Chartered of Demands
Respected Sir,
As the new academic year commences you can be once again proud of our
hard work and commitment for having produced the best academic result in the
previous year and held the reputation of NVS very high.
But you will also accept that the health status of JNV staff who have
been toiling hard over the years has deteriorated terribly. Many have left us
forever in grief .Many have contracted illness causing huge financial burden to
their families. Yet NVS authorities have not opened their eyes to us.
NVS has not shown any concern to our demands yet. In the case of
implementation of CCS Pension scheme under rule 1972 and other Genuine
demands. NVS has cheated 18,000 staff and their families. Today we have no
other option but to resume our protest activities with renewed spirit, vigor
and confidence. In the previous year AINVSA had made several attempts through
Ministers and MPs to press our demands. But NVS continues to behave as our
enemies. Their reluctance to implement staff welfare schemes is quite
appalling.
In this connection, AINVSA made extensive discussions with Principals,
Teachers and non-teaching staff all over India regarding beginning of protest
activities during the academic year 2011-12.& 13 We have received highly
positive and enthusiastic support from all.
As per the
resolutions taken at the Central Executive Committee meeting of All India
Navodaya Vidyalayas Staff Association, we would like to bring to your kind
notice that the following grievances of the staff of NVS have not been resolved
as yet in spite of our repeated requests. Hence we implore your good self to
take up these grievances for early redressal in our favour.
Our Major demands
1. Implementation of CCS Pension Scheme rule 1972 for all NVS Employees: The entire staff community is greatly aggrieved at
the fact that there has been no positive sign with regard to the implementation
of GPF Pension Scheme rule 1972 for those who joined before 1.1.2004.
2. The parliamentary
standing Committees 154,164,184 and 198 have strongly recommended the
introduction of GOI Pension to employees
of NVS and recorded its surprise and ehemence in discriminating NVS staff while
staff of KVS,NIOS,Central Tibetan Schools etc have been granted GOI Pension
scheme.
3.
Sanction of 10% Special
Allowance to non-teaching staff: 10% special allowance, which is now given
only to the Teaching staff may be given to all the employees of the NVS.
4.
Recognition of
AINVSA: To declare the recognition
of AINVSA, though we have submitted near 8000 nos. of membership within the
stipulated time before NVS. Take
disciplinary action against the officials those who worked against
giving the recognition of AINVSA.
5. Increasing the retirement age of NVS Teachers up to 65 years :
Like Colleges, Medical Colleges and
University Teachers, the age of retirement of NVS Teachers should be extended
from 60 to 65 years.
6. Scrap Master On Duty system: The
purpose of MOD has become redundant as there are two administrators, Principal
and Vice Principal in each Vidyalaya to look after the functioning of the
School. For all other administrative
management, various committees such as M&R Committee, CCA Committee,
Purchase Committee, Mess Committee, etc. are constituted with teaching staff as
its members and that the system functions smoothly and effectively. Therefore,
it is requested that MOD duty system may henceforth be scrapped.
7. Enhancement of House Master/Associate House Master’s Allowance: As we have requested earlier kindly take
necessary steps to enhance HM/AHM Allowances as Rs.5000/- and Rs.2500/-
respectively.
8. Appointment of permanent Wardens and Matron posts: Since the teaching staff
is already overburdened with academic and co-curricular activities, kindly take
necessary steps towards appointment of four permanent wardens for boys’ hostels
and make the post of two matrons permanent.
9. NVS doesn’t have any power to freeze the CCL up to 30/9/11: It is strongly felt that NVS is neglecting the
rules and regulations of Govt. of India. For example- NVS has frozen the rules
of the CCL and NVS Hyderabad Region has issued directions to the Principals not
to sanction CCL up to 30th September 2011. It is brought your kind
attention that NVS doesn’t have any power to freeze the Order of the Govt. of
India. Necessary action may be initiated against those officials whose
directions are an over reach to the GOI orders.
10. Higher
salary: Navodaya Vidyalaya employees are forced to work more than 18
hours per day. So implement higher pay
scale not less than double salary to Navodaya Vidyalaya staff.
11. Transparent transfer policy: To Develop
& implement proper, transparent transfer policy to all the categories of
employees of NVS yearly. Transfer must be on the basis of seniority. It is
strongly felt that there is no need for a North east transfer policy. If only
NVS make all initial appointments only for north east and other hard difficult
stations, the need to transfer staff at a later stage when their family
commitments are huge and the staff’s health state is not sound would reduce to
a large extent. However, AINVSA supports 3 year tenure to North east and hard
& difficult stations to all its staff once in their service. Moreover all
such staff who are posted to North east and hard & difficult stations must
be transferred to their choice place with all transfer benefits. It is also
felt that all staff should get a chance to work for a tenure of at least three
years at their home district once in their service.
12. Publish the rank & Promotion: To declare and publish the rank list of
different promotion tests conducted by NVS for different posts. Appointment on promotion basis from the rank
list should be made transparent. The publication of rank lists will ward off
the doubts among the minds of the candidates.75% of all the posts should be
filled by appointing departmental candidates. Direct recruitment may be restricted
to 25% wherever possible.
13. Senior grade & selection grade: Take steps to grant senior grade &
selection grade to the different categories of employees immediately after the
completion of service as per the rule of Govt. of India. Also fix 8 years of
service for senior grade and 16 years of service for selection grade
respectively. No staff should be denied of their legitimate due of Grade for
non completion of 21 days training.
14. Higher Post (PGTs) & Optional Course: Higher study option may be given to subjects
like Regional Language, Art, Music, Work experience and PET; Optional courses
may be started at least in one Vidyalaya in each state.
15. Reintroduction of EL: As per the Govt. orders half pay leave has been
reintroduced for the teaching staff of NVS. It should be in addition of E.L. and
not replacement. So E.L may again be reintroduced along with H.P.L.
16. ACP/Senior Scale: Even after completion of 12 Years regular service before the
implementation of 6th Pay Commission and 10 Year service after
implementation of 6th Pay Commission several employees have not been
given ACP/Senior scale. Further those who received senior scale have not
received their arrears as yet. It is also brought to your kind notice that
teachers who get the senior scale do not get financial benefit as in the case
of MACP Scheme. Hence similar benefits may be allowed to teaching staff also so
that they too get the notional increment.
17. Rectification of pay anomalies: Pay anomalies of staff remain unresolved. Since
anomalies are considered subject wise within the region it is our request that
such restrictions may be avoided so that the pay scales of all PGTs/TGTs may be
considered for comparison for the purpose of rectification.
18. Centralized purchase. The system of
centralized purchasing of Computers, Uniform Clothes, Library Books, bags etc. should
be stopped. The things purchased through this system are not of good quality.
To stop the corruption, stop the practice of centralized purchasing.
19. Enhance Mess Fund: It is everybody’s
knowledge that the prices of all food materials are very high. Even the allotted
funds are not sufficient to meet the food requirements of the students. So the
present system of meeting the salary of casual workers from the fund of
children should be stopped. NVS has to sanction fund to give salary to the
temporary workers in the mess. The fund allotted
to the children should be enhanced to Rs. 2500 per month.
20. Wages, PF and Medical Allowance to mess workers temporary casual Labors: The
mess workers and other temporary casual workers doing full time work may be
provided with the service benefits recognized by different state governments
such as Minimum Wages, PF and Medical Allowance .Take immediate steps for the
direct recruitment of permanent workers in the Mess & Garden.
21. Navodaya Homes: Open Navodaya Homes in
each state and protect the poor Navodaya retired employees in such homes.
22. Discussion with service organizations: The
introduction of academic reforms and any important policy matters should be
made transparent. For that in the beginning of every academic year hold
consultations with the representatives of service organizations. The employees
have not been given any opportunity to be apart of such important matters
though they are the staff who know the ground reality and also will ultimately
work hard to implement the same at the grass root level. Hence implementation
of unilateral reforms which are introduced without proper discussions is not in
the interest of the welfare of students and staff of NVS.
23. Overtime Allowance: To implement
overtime Allowance to the employees those who are engaged more than 8 Hrs Duty for Non teaching staff
and those teachers who work beyond the stipulated time schedule as given by NVS
(07.15 AM to 01.40 PM). Take corrective steps against the Principals those who
are imposing unnecessary duties to the teachers.
24. Stop Extra Classes: Stopping early
Morning & after 9 PM extra classes with immediate effect .
25. Follow the CBSE Norms: Implementation
of CCE in NVS is very unrealistic & still evaluate children based on marks.
Sprit of CCE is to be understood & to be implemented strictly as per CBSE
guidelines. Follow the CBSE Norms for the implementation of CCE and extend
training to all the teachers to implement CCE. It may be noted that, many schools
have earmarked afternoon and evening supervised study for CCE activity. This
has greatly stressed the teachers as well as students. Burdening children with
a lot of written work in the name of CCE assessment is to be looked into
seriously. It is better that the NVS authorities who implement CCE in the
Vidyalayas do it after a thorough understanding of the same.
26. Court cases against staff: NVS may
disclose the total amount which it spends every year for court cases against
staff. The NVS officials who are responsible for unnecessary cases may be penalized.
It may also be noted that the regular practice of all Govt organizations to
accept the verdicts of the lower courts and not moving the higher courts for
further appeal in individual cases may be followed .The public money shouldn’t
be wasted in the furtherance of all such cases in higher courts, in a
revengeful attitude towards the staff who file such cases.
27. Anomalies: To
settle the different Anomalies existing in different categories (Principal,
Vice principal PGTs, TGTs …etc, and avoid the subject wise categories) of
employees with immediate effect.
28. Class IV employees should be promoted
to the vacant posts of LDCs and Storekeepers.
29. Amendment in Promotion Policy from TGTs to PGTs: It has been found that some
anomalies are existing in promotion policy. The TGTs are being promoted to PGTs
subject to fulfillment of requisite qualification. It is very strange that TGT (SS)
are not being promoted to the post of PGT (Economics) even though they are
qualified Master Degree holders in Economics. It would be justifiable to allow
them for the post of PGT Economics. It is notable that in sister organization
like KVS the TGT’s (SS) is being given promotion to the post of PGT Economics
if they have master degree in Economics. Moreover a good number of posts of
PGTs are vacant but the promotion process is very slow. We would like to
request to accelerate the promotion process in all subjects.
30. Principal post: For the selection of
principal post in JNVs, restrict 8 years experience as PGTs of JNVs
31. No age bar: For direct recruitment for various posts in
NVS, consider no age bar to the
employees of the NVS like KVS
32. Teaching allowance: Sanction teaching
allowance to Principal and all teaching staff.
33. Children education allowance: On the
basis of the norms of Govt. of India, grand the children education allowance to
the employees of NVS. The parents, whose children are studying in Navodaya
should get the stipulated allowance as sanctioned by Govt of India.
34. Sanctions of Post of TGT Computer Science : Presently FCSAs are
appointed on contract basis who also carry out teaching of lower class students
Vidyalayas are facing several inconveniences. Appointment of TGT computer
science would solve such problems.
35. Promotion of Group D Staff to Group C. As yet group D Staff have not been promoted
in group C despite that several of them have required qualification. NVS has
designed training for Group D employees and upgrade their ability for promoting
them as Group C employees. Many of them have already taken the required
training. But still no step has been taken to promote them. Hence we request
you to take necessary steps and promote Group D employees as Group C employees.
36. Compensation for working on Sundays, IInd Saturdays and other National holidays: As the JNV staff is
compelled to work on Sundays IInd
Saturdays and National holidays owing to the special residential nature of the
Vidyalayas it would be more appropriate to grant compensatory off for the same.
Hence we request your kind self to take positive step in granting compensatory Special
casual Leave or weekly off for those who work on Sundays and other holidays.
37. License Fee for non-teaching staff: Since non-teaching staff are also
contributing to the proper functioning of the residential system of the Vidyalayas.
License fee to be paid by them in respect of their quarters may kindly be
avoided.
38. Appointment of three Lab attendants: Though it was informed by the Ex Commissioner
of NVS that appointment of three Lab attendants for the three labs would be
done, no action has been taken in this regard. Hence a favourable action must
be taken in this regard at the earliest.
39. Stop contract post: Takes steps for
direct and permanent appointment in the place of vacant and contract posts.
40. Uniform time Schedule: To Form Common
and uniform time table and to implement the same to all the Vidyalayas.
41. MP Hall & Play Ground: Construct
Multi Purpose Hall (MP Hall) and Play ground in all the Vidyalayas.
42. Welfare schemes: To implement welfare
Societies and different welfare schemes of Govt. of India
43. Job offer on compassionate grounds: Extend an opportunity to one of the members
of the families of those NVS staff who die while on service a job on
compassionate ground, suiting their qualification.
44. Special Duty Allowance: Extend SDA to all those staff who work in North
East and all hard & difficult stations.
45. Increase CL: Existing number of CL should be
increased 8 to 12.
46. Provide full furnished quarters: Provide full furnished quarters for NVS staff.
47. Generator: Generator connection for staff quarters also.
48. Benevolent fund: An amount equal to one day salary of all staff may be collected and
may be safely kept at the Vidyalaya level. Later, a defined contribution may be
sent to that staff who is in such necessity with an intimation to NVS.
49. Transportation of deceased body of NVS staff: All steps may be taken to
transport the body of those deceased staff from their work place to their
native at NVS expenditure.
50. Garden Workers: Two workers may be
appointed to take care of Vidyalaya garden and vegetable garden. Sanction an
amount not less than Rs. 5,00’000 every year in each Vidyalaya for gardening
and agriculture.
Sir, the above grievances of the staff have been represented by AINVSA
several times for your kind favourable action. However reddressal of these
grievances is still awaited. This has damaged the morale of the staff all over
India. Since high degree of commitment and morale are inevitable to keep a
system like ours to continue to attain better momentum and progress, timely
reddressal of staff problems is essential. Therefore on behalf of the entire staff
community of the nation we implore your kind self to take appropriate measures
to expedite the reddressal of the above grievances at the earliest.
If NVS/ Govt. of India is not
considering the implementation of CCS Pension Scheme rule 1972 and the above said
genuine demands, AINVSA, is going to start NON CO OPERATION MOVEMENTS
(BOYCOTT STRIKE).
NVS/
Govt. of India should not compel us to indulge strike activities and we request
that NVS/ Govt. of India should come forward to solve the grievance with
immediate effect
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
