A HUMBLE REQUEST BY AINVSA TO A FEW PRINCIPALS OF NVS TO STOP ANTI-STAFF MEASURES

  A HUMBLE REQUEST TO SOME OF THE PRINCIPALS IN A FEW JNVs to STOP THEIR ANTI-STAFF  ACTIONS AND  HARRASSMENT MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES as reported to AINVSA.

The Principals in some of the Vidyalayas are reported to adhere to the following disgusting and condemnable administrative techniques. We, AINVSA (CEC) are in receipt of a few written complaints from some JNVs with adequate proofs to substantiate the harassing management techniques of the Principals there. AINVSA humbly requests them to stop them, check their attitude, as the same would be taken to higher levels as staff welfare measure in the nearest future. ,if not.

1.   Sixth Pay Commission had recommended 5 days a week work culture for government servants but NVS Principals are enforcing full time on Saturdays and Sundays as well.

2.    The Personal and Family life is sabotaged by conducting Meetings on Saturday Afternoons, Cleanliness Campaign etc. Sundays for Parents Teachers Meetings, Study hours, Morning Attendance, Evening Attendance etc. The Parent Teachers Council (PTC) Meetings of Second Saturdays once, are recently shifted on Sundays, and no compensatory leave given in lieu of that.

3.   The Principals hinder the teachers from going out of the campus, even for purchasing daily home needs, taking care of their own children, etc.

4.   Headquarter leave and Casual Leave is not given easily quoting Swami Rules that CL is a privilege and not a right.

5.   Some of the Principals in some of the Vidyalayas call the ladies teachers in their chambers during off time, on some pretext or the other. They are lingered unnecessarily, when they enter the chambers for some school works.

6.   The teachers or rather the entire staff are discouraged from healthy interpersonal relationships; they are deterred from having family relations with each other., even to the extent even four staff members standing together are taken as otherwise by these hard core Principals.

7.   Some of the Principals enjoy subjugating the staff, and give memorandums, advisory notices etc where the matter could have been sorted out amicably by given oral warnings.

8.   In some of the Vidyalayas the Principals resort to using abusive language, shouting, raising their voice in front of even the ladies staff.

9.   Divide and Rule legacy of the Britishers is used as one of the Management technique in this modern digital era by these Principals. Groupism is instigated and favouritism is reported from these schools. Partiality and soft corner to some, and taking their help in return to harass others is a general phenomenon to them.

10. Decision and Policy not common in the Vidyalayas. Common schedule not followed, extra works other then prescribed from NVS Hqrs allocated and assigned only to mentally harass and make them workaholics.

NVS in general and these Principals in particular, should change themselves with the changing times. We are in modern era, with new advance management and administrative techniques, which would increase the efficiency and professional growth of the employees, instead of implementing these harassing outdated traditional techniques

 The Perspective Academic Planning (PAP) are followed in true letter and spirit, although its mentioned therein that it depends on the Principals and the area and location of the Vidyalayas. PAP is only guidelines given by NVS Hqrs., its should be adopted with flexibility and mutatis mutandis.

The staff should be given time and space for their personal, family cares and needs. More and more efficient and promising employees are dropping out of NVS in dearth of this .On the contrary Employees of Private and Public Sector Units are given comparatively more time and avenues for their personal and family, needs and professional growth, which in turn enhances their productivity. AINVSA understands and empathise the residential culture of NVS system, but it should not be an excuse to harass the staff.

Its high time that NVS instead of endorsing these aforesaid activities of the Principals, chide them, discourage them from doing so. Strict and stringent measures should be taken against such Principals who are spoiling the name of NVS, as more and more complaints are lodged to external agencies by the victims of these Vidyalayas. AINVSA wants to mediate and shield the defamation of our institution as far as possible; giving consolation to the employees of these Vidyalayas that the situation would improve soon and they need not refer their grievances to any other forum.

Hope and pray this is taken in a positive and congenial spirit by one and all, especially NVS Authorities and the concerned stake holders.
