Govt. of India accords approval for creation of 150 posts of teachers

The  Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman and Nicobar Islands  appreciates the decision of the  Ministry of Finance, Govt of India to accord  its approval  for  creation of  150 posts of  teachers of different categories under the Education Department of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Andaman and Nicobar Administration had approached the Govt. of India for getting its approval for creation of 193 posts of different categories of posts in the Education Department as there was shortage of  teachers in various schools  particularly at outstations consequent upon the upgradation of various schools and opening of new schools during the last ten years. The issue was pending with the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Human Resource Development during the last   4 – 5 years.  The Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association was also pursuing this matter with the Govt. of India and A & N Administration.   During his  visit to  Delhi in the second week of  January, 2014, Shri D. Ayyappan, General Secretary of the Association  had personally met  Shri Ratan P. Watal, Secretary (Expenditure) in the Ministry of Finance on 13^th January, 2014 and  urged him to accord the approval for  creation of the  193 posts  of teachers  for the Education Department, the proposal  of which was already pending in the Department of Expenditure.   The Secretary (Expdr) had assured Shri D. Ayyappan that a decision will be taken on the matter without any delay.   The Association feels that with the creation of 150 more posts of teachers,   the quality of education in the rural areas of these islands will further improve.  The Association also expresses its gratitude to Shri D.N. Singh, Secretary-cum-Director of Education, A & N Administration who had shown keen interest to pursue this matter with the Govt. of India.

Confederation Organises Mass Dharna at Jantar Mantar

A Mass Dharna was organized  at Jantar Mantar (Parliament Street), New Delhi today (24.02.2014) by the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers, New Delhi to protest against the negative attitude of the UPA Govt. and Finance Minister Shri P. Chidambaram towards the 15 point charter of demands of the Central Government Employees, including DA merger, Interim Relief, inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks under 7^th CPC, date of effect  of 7^th Central Pay Commission recommendations from 01.01.2014,  etc.  National level leaders of the Confederation participated in the Mass Dharna.  The Mass Dharna was conducted as it was found that even in the Budget (Vote on account) presented by the Finance Minister in Parliament there is no mention about any of the demands of the central government employees.   The Confederation has already decided to intensify the struggles after the general elections on the 15-point charter of demands.
