay between the Secretariat Assistants/Stenos and their
counterparts in Field offices w.e.f 1.1.2006 was brought to the notice of
Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers during 24th
National Conference of Confederation held at Kolkata and it included in their
charter of demands.
14. REPLACEMENT OF OLD DRILLING RIGS WITH NEW
RIGS PRIOR TO ITS SURVEY-OFF IN CENTRAL GROUND WATER BOARD.
There are many drilling Rigs which
become obsolete and needs its replacement. The Central Ground Water Board is
proposing to survey off the old drilling rigs some time back. Once these rigs
surveyed off have been approved those rigs can not put in operation, thereby
drilling staff become surplus and drilling activity in the most of places
remain stand still. The drilling activity in the Board become very slow because
of old drilling rigs of 50 years old which have been put in operation.
Therefore the old drilling rigs needs to be surveyed off and its replacement
with new modernized once are essentially required to improve the progress and
efficiency of the drilling operations and Board as a whole. We may therefore pass resolution for
replacement of old drilling Rigs. The
House approved and passed the resolution.
15. STORE KEEPING STAFF OF CENTRAL GROUND
WATER BOARD SHOULD BE BROUGHT AT PAR WITH STORE KEEPING STAFF OF GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY OF INDIA.
The store keeping staff of
Geological Survey of India and the storekeeping staff of Central ground water
Board are entrusted with identical duties and responsibilities. The Geological
Survey of India is the parent Department of Central Ground Water Board. When the staff of Ground Water wing of GSI
merged with CGWB most of the staff has come from GSI and were with same pay
structure. The pay scales and the pattern allowed to the storekeeping staff of
GSI should also needs to be extended to the storekeeping staff of Central
Ground Water board. It is therefore requested to explore the possibilities of
extending pattern and pay structure of GSI to CGWB in respect of Storekeeping
staff. We may, therefore, pass a
resolution to add in the Charter when proposed an agitational programme. The same was approved.
16. Payment of Compensation to
the victims of Road Accident involving Motor Vehicles should be paid
Compensation by the Government and Defence of case also be provided on
Government Expenses:
The
Central Government Motor Vehicles are not been insured due to exemption under
Rules. If the Vehicles insured, the compensation has to be paid by the
concerned Insurance Company without establishing whether Driver is at fault or
otherwise. Since the Government Vehicles are not insured, the damage to the
vehicle on accident and compensation claim on casualty by other party and other
expenses of Court are being recovered from the Driver. Such recoveries are
adversely effecting the family budget of the Driver and his family members. The
Driver is an employee and owner of the Vehicle is Central Government, hence the Master and servant principle needs
to be applied in this case, there by Master should pay all the damages of
Vehicle of his own, other party too and expenses caused due to the road
accident.
In view
of what stated above, it was proposed an agenda item in forum of the House of
Office Council (JCM), CGWB to consider the case, admit for debate and pass the
orders in favour of the Drivers to make the payments required, by the Govt. on
account of road accident. On pursuing the matters, the orders as demanded were
issued but it appears that the General Secretaries of BEC should implement the
same and report to CEC. It is one of
great achievement. The item proposed to drop.
17. Technical
Operators should be kept away from Chowkidar duty.
Since
last few years, about 500 Technical Operator pots in different categories have
been abolished against existing strength of 1500 posts under deemed abolition
orders. Since no chowkidar posts for
drilling site have been sanctioned, the Technical Operators have been entrusted
with the duties of chowkidar on rotational basis in the drilling site. Taking this exception position as advantage,
the divisional authorities are entrusting the Technical Operators for Peon
duty, chowkidar duty and other Group ‘D’ duties in the Base camp bringing them
from rig site/workshop/store. Their
educational qualification and Technical capabilities are being under utilized. Since they have been classified in Group ‘D’
services, they are being exploited very conveniently. It was decided in the
Office Council (JCM) CGWB that the duties of Chowkidar need to be carried out
through outsourcing. Till such time, present practice may be adopted. The
Central Ground Water Board now applying delay tactics as the matter kept
pending without implanting. Despite years of duration passed no filed Office
carried out outsourcing the chowkidar duty at the Rig site. The item proposed to include in the list of
Charter proposed for agitational programme. The House approved the same.
18. Amendments to Central Civil Services
(Revised Pay Rules, 2008 and Upgradation of Workshop Staff / Drilling Staff:
The Government of India vide
notification No. F.No. 1/1/2008-IC, dated 28-07-2009, the Central Civil
Services (RP) Rules, 2008 has been amended with additional entries at No. 4
& 5 under Sl. NO. XIX of section II, part ‘B’ of the first schedule which
relates to workshop staff. The payscale of Master Crafts man (Rs. 4500-7000)
has been considered and modified by Govt. for revision to the payscale of Rs.
5000-8000, corresponding to Pay Band PB-2 and Grade Pay GP 4200/-. Further, it
is stated that the cadre of Highly Skilled (Rs. 4000-6000) workers stands
equally split in a ratio of 50: 50 and redesigned as Highly Skilled Gr. II
(Grade Pay of Rs. 2400 in PB I) and Highly Skilled Gr. I (Grade Pay of Rs. 2800
in PB I). Similarly, the drilling staff being artisans and always treated as
part of workshop staff also should be extended the benefit of additional entries
made in the CCS (RP) Rules,2008.
In view of above, it was demanded
that the modification/amendments to aforesaid CCS (RP) Rules, 2009 in respect
of workshop staff should immediately bring in to force as Master Mechanic,
Mechanic, Assistant Driller-Cum-Mechanic (ADCM) and Driller-Cum-Mechanic (DCM)
in Central Ground Water Board who ere effected with the modification of
aforesaid CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. Accordingly, the above order have been
implemented, arrears have been drawn. But, after having drawn the pay &
allowances for above 18 months, the PAO abruptly stopped revised pension for
retirees. The Director (Admn.) also issued directions to kept abeyance of
earlier orders. The Association sought stay orders through Hon’ble CAT,
Jodhpur. The Hon’ble CAT stayed the directions of kept in obeyance. The item
also being persued through the forum of Deptt. Council (JCM), MoWR.
19. Construction
of Staff Quarters:
The
official side has been agreed to have staff quarters for CGWB employees in the
first instance where GPRA are not in existence.
The Branch Committees at Bhubaneshwar pursued vigorously and achieved to
some extent as they purchased land and constructed boundary wall. Two years earlier, the fund was made
available for construction of staff quarters at Bhubanehswar. This achievement and pride to our
Association. The Branch committees’
efforts in Bhubanehswar in this regard needs to be applauded. Similarly in
other places, the General Secretaries are advised to go for a piece of land
where they fell need of staff quarters and pursue for those constructions. EFC
memo has been issued for construction of staff quarters at Bhubaneshwar for
Rs.10.00 Crores in the present five year plan.
20. MERGER OF FOREMAN & ASSTT. FOREMAN
Amendment of Recruitment Rules:
a) Foreman : The CGWB has been sanctioned 16 posts of Foreman for
16 Divisional Workshops one each.
Because of recent amendment of Recruitment Rules of Foreman for 50%
promotions and 50% by direct recruitment method has come into existence. Out of 50% of direct recruitment 2/3 posts
are being attracted by deemed abolition orders.
A post of Foreman has already been abolished and a Divisional Workshop
is functioning without Foreman heedlessly.
The Assistant Foreman are suffering with stagnation of promotion,
despite having completed 12 years of regular service. Therefore, it was
demanded for merger of Foreman and Asstt. Foreman so as to put one in the
workshop and the other regularly look after drilling sites to condon the delay
of repairing break downs and etc. The merger proposal is approved by DoP&T
and is on final stage.
b)
MERGER of JE & STA(M):
The Junior Engineer used to be promoted to the post of
Assistant Engineer prior to 1996. Though
the posts of STA(M) have come into existence, the Junior Engineer remained
feeder post for promotion to the post of Assistant Engineer. The provisions of feeder posts of Junior
Engineer to the post of Assistant Engineer has been dispenses with and made the
Junior Engineer as feeder post for promotion to the post of STA(M). STA(M) being little in the strength caused
amendment of Recruitment Rules and made 50% direct recruitment and 50%
promotion which resultantly upward movement becomes negligible. Neither STA(M) nor JEs have adequate
promotional avenues. The staff side
therefore, suggested in the forum of Office Council(JCM), CGWB that:
(i)
The JE and STA(M)
both be made together as feeder posts to the post of AE with relevant feeder
service.
(ii)
Non
non-availability of feeder service (eligibility) candidate, the vice versa
STA(M) and JE eligibility criteria can be adopted.
(iii)
STA(M) feeder
service of 3 years and JE + sTA(M) with 8 years’ service and minimum of 1 year
as STA(M) can also be made eligible.
Taking into consideration of total strength of STA(M), JE, Foreman,
Assistant Foreman as feeder category for the post of AE with 100% promotion so
that some improvement for their promotion prospects could be generated.
(iv)
The CGWB sent a
proposal for merging STA(M) with JE and promoted directly to AE as existing in
the past. This will result all the posts
of AE can be filled up through promotion.
The proposal has been agreed to by DOP & T and Recruitment Rules
also approved and are being notified.
(v)
Now the matter is
long pending with the Ministry.
21. Functioning
of Regional Councils under JCM & CA Scheme:
A
period of 9 years have been elapsed, still functioning at the Regional Council
at many places are not functioning in accordance with the provisions of the
Regional Councils. The main motive and
object behind introduction of this council is to make aware of their
jurisdiction for authorities and staff side representative of that particular
Regional and Divisional Offices instead of referring the matters to Central
Headquarters Office. In many places, though it has been inaugurated perhaps,
they are not holding periodical meetings as per the scheme. The Leader Staff Side / Secretary Staff Side
of Regional Council wherever their Regional Councils are in function, wherever
the Regional Council became defunct and the General Secretaries of BECs
wherever their Regional Councils are yet to be set up should initiate for
functioning the Regional Council(JCM) effectively.
22. Exemption from submission of Food Bill
for reimbursement during on Official Tour.
It
was taken up in the 91st Office Council (JCM) and demanded for
exemption from submission of Food Bill for reimbursement with the T.A. claim,
during on Official Tour and to adopt on the line of AG’s Office guidelines by
submitting self certificate. On pursing the matters, the orders as demanded
were issued in the same manner and it is settled. The Item proposed to be dropped.
23. Clubbing of LDC/UDC & Assistant posts
for the purpose of work distribution and posting in the same place on
promotion:
The point was taken up in the agenda
item in the 93rd Office Council (JCM) stating that the above 3
(three) posts were treated as one category for the purpose of work
distributions and their posting. Since, there was shortage of posts in
different categories of Clerical Staff, this practice was adopted to achieve
the required progress not only in carrier progress of Staff but also in entire
establishment and administration matters.
It
is, therefore, demanded to reinstate the practice so that promotion on transfer
for one post to another can be avoided and the nature of duties of the posts
are also to be merged to achieve the targets.
The
matter was discussed in detail, after detailed discussion it was agreed with
condition by the authorities. In this connection a letter has been submitted to
the Chairman, CGWB that a resolution will be adopted in the forthcoming
Biennail National Conference of our Association and also requested to defer the
DPC till such time. The House agreed the
same and passed the resolution.
24. Revision of rates/norms of Camp equipments,
Consumable & non-consumable items and personnel equipments:
The
Point was taken up in the 91st Office Council (JCM) for revision of
rates of Camp equipments, Consumable & non-consumable items and personnel
equipments which was issued in 2009. Based on the demand a committee was
constituted for finalization of the rates by inducting Secretary General as one
of the member in the committee.
As
demanded the orders were issued with revision of rates moderately matching with
the market rate vide letter No.28-06/personal equipment/2012-GC-815 dated 31st
January, 2013. Matter settled. Item proposed to drop.
25. Allowance for Scheduled Tribal Area Allowance:
About fourteen districts in the
State of Jharkhand has been declared/redefined as scheduled areas through a
notification of Legislative Department, Ministry of Law & Justice.
Consequent upon the decision taken by the Government in pursuance of the
recommendations of 6th CPC, the Govt. decided to modify and to bring
the Central Government Employees to be admissible the Scheduled Tribal Area
Allowance. The Ranchi district in the State of Jharkhand is getting covered
within the orbit of aforesaid allowance.
On the above basis it was demanded
in the 91st Office Council (JCM) for implementation for our
Employees of Div.-V & State Unit Office situated at Ranchi. The orders were
issued as demanded for the payment of Scheduled Tribal Area Allowance for them.
Item proposed to be dropped.
26. Court
Cases filed on TO(D), TO(S) & TO(M):
The upgradation of Pay scale of TO(D), TO(S) &
TO(M) has been demanded to Rs.950-1500 (pre-revised prior to 5th
CPC). At par with Khalasis in Railways & Technical Operator post in GSI as
recommended by the 5th CPC. The same was taken up in the Deptt.
Council to settle the anomaly, the same was agreed by the Ministry later it was
rejected by the Govt. This was discussed in the Ambala conference and was
decided to approach the Court of Law. Accordingly, the case has been filed in
the CAT, New Delhi for Justice.
After
elaborate deliberations on the above points presented by the Secretary General,
