Logo Release function of the Diamond Jubilee Celebration

The Logo of the Diamond Jubilee Celebration of the Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association  was released  at a function held at  Hotel ACC, Mohanpura, Port Blair today (09.11.2013).  Shri Basu Kumar, former Director of Education who was the Chief Guest on the occasion, released the Logo and then handed it over to Shri HL Prasad, Vice President of the Association.  Addressing the gathering, Shri Basu Kumar lauded the historical movements conducted by the Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association in the islands for achieving various demands of the government employees. Recalling the pathetic condition under which the government employees  had to work in the islands  several decades ago, Shri Basu Kumar said it was only due to the coming together of the employees and workers under the leadership of late PKS Prasad, veteran trade union leader of these islands, that the situation improved. However, he called upon the government employees to work with dedication and sincerity to help their co-workers and general public. Referring to the changing trend of people becoming more conscious of their own interests rather than the welfare of the society in the present changing world, Shri Basu Kumar emphasized the need to have dedicated leadership in all walks of life. He called upon the government employees to continue to fight against the injustice in the society.  P.Banerjee and SC Biswas, former Presidents of the Association also addressed the gathering.  The Diamond Jubilee Celebration Logo which was designed by a Member of the Association and a well-known artist of these islands Sree Prakash was appreciated by the gathering.  The Logo was also shown through video presentation.
