NGOs' Association expresses concern & anguish on the introduction of PFRDA Bill in Parliament
News Item
The Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman and Nicobar Islands expresses its deep concern and anguish that the Central Government has yesterday(24.03.2011) introduced the Pension Fund Regulatory & Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill once again in the Parliament. The bill that was introduced earlier by the then Finance Minister Shri P. Chidambaram, could not muster sufficient support to get it enacted as the Left parties Parties had opposed it. Even though the enactment could not be made, the Government through executive order had converted the statutory defined benefit Pension scheme which is in existence for decades in the case of Government employees into a contributory pension scheme.
The Association will carry out intensive campaign to bring home the harmful impact the bill will bring about on the existing pensionary benefits of the Government employees. Besides, the funds accumulated from the contributions made by the employees as stipulated in the New Contributory Pension Scheme would be diverted to stock market for investment. Since the Government is to contribute equal amount as is being made by the employees, the new contributory pension scheme would be an unbearable drag on the exchequer and the sole beneficiary would be the big corporate houses.

SATB expresses concern over the issue of increasing the teaching hours for teachers
NEWS ITEM
The South Andaman Teachers’ Branch of the Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association has called upon the authorities in the Administration not to increase the working hours of teachers working under the Education Department. In a resolution adopted in the recently held Annual General Body Meeting of the South Andaman Teachers’ Branch, the Association noted with grave concern and anguish that the authorities in the Education Department are trying unilaterally to increase the working hours of the teachers from 6 hours to 7 ½ hours in the guise of implementing the Right of Children to Free & Compulsory Education Act, 2009. The meeting observed that the Directorate of Education is trying to increase the teaching hours without taking the service associations functioning among the teachers into confidence. The meeting noted that Andaman Nicobar Islands is the first state/union territory to increase the working hours of teachers on the basis of the provisions in the Right to Education Act, 2009. The meeting observed that while the Association is not against implementing the said legislation which is an historical step towards universalisation of education, various provisions of this Act are yet to be implemented in the
The General Body meeting resolved to demand the authorities in the Administration and Education Department not to increase the working hours of the teachers till all other provisions of the Right to Education Act, 2009 like providing infrastructural facilities, reducing teacher-student ratio etc., are implemented in the islands
