Visit to New Delhi on 17.07.2013 and
18.07.2013
Dear Comrades,
Following the visit of the Secretary General during the
week from 08.07.2013 to 12.07.2013, I also visited Delhi to follow-up various
issues, concerning our Cadre. Although,
the promotion order of Chief Accounts Officer was issued on 28.06.2013 after a
long wait, it was a case of “too little, too late”. This Association fully shares the sense of
frustration, prevailing among the seniors Administrative Officers, who could
not find their luck in this promotion order.
As a natural consequence this Association gives top most priority to
ensure that the next DPC (upto 2013-14) is held at the earliest. At the same time our await for Recruitment
Rule of Administrative Officer and higher Grade Pay was still not over. Different zones were also reporting several
complications in the matter of promotion to Inspector.
With the above background, I, along
with Comrades of Hyderabad, Delhi and Kolkata, visited Delhi on
17.07.2013. We pursued rigorously at HRD
to ensure the All- India Seniority list of Administrative Officers as on
01.01.2010 and 01.04.2010 is prepared quickly.
We coordinated with different zones.
By the time we left Delhi, reports were pending only from a few zones
which are also expected shortly. I appeal to All the Administrative Officers
to be little conscious and alive when it comes to sending reports to Board on
our issues. For any difficulty,
kindly contact us.
The Recruitment Rules of
Administrative officers and Chief Accounts Officer have been approved by DoPT,
UPSC and Law Ministry. Even the
translation part is over. However, the notification is pending for 3 weeks or
so for procedural reasons. Even, the
file on up-gradation of Pay of Administrative Officer, appears to have not been
sent to Department of Expenditure which was discussed with Member (P&V) on 15.05.2013. We tried our bit and submitted fresh
representation on this front.
On 18th, we met Joint
Secretary (Admin.) and conveyed our concerns and demands on all the above
issues. He assured early action on the
part of Board. Problems with promotions
for Inspector, being experienced by zones like Bangalore/Chennai etc. were also discussed. He assured a suitable clarification to zones.
On Cadre Restructuring front it is
gathered that the meeting of the committee of Secretary is yet to take
place. However, the same is now expected
to take place shortly. There is of
course no reason to be over enthusiastic with ongoing Cadre Restructuring
proposal as some more reduction of proposed strength may again take place
before it reaches to Cabinet. The
expected benefits of our cadre does not appear to be clear to us. We have to wait and do the needful at
appropriate time.
I wish to take this opportunity to
convey the deep commitment of this Association to strive relentlessly for
well-beings of our members with due weightage to our senior colleagues. We can only succeed within a time frame, if
our colleagues at the zonal level become a little bit proactive and responsive.
With
regards.
