Respected Sir

Kindly refer to our representations submitted to the Ministry of HRD regarding implementation of GPF Cum Pension Scheme to the employees of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti,.The Joint Action Committee of various Associations/Forum had called on you on 10th August 2009 .Please recall the assurance your good self had given to us that the matter would be examined in detail with reference to the rationale behind the non introduction of GPF Cum Pension Scheme to the employees of NVS in spite of the fact that the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samti was established during 1985-86.The matter was also referred by many Members of Parliament. Yet no decision has been communicated.

I. The following facts justify our genuine demand for implementation of GPF Cum Pension Scheme.
1. While CPF Scheme was introduced in 1991, the employees of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti were not consulted and CPF was thrusted on the employees.
2. When the 4th Pay Commission Report which was accepted by the Govt of India had recommended to give an option to the employees to switch over from CPF to GPF scheme,the opportunity was not bestowed on employees of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti
3. During 1995 when Chief Vigilance Officer of Ministry of HRD requested Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti to implement 1972 CCS Pension rules to the employees, the then officers ignored the direction(Refer:- D.O No C 33011/10/81-Vig dated 17-07-1995,31st August 1995,and even number dated 10th October 1995)
4. When employees of Similar Organizations like Kendriya Vidyalayas,Sainik Schools, Central Tibetan Schools are granted GPF Cum Pension Scheme to the employees who have joined prior to 01-01-2004, our legitimate right of social security of similar Pension Scheme has been denied .
5. Various Parliamentary Committees set up for examining the functioning of Navodaya Vidyalayas like 154th ,178th,198th have strongly recommended to introduce GPF Cum Pension Scheme to employees of NVS.
6. .The Parliamentary Committee Report on Navodaya Vidyalaya by Sri Y N Chathurvedi vehemently criticized the discriminative approach of the Govt by not giving Pension while the same was granted to the similar organizations under the same department.
7. Many institutions under MHRD viz ,IITs,IIMs,National Institute of Open Schools, Institutions under UGC,CBSE,NCERT etc have been granted with GPF Cum Pension Scheme.
8. In the recent order of Ministry of HRD vide letter NoF 4-26/97-UJ (A) dated 10th July 2009 issued by Director (HE) has granted GPF Cum Pension Scheme to the employees of 5 Inter-University Councils including National Assessment and Accreditation Council.
9. Employees of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti who have been representing on the issue for the last 2 decades are frustrated. The peaceful method of observing hunger work day on 5th September 2009 by the employees didn’t bring any change in the attitude of the administration or the Government. The teaching and non teaching staff of 576 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas across the country have been working almost for 18 hours a day without availing Sundays& holidays especially taking care of safety & security and education of students belonging to rural areas in the residential setup.

II. 10% SPECIAL ALLOWANCE TO THE NON-TEACHING STAFF
Consequent upon the recommendations of VI CPC, the teaching staff of Navodaya Vidyalayas have been sanctioned Special Allowance @ 10% of Basic Pay. However, the same has been denied to the non-teaching staff despite our oft-repeated demands. Time and again we brought to the notice of the concerned officers the special working conditions prevailing in the JNVs as a result of the unique residential nature of the vidyalayas and the need for identification of the workload thrust upon the non-teaching staff.

The non-teaching staff is also a part of our Residential System and they equally deserve the allowance granted to teaching staff. Along with the teaching staff, the non-teaching staff also stays on the same campus and discharges their duties right from 5:00 in the morning till 10:30 at night. They too work on all seven days of the week like the teaching staff. The duties of non-teaching are equally essential for the successful running of the Vidyalaya. The services of the teaching and non-teaching, thus, go hand in hand. Depriving the non-teaching staff of the special allowance is unjust. Even the VI CPC has rightly recognized the role played by all the staff in the residential system, not making any difference between the teaching and non-teaching staff.

In the light of the above, we humbly request you to review the decision taken earlier which has ignored the interests of the non-teaching staff and belittled their contribution, and initiate a suitable action in the direction of sanctioning Special Allowance to Non-teaching staff at the earliest.


The Joint Action Committee held at Chandigarh on 01-10-2009 has decided the following activities:-
1. To observe 2nd November to 7th November as Black badge Days to express our resentments by all the employees of 576 JNVs Regional Offices and Head Quarters office of NVS.
2. A mass rally will be held at Jantar Mantar ,New Delhi on 09-11-2009
3. A Token Strike will be observed on 16-11-2009 in all the 576 Vidyalayas, Regional Offices and Head Quarters office of NVS by all the employees including Officers & Principals.

Kindly consider this as a notice given by Joint Action Committee of Employees of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas &Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti

We earnestly hope that the Government and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti will not drag us to a strike situation which we never prefer to and settle our Issues by giving top priority.
This is for your kind information and necessary action.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully

Dear friends,

Sub: Introduction of GPF cum Pension Scheme and 10% special allowance to non-teaching staff of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti.-notice for strike-reg

Ref: F.No.18-1/2009-NVS (Admn) dated: 29.10.2009

You are kindly aware of that the JAC of staff associations of NVS has given notice for observing a token strike on 16-11-2009 at all the JNVs, Regional Offices and head quarters of NVS and observing week long black days from 2-11-2009 to 07-11-2009, besides staging a rally at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on 09-11-2009.

At the back drop of the above notice the NVS administration through JC (Admn) has issued the above referred letter to all THE Deputy commissioners of all the regions, enumerating there in, their so called efforts for the introduction of New Pension Scheme for the all the employees of NVS and advised us not to resort to protest/ strike scheduled next month. They have further recorded in the said letter an element of threat to the all the employees of NVS, that if any employee tries to disrupt the working of JNVs , ROs and Head quarters disciplinary action has to be initiated against them as per rules.

In the same connection we exhort the necessity for united action with doubled vigour and enthusiasm to make the scheduled programme for which the JAC has given a call, a grand and resounding success, duly sending an appropriate signal to the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and Govt of India that we are irrevocable and un-compromisable in the matter of GPF cum Pension Scheme and 10% special allowance to non-teaching staff of Navodaya vidyalaya Samiti.

We need not give any importance to the above referred letters of the NVS. We may recall that the NVS had issued such threatening letters during our National Dharna on 27-02-2008 and 29-12-2008 and we had disregarded the same and exhibited our unflinching resolve to achieve our legitimate and genuine demands.

It is therefore appealed that we shall be more united and face challenges for the successful organization of the protests, Dharna, Rally and token strike and be prepared even for more sacrifices in the days to come, in order to achieve our genuine demands.

Dear friends 04-11-09

Sub:-Organisation of Rally from Ramlila Maidin to Jantar Mantar on 9-11-2009 Regarding

You are all kindly aware of that the Joint Action Committee has given a call to organize Mass Rally at New Delhi on 9-11-2009, in order to press our most legitimate and genuine demands of grant of CCS pension 1972 and 10% special allowance to the non teaching staff.
In the same connection it is brought to the knowledge of all the participants of the proposed rally that :-
1.The Rally will commence at 9.00A.M from Ramlila Maidan New Delhi, reach Jantar Mantar about 12.00 Noon and culminate into public meeting. As the distance involved is about 5kms, all the participants are requested to keep their personal luggage at the place of lodging/railway station/Bus station (cloak rooms) etc.

Hence all the participants are requested to reach Ramlila Maidan by 9.00A.M on 9-11-2009 in large numbers and make the mass rally a grand success

2. It is informed to all the participants of the proposed Rally that some accommodation is provided by AINVSACEC Warangal at Garwal Bhavan, Jhande Wallan, Near Karol bagh, New Delhi for one day on 9-11-2009.

3.It is very heartening to know that the CAT Hyderabad Bench, where an OA Petition was filled by the staff of NVS Hyderabad region, has directed the government of India to review and consider the grant of CCS pension1972 to us on 3-11-2009. It is therefore pertinent to all of us to plunge into action with doubled vigor. By the same order the CAT has ordered for keeping in abeyance the New Pension Scheme orders of NVS for a period of three months from the date of the orders (03-11-09 to 03-02-2010)

PRESS NOTE 04-011-2009

Responding to the call of the Joint Action Committee the teaching and non teaching staff of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas will protest wearing black badges from 2-11-2009 to 7-11-2009 in support of their demands for 1.granting of CCS pension, 2 .10% special allowance to non teaching staff and resolving of their long pending problems. It is to be mentioned that various departments (KVS,Tibetan schools) functioning under Govt. of India are enjoying the CCS pension. The NVS staff have been unjustifiably deprived and denied of the benefits of CCS pension despite the fact that the organization came into existence in 1985. The outstanding discipline and commitment shown by the teaching community has set very high standards in the field of secondary education and elevated the status of NVS. The staff of NVS has appealed to the government of India from time to time from several platforms for CCS Pension but the plea has fallen on deaf ears.

In case of non grant of above demands the staff of JNVs may proceed on indefinite strike in all the vidyalayas.

Now the staff has decided to intensify their struggle against the injustice by waging democratic protests by:-

1. Wearing of black badges from 02.11.2009 to 07.11.2009. All the members are observing protests by wearing black badges through the country.
2. Organizing National Rally on 09.11.09 at New Delhi. Five thousand members from across the country are expected to participate in the Rally.
3. Strike on 16.11.2009 at 580 vidyalayas across the Country and its administrative offices.
Shri.JagdishRai,Shri.L.B.Reddy,President& General Secretary respectively of All India Navodaya Vidyalaya Staff Association (AINVSA) has informed to the press in a press communiqué. The office bearers of AINVSA have deplored the callous and indefferent attitude of the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and govt.of India. Various political leaders are expected to address the rally.

All the State Executive Committees, Central Executive Committee members and Vidyalaya Units
Dear Friends
Sub:-AINVSA CEC salutes those who made strike grand success.regarding.

The AINVSA congratulates all the State Executive Committees, Central Executive Committee members and Vidyalaya Units for their exemplary efforts in making the one day strike on 16.11.2009 demanding sanctioning of CCS Pension 1972 and 10% special allowance to non-teaching staff a resounding success Kashmir to Kanya Kumari and Kutch to Agarthala have shown their solidarity and staged an unreserved protest against the anti welfare stand of the government of India. This event really would go down in the annals of our fight against injustice.

The one day strike literally brought the work in NVS to a halt as all teaching and non-teaching staff joined hands to wage an unprecedented war against over two decade long injustice and discrimination meted to them by denying the benefits of the CCS Pension 1972 and consequently the social security after retirement. The strike was total. At many Vidyalayas and Regional offices striking staff was visited by the Hon`ble MPs, MLAs MLCs and teacher Associations etc, who had extended their support and sympathy for the demands of the staff.

The AINVSA profusely thanks the JAC and other sister organizations which have whole heartedly extended their co-operation and joined hands in launching the historic struggle.

But we believe the struggle has only begun. In the days to come we have to show more resolution and tenacity. Let us fight unflinchingly against any disciplinary action going to be taken by the management, let us not loose hearts and get ready to intensify our struggle.

At this juncture the AINVSA cautions the staff against any hasty and any ill planned actions. Any unplanned action may dent our struggle and cause an irreparable damage to the movement. The JAC is totally united for the cause and take an appropriate decision at an appropriate time. The ANIVSA will never shirk its responsibility and pledges support and solidarity to the united fight.

We congratulate all the staff once again on their active participation in the strike and hopes that the same vigor and tempo is maintained till the realization of our long pending demands.

State executive committees, central executive committee members and Vidyalaya units are requested to dispatch the reports with print media clippings.
With warm greetings
