To
     All the Principals,
     Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas

     Sub:- Proposed JAC meeting to be held on 19th August, 2012.

Sir/Madam,

     As you know very well the President and Secretary of All India Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Principals’ Forum have retired from service of NVS 2 ½ years back.  We had personally requested many Principals to take the charge of the body, yet no one has come forward to take up the responsibility.

     Lot of efforts have been made to get the pre – 2004 GO I pension  to the emplpoyees of NVS.  It is in this context that the JAC meeting of all the associations of JNVs has been proposed.

     We are trying to constantly think why Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti has not taken stern steps to introduce the GOI pension (Pre- 2004) scheme to the employees in spite of the fact that rules are in favour to us.  There are around 40 positive arguments in favour of us whereas, there is only one point raised by Ministry of Finance that our organization was started (registered) only in 1986 and therefore not entitled for pension scheme.

     Out of many positive arguments the following are worth mentioning.

1.      The memorandum of Association of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti under Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 with the caption Regulations 24 (ii)(i) is read as follows.
“To determine procedures for payment of pension, gratuities or provident  fund of employees of the Society or to their wives, children or other dependents”.
2.      As  per the clause 24 (ii) (i) why is that the procedure for payment of pension was not initiated even after 26 years of the existence of Navodaya VidyalayaSamiti.  The procedure of option for pension should have been circulated by Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti at least when the direct recruitment was formally begun in 1989 in r/o teachers and in 1986 itself in r/o non-teaching staff.
3.      Who has decided to enforce CPF to the employees of NVS?  If a former Director/Commissioner has done so without ascertaining the opinion of the employees , it is clearly an injustice.
4.      There was a meeting of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti executive committee held on 21st June 2000 in which it was decided that separate justification notes for the extension of pensionary benefits  in the New IIMs’ & IITs’ and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti be prepared and submitted.
      In this context it should also be remembered that both the organizations Indian
Institute of Management and Indian Institute of Technologies  were granted old pension scheme  (1972 pension scheme) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti did not furnish the required notes to Ministry of HRD, in accordance with the resolution taken b y the Governing body of NVS on 21st June, 2000.  The responsible Officers have again made a serious error which puts the employees of NVS in a highly embarrassing situation.
5.      As per the memorandum of Association of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti under Regulations 25 it is clearly mentioned the duty of Director/Commissioner as follows:
“It shall be the duty of the Director to see that all decisions taken by the committee are implemented”. The then Director/Commissioner of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and the administrative section of NVS Head quarter should be made answerable for the dereliction of their duties for not preparing the requisite note for extension of pensionary benefits.

     It is beyond the comprehension of any one why Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti has not taken up the matter at the appropriate time.
6.      The Registrar of Indian In statute of Technology, Bombay vide their circular dated 3rd April 1999 had extended an opportunity to their employees governed by CPF scheme to switch over to GPF cum- Gratuity scheme if the employees desire so.
                
                It is with shame we have to look up on the Administration of Navodaya Vidyalaya
           Samiti, that they could not extend  the opportunity to their employees as done by IITs’.

               There are many more substantial reasons to put forth the eligibility of the
           employees who have joined prior to 1-1-2004 to get old pension scheme.
7.      As a matter of fact the cutoff date  between the old pension scheme and new pension scheme itself is 31-12-2003.  This is a struggle for existence of the employees of NVS against  irrational treatment In the issue with regard to pensionary benefits.
8.      Thus a final attempt, JAC meeting is scheduled at Radhakrishna Mandir, Lajpath Nagar, New Delhi on 19th August, 2012 at 3p.m.  Those Principals nearby Delhi/Bhopal etc. are requested to attend the meeting and oblige.
                India got freedom from Britishers after centuries of struggle.  Employees of
           Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas’ will also get their due share if they are ready for
           another  struggle.


           Some may act till they meet obstacles, others  act  in spite of obstacles  and conquer  them; but some actnot, fearing the possibility of some obstacles,that might arise  enroute. 

          With warm regards,

      R. S. NAYAK,                                                      V. L.BALASUBRAMANIAN
