Dear Comrades,
At the outset I convey my heartiest
thanks to all of our dear members for their sincere co-operation which led a
grand success of the 59th National Conference of this Association at
Ordnance Factory Estate, Ambajhari, Nagpur on 17th & 18th
January, 2013. Com. S. K. Vyas was
unable to attend our National Conference
at Nagpur as chief guest due to his acute sickness. On behalf of Vyas
Ji, Com. M. S. Raja, Secretary of the Confederation inaugurated the Opening
Session. Com. Vrigu Bhattacharya of JAC (APEX) level leader has also attended
the prestigious Conference. Both have stressed on accelerating our agitation
program to achieve our common demands of the Central Govt. employees. They also
made appeal to participate in the Nationwide Strike on 20th & 21st
& February, 2013.
Com. S.P. Aich,
Ex-Secretary General of this Association inaugurated the Delegate Session. He
suggested the leaders to continue agitation in uncompromised manner and be
ready to face all the consequences with courage till achieving the goal for the
greater interest of the staff members of DAD.
Most of the
Delegates expressed their feelings to formulate a Comprehensive Transfer Policy
on zonal basis. A considerable number of Delegates delivered that AIDAEA (HQ)
Kolkata is the only organisation in DAD around the country which fight against
the authority in true sense of struggle. Some also intimated that our sister
organisation of Pune propagating bluffs and misleading DAD staffs to enhance
their membership strength dishonestly. Everyone condemns such activities of the
sister organisation when need of the hour is a united movement against the
authority. All the leaders attended the conference assured their utmost efforts
to enhance the membership strength of the organisation.
The list of
Central Executive Committee elected from the 59th National
Conference for next two years is appended hereunder for appraisal.
Membership: As you all
know that ensuing month of April, 2013 is for enrolling new membership or
switching over of membership as per CCS(RSA) Rules, 1993. The circular in this
regard will be issued shortly by CGDA. The same may be viewed or downloaded for
guidance and ready reference from CGDA’s website. All are requested to visit the nearby DAD
offices frequently and apprise them regarding our ‘Charter of Demands’ which is
also now available in our Blog. Zonal leaders should make their team to visit various
stations to enhance Membership strength. Specially, leaders of the Executive
Committee of our Branch Units are requested to be more active & dynamic to
enhance the membership of AIDAEA (HQ) Kolkata in the month of April, 2013.
Formulation of Comprehensive Transfer Policy: This Association has been trying to frame out
a Comprehensive Transfer Policy in DAD for last ten years. Proposal for a Draft
Transfer Policy on zonal basis has been placed by this Association to the CGDA
time and again. But the same could not be materialised till date due to
administrative constraint owing to diversity in both functional and location of
DAD offices around the country. In the last JCM meeting Hon’ble CGDA invited
‘Draft Transfer Policy’ from both the Associations by 31.03.2013. We are once
again reviewing the policy. Before transacting the issue with CGDA the
undersigned desires your opinion and proposal on the subject matter. General
Secretaries of all Branch units as well as CEC members may send their proposal

RESOLUTIONS PASSED IN THE 59TH NATIONAL
CONFERENCE
HELD AT AMBAJHARI FROM 17TH& 18TH JANUARY 2013
HELD AT AMBAJHARI FROM 17TH& 18TH JANUARY 2013
Resolution-1 :The UPA-II Govt. is very
much keen on implementing the Neo-liberal reforms in this country under the
obligation of the US, IMF and the World Bank. Neo-liberal Policies are being
implemented by the rulers of many countries over the world resulting
unprecedented resentments among the workers everywhere. These policies and their perilous results
have led the working class people in movement like Wall Street Occupation in
United States of America, Arab Springs,militant strikes in many countries.
Imperialism with its inherent quest for maximising its profits by drowning millions
of people into poverty and hunger.Ruling classes will not revert from such
anti-people policies and take pro-people measures for their vested
interest. So, it is need of the hour to
educate the employee and worker classes to raise awareness among them on the
issues and unite them for massive movements.
As such this 59th
Conference of AIDAEA is being held at Ambhajari, Nagpur from 17-18th
January 2013 noted the glorious development taken place in the history of
Indian working class movement, wherein the entirety of All the Trade Unions
including INTUC, BMS have come together in fighting the menace of
liberalisation policies of the UPA-II Govt .
The 28th Feb2012 All India Strike by the joint platform of
all trade Unions and Independent federations of PSU, State Govt Employees and
the confederation of CG employees was a great success in comparison to the
earlier period. This 59th
Conference also notes the further development that the all the TUS and all the
federations including Confederation have decided to carry forward the struggle
to higher level to oppose the harmful policy of liberalisation and
privatization and for these they will organise all India Strike action for two
days i.e 20-21st Feb 2013.
This conference while welcoming this decision of the working class,
decides to join and participate in the All India strike action on 20-21st
Feb 2013 to strengthen all such United action of the Indian Working Class under
the banner of Confederation.
This Conference
Congratulates our leadership at various level who are engaged in mobilising
employees to the July 26th 2012 token strike on the demand of 15 points
Charter of demands including 7th CPC
50% merger of DA etc. at the call of confederation of CG employees. This conference also resolves to overcome the
weaknesses organisationally that have not assessed earlier
Resolution-2 :This 59th
Conference of AIDAEA also takes note that several demands of the DAD employees
are still not materialised and the authority has not made any response in spite
of several efforts made sincerely by this Association.
This 59th
Conference of AIDAEA(HQ) Kolkata unanimously resolves for implementation of the
following demands that have already been raised in different JCM Fora.
The demands are
:-
v Implement all
arbitration awards including grant of higher pay scale notionally w.e.f.
01-01-1986 and effectively w.e.f. 01-01-2006.
v Upgrade LDCs by
re-designation them as Audit Assistants and following pay sales to different
cadres as stated below.
v Grant MACP on
departmental hierarchy basis.
v Grant one
increment and Grade pay of Rs.4800 from the day of passing SAS examination.
v Grant three
increments on passing Departmental Confirmatory Examination.
v Step up pay of
Senior Promotes who exhausted ACP in the event of junior drawing more pay and
getting ACP in compliance with apex court judgment.
v Lady employees
should be exempted from outstation transfer except volunteers.
v Ensure posting
at choice/home station after completion of tenure fixed for the station.
v Implement same
scale for promotee and direct recruits.
v Ensure
promotion of clerks to the grade of Auditor after completion of five years’
service and Auditor to the grade of Sr. Auditor after completion of three
years’ service respectively.
v Introduce Zonal
Transfer Policy up to AAO by formulating Comprehensive Transfer Policy for DAD
employees..
v Grant higher
Grade Pay for DEOs.

As
such this conference resolves that all the Branch units of the All India
organisation will observe ‘Badge wearing Programme’ on the aforesaid demands in
the March 2013. The exact date will be
intimated by the HQrs Association.
Resolution-3 :Out of the two
recognised service associations in Defence Accounts Department headed by CGDA
under Min. of Defence, All India Defence Accounts Employees’ Association (HQ),
Kolkata is the one that have been representation in JCM Fora since the very
inception of JCM scheme. In 70s and 80s
this association represented at National Council (JCM-I) and Departmental
Council (JCM-II). However, the same
representation has been denied by the competent authority due to non-formation
of federation comprising of both the recognised Associations serving in DAD
under Min. of Defence. Thus, this
Association has been stripped of the representational authority at National
Level (JCM-I) and Departmental Council (JCM-II), in spite of the fact that this
Association qualifies for representation at those Fora in letter and spirit.
As it is not
mandatory to join any federation to represent at the Departmental Council
(JCM-II) under Min. of Defence and as this Association has the sufficient
membership strength required for the entitlement of one seat at JCM-II, this Association deserves for the allotment
of one seat in JCM-II for restoration of staff representational mechanism at
JCM as per extent Govt. Orders.This 59th National Conference of
AIDAEA Kolkata resolves unanimously to allot one seat in the Departmental
Council (JCM-II) for the overall fulfillment of staff aspiration
This 59th
National Conference also resolves that more than one Federation, other than CDRA
may be allowed to form in JCM Councils consisting of Staff Associations to
maintain balance & equality in JCM as there are the existence of three
other Federations that are enjoining Trade Union Rights. Proper Staff representation exclusively from
Staff Associations may be ensured if the Ministry rises up to the occasion and
allows the same.
Resolution-4 :Many DAD offices
attached to the Army Establishments and DPDOs around the country have no
minimum infrastructure for DAD staff in the offices. Basic amenities viz.
drinking water, toilets, furniture and other essential needs which are supposed
to be provided by the Army Unit are either not available or insufficient to run
an office. Authority should ensure the minimum working condition of those offices.

LESS DEMANDS MORE PRESSURE IS THE NEED OF THE HOUR www.jamosnews.com
ReplyDeleteDear Jamos, We do agree with your opinion. Thanks please - SK Deb Roy, ASG
DeleteSir, Y less demands, ask more demands. At least a minimum will be cleared. More pressure, I agree. There is a need to set up 7th CPC immediately, and for every five years. In market, the prices are very high at a level of 180% but the DA what we are going to get as on 1.1.2013 is 80% only, that too, no merging of DA with basic after reaching 50percent. The so called leaders of CG employees should be more careful, in the next CPC, atleast.
ReplyDeleteIn 6th CPC itself the leaders should have rejected the proposal and asked for merging of DA with basic. From 1.1.2011, the 7th CPC should give effect of P&A increase retrospectively.
Dear Comrade, Sometime focus on major demands become shaded by umbra of minor demands. We feel that demands should be numbered by quality not by quantity. As regard DA I'v 100% consensus with you. We should be more careful in future. Thank you - S.K. Deb Roy, Addl. Sec. Genl. AIDAEA (HQ) Kolkata
