categories of teachers - regarding.

--------------

Sir,

I am to refer to the memorandum submitted to Your Excellency on 5^th September, 2010 by the South Andaman Teachers’ Branch of this Association which contained among other things the demand for grant of upgraded Grade Pay under Part B of the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 to the left-out categories of teaching and non-teaching staff working under the Education Department of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Ever since the implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, this Association has been approaching the A & N Administration to grant the upgraded Grade Pay under Part B to all the teaching and non-teaching staff like Headmaster (Middle), Headmaster (Primary), Physical Education Teacher, PSRT, Librarian, Music Teacher, Craft Instructor, etc.

It is submitted that the above-categories of teachers working in the union territory of Puducherry, GNCT of Delhi, Kendriya Vidyalayas, Novodaya Vidyalayas, Railway Schools, etc. have already been granted the upgraded Grade Pay. Copies of the orders issued by the above governments and organizations have already been submitted to the Administration. Copies of the same are submitted herewith for the kind reference of Your Excellency.

Since the teachers working in Puducherry, Delhi and various organizations under the central government have been given the upgraded Grade Pay under Part B, there is no justification to deny the same to the teachers working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration.

I would, therefore, request Your Excellency to look into this matter personally and take appropriate steps to extend the upgraded Grade Pay under Part B of the CCS (RP) Rules, 2008 to all the left-out categories of teachers working under the Education Department of Andaman and Nicobar Administration and, thus, render justice to them.

Yours faithfully,

(D. Ayyappan)

General Secretary
