To
The Hon’ble
Commissioner,
Navodaya
Vidyalaya Samiti,
Noida,
Gautham Budh Nagar,U.P.
Respected sir,
Sub: Notice for dharna in front of the NVS
Head Quarters New Delhi on
17-12-212,regarding.
This is to humbly submit that the Members of the JAC met you
on 17th September 2012 and discussed various issues like the
extension of Special Allowance to Non-teaching staff, MACPS to teaching staff,
restoration of old Earned Leaves facility to teaching staff, rise of HM/AHM
allowance, appointment of wardens and
some other demands and requested you to take a suitable necessary action at the
earliest. Many of these demands have brought to the notice of the earlier
Commissioners of the Samiti.
The Association is grieved to note that despite a nod from
you during the meeting for an amicable solution of the matters. Unfortunately
no initiative has been taken by the Management for solving the problems and
bringing solace to the industrious staff.
We feel agitated at the lip service to the genuine demands of the staff.
On the other hand the organization is still keen to pressurise the staff for
better academic performance but it is sadly ignoring the fact that the grass
root level conditions in the vidyalayas need urgent attention and it is
violation of human rights to deprive the staff of their personal time and
extract additional work from them.
The apathetic attitude of the Samiti has gone down into the
annals of the history when it overlooked the post retirement security of the
employees by not favouring CCS Pension Scheme for them in the first decade of its existence.
The lives of thousands of staff who have laid the foundation of the Samiti and
worked hard to take the organization to
its present status of peerless excellence is in predicament. We wonder if a
better example is needed to expose the unsympathetic attitude of the Management
towards its employees.
In the backdrop of the above, the Association has no option
but to stage a Mass Dharna of the teaching and non-teaching staff of the
employees from across the country in front of the Headquarters of the Samiti in
Noida from 10.a.m. to 3.00 p.m. on 17th December for pressing the
Management for a suitable action for the solution of the long-pending problems
enumerated in our representation submitted to you on 17-09-12.
Thank you.
Yours
sincerely

DEMANDS OF JAC for STAFF WELFARE
Lr.No.JAC/2012-13/1
Date:
17-09-2012
To
The Hon’ble Commissioner,
Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti,
Noida, Gautham Budh
Nagar,U.P.
Respected sir,
Sub:
Submission of demands for consideration and initiating necessary action – Reg
The teaching and non-teaching staff working in the 585 Navodaya
Vidyalayas across the country have been facing several problems for over two
decades. Distance and time have hampered us to meet you personally to appeal,
discuss and press for an early remedial action. The Association requests you to
take a serious note of the following demands for positive consideration and an
early amicable solution as turning a deaf ear to such genuine issues will
adversely affect the morale of the staff which, in turn,will affect the
functioning of the schools .
Despite our regular demands over the last few years it is sad to note
that the Management has done very little to mitigate the problems of the
staff. Hence, the JAC would like to
bring to its attention the following demands once again for positive
consideration and immediate necessary action.
1. Govt. of India CCS Pension to all employees
joined prior to 1.1.2004: we have brought to the notice of
the Government of India the injustice done to the staff by denying them of the
benefits the CCS pension. The JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE has represented the matter
to all important dignitaries in the present UPA government and it is time once
again to vociferously voice our anguish at the injustice.
2. 10% Special Allowance to Non-Teaching staff: The
JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE decries the cold and discriminatory attitude of the
government of India towards the non-teaching staff in Navodaya Vidyalyas who
have played no less pivotal role in enhancing the reputation of the Samiti as a
premier organization in the field of education with their selfless and
dedicated services. The work load borne by them is more than their counterparts
in KVS and, hence, they deserve the 10% special allowance as much as the
teaching staff.
3 MACPS to teaching staff: Consequent
upon the recommendations and implementation of VI CPC, the
non-teaching
staff have become eligible for getting
three financial up gradations under the MACPS at
intervals of 10,
20 and 30 years of continuous regular service. The JAC demands the
implementation
of the same to the
teaching staff also as the monetary benefits of
senior scales sanctioned on
completion of 12
years of service is very negligible.
4. Creation of PGT posts in Modern
Indian Languages: It is sad to note that the demand of Modern
Indian Language teachers handling +2 in the JNVS across the country for
creation of a PGT post in their respective languages has not been
heeded by the Management so far. This is tantamount to exploitation of the
Modern Indian Language teachers and depriving the students of their right to
choose their mother-tongue as one of the languages for special study at +2
level. Unfotunately the wonderful results the regional language teachers have
been producing year after year have had
no effect on the Management. It is high
time the Samiti put an end to the ill-
treatment by sanctioning a PGT post in Modern Indian Languages and making appointments purely on promotional basis.
This will be the only way of compensating over two decade-long injustice.
5. Appointment of Warden and Matron on
permanent basis: The JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE demands appointment of warden and matron to
assist the House master/House mother and cooperate with the administration in
the successful running of the Residential system. The NVS should waste no time
in the appointment of regular wardens/matrons as promised by the Commissioner
at the beginning of 2009-10 academic year.
6. Defining working hours for all categories of
employees: It does not need any evidence to
prove that the staff of Navodaya Vidyalayas work for longer hours than the ones
defined by Samiti itself. As a result of this, the staff is deprived of
precious personal time and innumerable compensatory leaves and put to untold
stress. A mechanism should be devised to extract qualitative work from the
staff by giving them due space for personal life.
7. Timely promotion to all staff & Conducting the departmental promotion
test yearly: More than half the teaching staff has been
deprived of their timely promotional opportunities because of the laid-back
approach of the Samiti. As a result, the staff has become less enthusiastic
about promotions and accepting challenges. The Samiti has failed to tap the
potential of the staff at the right time which has surely blunted its weaponry.
It is sad but not surprising to note how ill-prepared Samiti is to
implement its own policy decision. While it is expected that the departmental
promotion tests are conducted yearly for the aspiring TGTS, the Samiti has
conducted only two in the last four years, thus dampening their hopes of a
belated promotion. The JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE demands for the revamping of the promotional system to
expedite the promotion of the deserving in-service teaching and non-teaching
staff to strengthen the system and improve the working ambience.
8. Restoration of Earned Leave to
teaching staff / Vacation staff in addition to Half Pay leave: The
JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE demands the restoration of Earned Leaves on full pay as
the teachers are the only employees denied of earned leave by the Central
Government. The Earned Leave facility was granted to the teachers working in
Central Government during Smt Indira Gandhi’s time as a special case in lieu of
20 days half pay leave
9. Weekly off to all categories of
staff: As the staff of Navodaya Vidyalayas work
round the clock on all days of the week in view of residential nature of their
job, they may be granted a regular
weekly off on any convenient day subject to exigencies, so as to enable them to
attend their domestic problems.
11. Honouring court judgements: We
demand that the Samiti should implement the directives given by the CAT and
other courts as regards service matters.
It should honour the working hours and stop exploitation of staff.
12. Stepping up of pay of Seniors with
that of their juniors: The pay scales of Senior TGTs
should be stepped up with juniors in line with the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan
TGTs as they suffer monetary loss in the absence of recruitment in 2006 in all
the regions of the NVS except Shillong..
13. Enhancement
of HM/AHM allowance: The teachers are not happy with the enhancement
of HM/AHM allowance to Rs.800/400 per month as the responsibilities thrust on
them are very demanding. The hike is far less than what is demanded by the
JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE. Hence, the JOINT
ACTION COMMITTEE demands that the HM/AHM allowance should be raised to
Rs.5000/4000.
14. Providing free education to the children of deceased staff: The
JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE requests for providing of free education to the children
of staff who meet with untimely death while in service. Permission may be
granted to such children to have free education from a vidyalaya of their
choice if they are of admissible age. If the child is already admitted, he/she
may be allowed to pursue education till the completion of +2 courses.
15. Increasing the number of House Mothers: At present there are only
two House Mothers for girls’ houses and each of them is expected to look after
over 100 girl wards. The JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE demands for the rationale
distribution of work by appointing two more Housemothers in schools where the
lady teachers are available for a better care of girl students.
16. Providing Health Insurance to the
Staff : It is sad to note that the NVS has not paid much attention to its staff’s health after
retirement . The Samiti should give serious consideration to this issue and
implement a proper health insurance scheme to all its employees to enable them
meet their genuine medical expenses to the fullest after the superanuation.
17. Sanctioning one day compensatory leave
for work on the Gazetted holiday(s): Of late the Samiti has started a
new trend of dishonouring the public/gazetted holidays. The training
programmes, games and sports meets, exhibitions, etc start on gazetted
holidays, thus depriving the staff of their right to avail genuine holidays.
Quite often the staff is also deprived of the gazette holidays as they are
engaged in duties like escorting children for sports events, migration, etc.
While planning a training programme or a sports meet the Samiti should ensure
that the staff is not deprived of its right to enjoy public holidays as they
help them to spare their time for family which is one of the ways of lessening
their stress. The management must sanction one compensatory leave for one
public holiday he has foregone because of engagement with his/her official
work.
18. Implementation of CCE in its true spirit: The
Samiti’s Academic Perspective Plan is a damn evidence of its misinterpretation
of the NCF- 2005 and the CCE programme. While CBSE is going ahead year after
bringing about drastic changes in the teaching-learning and evaluation system,
the implementation of the scheme in the Navodaya Vidyalayas shows that the
Management isn’t ready to free its teachers from the two-decade long shackles
of ‘pass percentages and subject
averages’. The Samiti should abandon its outdated practices forthwith and focus
its attention on what the NCF-2005 envisages. The continuation of the present
practice is sure to rotten the whole system with the Principals and staff left
with no alternative but dilute the evaluation system to please their higher
officers with high percentiles and percentages.
19. Sanctioning
more Group D staff: As the vidyalayas have been steadily growing in size it
is now becoming increasingly difficult for the schools to pay attention to
maintenance, health and hygiene, and safety and security with the existing two
night watchmen and two chowkidar-cum sweepers. The Samiti should make all steps
to sanction 2 more night watchmen and 2 more chowkidar-cum-sweepers in addition
to the present sanctioning.
20. Enhancement of JNVST application
scrutiny charges: The JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE demands for the
enhancement of JNVST scrutiny charges from Rs.1 to Rs.10 in view of the heavy
work load they discharge till the hall-tickets are dispatched and nominal rolls
are re-checked before the exam.
21. Extension of the retirement age
for the teachers: The
JAC further demands for the increase in the retirement age up to 65 for
teachers like all central and state technical university
teachers/professors/IITS.
22. Increasing of Grade
Pay of Computer Operators to Rs.4200: Following the recommendations
made by the V CPC the NVS fixed the pay scale of computer operators working in
ROs and Headquarters at Rs.4000-100-6000 while
it is Rs.5500-175-9000 in CPWD, Maulana Azad National Urdu Open University,
Indira Gandhi National Open University and other Central Government departments.
The qualification of all the computer operators in the Central Government
departments is the same but the work load of computer operators in NVS is more
as they have to handle data compilation, processing, monitoring of all the
sections apart from the computer related correspondence, website maintenance,
etc. Hence, this disparity should kindly
be done away with by granting them the corresponding revised pay scale which is
Rs.9300-34800 with grade pay Rs.4200.
The
JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE requests the Management once again to positively
consider the above demands and redress
the grievances of staff as it would go a long way in boosting their morale and
strengthening the organization.
Thanking you sir,
