Sub : Functions of Master On Duty-reg.
Sir,
In response to the letter F.No2-18/2011-NVS(SA.) dated 11th July, 2011 circulated by NVS HQ in its official website relating to role and functions of Master on Duty (M.O.D) in JNVs with the intention to enforce accountability on teachers we would like to bring the following facts to your kind attention:
The MOD duty was introduced in Navodaya Vidyalayas during the period when Vice-Principal posts were not constituted and also when most of the Navodaya Vidyalayas were functioning in temporary buildings with limited infrastructure. The practice has been continued since then even when regular Vice-Principal is posted in all Vidyalayas and almost all Navodaya Vidyalayas are functioning in permanent buildings with sufficient infrastructure.
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 smoothily and effectively.
Hence the monitoring of the day to day activities of the Vidyalaya is a sole and whole responsibility of Principal and Vice Principal only and as such there is no need to impose their basic duties and responsibilities upon teachers who are otherwise burdened heavily with other academic and House related work. There is no justification what so ever to delegate the basic duties and responsibilities of Principal and Vice Principal to the Teachers. Also it has been a practice of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti to punish MOD of the day, if any untoward incident happens in the school. It has been used only as a tool to victimise a teacher in such cases over the years.
Hence it is requested that MOD duty system may henceforth be scrapped with immediate effect. AINVSA looks forward to a speedy action in this regard, failing which the teachers may be compelled to boycott MOD Duty from 1st August, 2011.
Thanking You
Yours Faithfully

To
The Hon`ble Commissioner
Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti
New Delhi
Sub: functions of Master on Duty – request to scrap MOD-reg
We are happy to note that Samiti is trying to streamline certain things which have not received their due attention in the last two decades – the drafting of rules for allotment of residential quarters being one of them. The latest is the circulation of the MOD duties and reports to bring ‘uniformity’ in the schools. In this the Samiti has rationalised the exploitation of teachers from morning 5.30 a.m. to evening 10.30p.m. nonstop! But at the end of the end day what matters most to it is report submitted by the MOD.
As usual Samiti thinks for staff and acts for them. It decides how much of extra work is to be extracted from them unilaterally as it is sure of the uncomplaining compliance and unreserved obedience of the staff. The teachers are dumb cows and their role is only to receive orders and silently implement them. An ‘elite management’ never does anything wrong.
The MOD was introduced over a decade ago. The purpose behind it was to assist the Principal and monitor certain sensitive areas for the effective running of the vidyalaya. In the absence of clear guidelines the defining of duties was left to the discretion of the Principals. In one school a single teacher was forced to perform MOD duties from Sunday to Saturday and in another school the teacher on MOD duty was to sumbit a 16 page report at the end of his duty. These are just only two examples of excesses committed by some over enthusiastic principals in the name of running the vidyalayas effectively. In all schools the teachers perform the MOD duties in addition to their regular teaching duties and other duties like HMs/AHMs, Class Teachers or incharges of various committees. In schools where Principals are least sympathetic to the personal life and freedom of teachers, the sincere performing of the MOD duties leaves the teachers dog-tired at the end of the day. As records matter the most to the administrators, in most schools the role of the MOD is relegated to submitting a report.
The Association is unable to comprehend the rationale behind engaging a teacher 17 hours non-stop. Even lady teachers are not exempted. Now teachers must skip classes to discharge the MOD duties as laid out in the circular. Whether the management wants the MOD to perform his teaching duties in addition to the MOD duties is not clear from the circular. As every teacher is likely to get the MOD work twice in a month, their academic work is likely to suffer. Besides, does Samiti expect a teacher who did 17 hours of work the previous day to perform his regular duties effectively on the following day? Does the Samiti expect the lady teachers also to be up and present on the grounds at 5.30 in the morning and go to bed only after 10.30 at night after taking the roll call of all houses? Are the teachers inexhaustible machines?
All the duties of the MOD are supervisory in nature. They oversee/monitor the work of all other staff – there is hardly any new job for them to do. The PT teachers, in fact, take attendance at the beginning of their morning and evening sessions. The morning assembly is conducted in the presence of teachers, vice-principal and principal. The breakfast and other meal time are supervised by the HMs/AHMs. The remedial classes/supervisory classes are conducted by the concerned teachers. The night roll call is taken by the HMs. The duty of the MOD is to oversee all these and ‘report’. The 6-page report hardly reflects the spirit behind the introduction of the MOD system. By reducing the teacher’s role to gathering the list of present and absent teachers and students at various places and various times house-wise/gender-wise, it has made the ‘true purpose’ behind the imposition of this duty on teachers very clear – i.e. to physically check the presence and absence of teachers and students on campus. By and large the MOD steps into the shoes of a non-existent assistant to the vice-principal and the principal. Thanks to the exemplary obedience of the Navodya staff and their clever handling by the management the coffers of the central government will remain safe.
The Samiti seems to put aside the primary functions of teachers as ‘running’ the vidyalyas has become its primary concern. The CCE introduced by the CBSE demands a lot of teachers’ attention to their work as most of them are not well-equipped to deal with the challenges and not trained enough. Against the middleclass background of teachers and a very ordinary training imparted to them before they join the profession, the holistic development of child has become a challenge now. The elite management shows its disregard for the CCE by still setting benchmarks for teachers and ordering them to meet the targets fixed, ignoring the difficulties of teachers who work in educationally backward areas. Comparisons are made and teachers are served memos for their ‘inability’. The need of the hour is to revamp the system, prepare the teachers to cope up with the challenges posed by the CCE, encourage honesty and show the world that learning is fun at Navodaya Vidyalayas and young Navodayans are a pride of the nation. Is the Samiti gearing itself to providing proper guidance and extending a helping hand to the schools in this direction? What is it that worries it the most?
Do we need one more supervisor over the staff who spend half their time on the campus only supervising? Doesn’t it shows the absence of trust and the failure of the system to nurture a culture where staff of all cadres perform the duties expected of them sincerely? Does this kind of supervision for record’s sake ensure efficiency and effective functioning of the school? Does this not provide a chance to a few insensible principals to overexploit the staff?
The staff of NVS have had enough. The Association requests the Samiti not to take the silent compliance of teachers for granted any more. It opposes any attempt to overburden the teachers further. Hence, it demands the dispensing of MOD system forthwith as the soundness of a structure does not depend on the growing number of supervisors.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely
Jagdish Rai L.B.Reddy

Shri Biju, Hon’ble Member of Parliament from Kerala presented his inaugural speech to the delegates. He praised the Navodaya Vidyalaya scheme for nurturing rural talented children. He enlightened the delegates of the changes taking place in the educational front as a result of the government policies that are encouraging less government involvement and more private entrepreneurship. He explained how education is going to be more and more elitist as the middle classes and other downtrodden sections of the society will be deprived of the benefits of modern science and technology as private and foreign investment is being encouraged to open educational shops. He urged the participants to oppose these harmful trends as they are posing a threat to the right of the underprivileged for education. Later, the Hon’ble Member of Parliament launched the website of the Association, ainvsa.com, amidst thunderous applause of the delegates.
Dr Vijender Sharma warns of more threats to democratic organisations
Dr Vijender Sharma, Professor, Delhi University, appreciated the delegates for taking pains to attend the conference. He reminded the audience of the promises made by the former HRD Minister, late Shri Arjun Singh at the Tri-Region Conference, lamenting the fact that they have remained unfulfilled to this day. He urged the staff to oppose the reforms launched by the HRD Ministry to privatise education which is meant to loot the students and deprive the staff of their legitimate rights.

He also enumerated the financial troubles faced the Association. He remarked that the Navodaya staff had to fight on their own to achieve their demands. They could seek the support of the like-minded people but they should not expect others to fight for their cause however genuine it is. He also enlightened the delegates of the writ petition filed in the Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand by Shri. P N Mishra on behalf of the Association.

Respected Sir,
Sub: Revision of Transfer Policy – Regarding
Through this letter the Association would like to bring to your attention the much debated transfer policy with a request to postpone the proposal of displacing the senior most teachers and transferring them to the North-East and other difficult places.
The Association objects to the transfer move on the ground that the Samiti’s Transfer policy still requires changes as it still fails to distribute staff equitably across all regions. In spite of consuming enormous amount to prepare the draft transfer policy, the Samiti failed to deliver justice to the staff as it has not done enough exercise to prepare a foolproof policy. The 2009 draft policy can do little to remove the maladies which have already taken deep roots. We would like to enlist a few here:
1. It is not clear about transferring staff regularly and prepare them mentally to accept changes which are made for an efficient functioning of the samiti.
2. It seems to encourage staff to take mutual transfers and spare the Samiti the trouble of financial drain.
3. It fails to identify the fact that the staff working in vidyalayas which are in remote areas need special attention and should be transferred out. Some of the vidyalayas located on the mainland are as tough as working in the hard stations and the north-east region.
4. It does not also make it clear what it is going to do with the staff who have been working in some vidyalayas for decades.
5. It has given a wrong impression that staff can continue to work in their present place of work as long as they are in the good books of the administration.
6. The inaction of the Samiti in transfer matters has led to such stagnation that more than half the staff from each vidyalaya must undergo transfer if the policy is implemented strictly. The actual figure of the employees and the amount of expenditure that Samiti must incur in the event of their transfer would be stunning.
We request the Samti to consider the following positively to alleviate the fears of the staff and spread an atmosphere of good will among them.
1. The senior most staff should be exempted from the mandatory transfer to North-East and other hard places as they worked under testing and trying conditions when the organization was in its infancy and contributed enormously to elevate the status of the organization.
2. The teachers who are 40, not 50, should be exempted from transfer to North-East as is done in the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan.
3. All freshly recruited staff should be posted initially in the North-east for a period of 3-2 years.
4. The 10-year bond period of some of the teachers working in the North-East and hard places should be reduced to 6-5 years.
5. The NVS should revise its draft transfer policy along the lines of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. The point system followed by the KVS is more rational and may be considered by NVS.
6. The NVS should start its work from the scratch keeping in mind the difficulties faced by teachers working in remote areas where they face problems like transportation, water shortage, load shedding, education of their children, medical facilities, etc. It should give due weightage to staff working in such conditions. The teachers who have been working in regions other than their native regions should be given due weightage.
7. The contemplated displacement of Principals of various Regions to North East and displacement should be withdrawn.
8. The staff who have completed the three years mandatory period may be posted against clear vacancies only.
The Association is opposed to the draft transfer policy 2009 and the North-East transfer policy as it is vague and fails to devise a mechanism which runs impartially irrespective of whoever there at the helm of affairs. Displacement clause should be deleted in the scheduled Transfers counseling to be held at JNV,Ratiabad in the month of May,2011. It appeals to your kind self once again to give consideration to the feelings and suggestions of the staff every time it prepares its transfer or any other major policy by extending them a platform as its decisions and policies affect thousands of staff working at the ground level. Justice should not only be done but seem to be done.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely

This historic conference recorded a participation of over 400 staff – teaching and non-teaching. The turning out of all cadres of staff for the Conference exhibits the unshaking faith they have reposed in the organisation and their resolution to carry on the struggle out of which it was born.
The inaugural speech by Shri P K Biju, Hon’ble Member of Parliament and the launching of ainvsa.com

He lauded the efforts of the CEC members who had taken pains to ensure that delegates participated from all regions across the country in good number. He also enumerated the difficulties encountered and hoped that the Association would flourish by overcoming its shortcomings in the days to come and going all out to enrol more members from schools where there had been no Association so far.
Shri Biju, Hon’ble Member of Parliament from Kerala presented his inaugural speech to the delegates. He praised the Navodaya Vidyalaya scheme for nurturing rural talented children. He enlightened the delegates of the changes taking place in the educational front as a result of the government policies that are encouraging less government involvement and more private entrepreneurship. He explained how education is going to be more and more elitist as the middle classes and other downtrodden sections of the society will be deprived of the benefits of modern science and technology as private and foreign investment is being encouraged to open educational shops. He urged the participants to oppose these harmful trends as they are posing a threat to the right of the underprivileged for education. Later, the Hon’ble Member of Parliament launched the website of the Association, ainvsa.com, amidst thunderous applause of the delegates.
Dr Vijender Sharma warns of more threats to democratic organisations
Dr Vijender Sharma, Professor, Delhi University, appreciated the delegates for taking pains to attend the conference. He reminded the audience of the promises made by the former HRD Minister, late Shri Arjun Singh at the Tri-Region Conference, lamenting the fact that they have remained unfulfilled to this day. He urged the staff to oppose the reforms launched by the HRD Ministry to privatise education which is meant to loot the students and deprive the staff of their legitimate rights. He also explained how the reforms proposed are meeting stiff resistance from the democratic forums. He wanted to the staff to carry on the fight against the anti-employee policies with more zeal and unity.
The General Secretary’s Report
Shri L.B.Reddy, General Secretary, presented his report to the gathering. He highlighted the efforts taken by all the SECs to make arrangements for the Conference. He pointed out how the Association is still facing troubles as the vidyalaya units have not been functioning to the expectations. He urged the delegates to take the enrolment of membership seriously and strengthen the organisation by starting vidyalaya units in schools where there have been no units so far. He also enumerated the financial troubles faced the Association. He remarked that the Navodaya staff had to fight on their own to achieve their demands. They could seek the support of the like-minded people but they should not expect others to fight for their cause however genuine it is. He also enlightened the delegates of the writ petition filed in the Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand by Shri. P N Mishra on behalf of the Association. The General Secretary did his best to explain that the struggle to achieve the CCS Pension and 10% Special Allowance could not deliver fruits overnight as a long battle had to be waged with renewed strength to shake the Central Government.

The Hon`ble Commissioner
Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti
New Delhi
Respected Sir,
Sub: Revision of Transfer Policy – Regarding
Through this letter the Association would like to bring to your attention the much debated transfer policy with a request to postpone the proposal of displacing the senior most teachers and transferring them to the North-East and other difficult places.
The Association objects to the transfer move on the ground that the Samiti’s Transfer policy still requires changes as it still fails to distribute staff equitably across all regions. In spite of consuming enormous amount to prepare the draft transfer policy, the Samiti failed to deliver justice to the staff as it has not done enough exercise to prepare a foolproof policy. The 2009 draft policy can do little to remove the maladies which have already taken deep roots. We would like to enlist a few here:
1. It is not clear about transferring staff regularly and prepare them mentally to accept changes which are made for an efficient functioning of the samiti.
2. It seems to encourage staff to take mutual transfers and spare the Samiti the trouble of financial drain.
3. It fails to identify the fact that the staff working in vidyalayas which are in remote areas need special attention and should be transferred out. Some of the vidyalayas located on the mainland are as tough as working in the hard stations and the north-east region.
4. It does not also make it clear what it is going to do with the staff who have been working in some vidyalayas for decades.
5. It has given a wrong impression that staff can continue to work in their present place of work as long as they are in the good books of the administration.
6. The inaction of the Samiti in transfer matters has led to such stagnation that more than half the staff from each vidyalaya must undergo transfer if the policy is implemented strictly. The actual figure of the employees and the amount of expenditure that Samiti must incur in the event of their transfer would be stunning.
We request the Samti to consider the following positively to alleviate the fears of the staff and spread an atmosphere of good will among them.
1. The senior most staff should be exempted from the mandatory transfer to North-East and other hard places as they worked under testing and trying conditions when the organization was in its infancy and contributed enormously to elevate the status of the organization.
2. The teachers who are 40, not 50, should be exempted from transfer to North-East as is done in the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan.
3. All freshly recruited staff should be posted initially in the North-east for a period of 3-2 years.
4. The 10-year bond period of some of the teachers working in the North-East and hard places should be reduced to 6-5 years.
5. The NVS should revise its draft transfer policy along the lines of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. The point system followed by the KVS is more rational and may be considered by NVS.
6. The NVS should start its work from the scratch keeping in mind the difficulties faced by teachers working in remote areas where they face problems like transportation, water shortage, load shedding, education of their children, medical facilities, etc. It should give due weightage to staff working in such conditions. The teachers who have been working in regions other than their native regions should be given due weightage.
7. The contemplated displacement of Principals of various Regions to North East and displacement should be withdrawn.
8. The staff who have completed the three years mandatory period may be posted against clear vacancies only.
The Association is opposed to the draft transfer policy 2009 and the North-East transfer policy as it is vague and fails to devise a mechanism which runs impartially irrespective of whoever there at the helm of affairs. Displacement clause should be deleted in the scheduled Transfers counseling to be held at JNV,Ratiabad in the month of May,2011. It appeals to your kind self once again to give consideration to the feelings and suggestions of the staff every time it prepares its transfer or any other major policy by extending them a platform as its decisions and policies affect thousands of staff working at the ground level. Justice should not only be done but seem to be done.
Thanking you

Dear friends
A TRIBUTE TO THE PASSED AWAY KIDS of PUNE REGION
You may be aware that there were two death incidents recently of students belonging to Pune Region. A girl committed sucide reportedly in the bathroom of the dormitory at JNV Kodinar(Junagadh) in Gujarat on 13th of March. While another boy student --a migration-student from JNV Dumra(Kutch)--was drowned too, within a week, at JNV Rajasmand . AINVSA Pune Region greatly mourns and laments over their demise. May the ALMIGHTY GOD give their parents, near and dear ones the strength to bear the great loss. AINVSA Pune Region (REC) and AINVSA CEC are with them and the staff of JNV Junagadh and JNV Kutch at this hour of grief.
The working hours allocated to the teaching staff in Navodaya Vidyalayas are such that very little time is left to the staff to attend to their own sons and daughters let alone the wards of their respective houses. Children are very sensitive during their adolescence period. Individual attention should be given to them to cater to their emotional and psychological needs.We should not stake the lives of these innocent kids for want of a few bucks such as 800 Rs as allowance, or our own jobs for that matter. We should invariably and uncategorically renounce HouseMaster ship task., and urge the Samiti to give these tasks to Warden and House Attendants directly recruited with this sole purpose. Pschological Counsellors should be deputed to assist these Wardens and Matrons..
The NVS officers directly alleges the H.M s accountable , even though they have done their jobs sincerely. The teacher may be a good teacher and an H.M ,but is suspended and attached/transferred.…,or even terminated if such untoward happenings occur in any Vidyalaya., whatsoever may be the cause. This may transpire to you ,too , for perhaps no fault of yours, in the days to come. We should not wait for our chance to come , but raise our cudgel and ask Warden and Matron regular posts in Navodaya Vidyalayas , instead of just miserly aspiring for enhancement of allowance.—for the Safety and Security of these innocent kids.
AINVSA Pune Region (R.E.C) take this unfortunate moment to raise a petition on line through the masses—staff of Navodaya Vidyalayas throughout the country for the demand of permanent/regular posts of Warden and Matrons in Navodaya Vidyalayas, to avoid the occurrence of such tragic incidents and review the Safety and Security measures in the true sense of the word.
PLEASE LOG ON TO: www.gopetition.com/petition/44004.html and click on “Sign the Petition” mentioned below. It will take only two minutes, but will save your jobs and the lives of these innocent kids of this country.
AINVSA REC implores AINVSA CEC and all staff to have one stand., and opinion. Unity is our strength. Don’t ask for allowance as well as warden. Only opt for one. It is upon you to decide. But if you agree with us, then don’t delay in signing the petition. Forget the differences and just do it !!!
You can make your petition anonymous too, if you are apprehensive. Just open the website to see how many have boldly clicked/signed the petition with audacity. Spread this message for the sake of lives and jobs in Navodaya Vidyalayas. This would benefit all --- the Principals R.Os and Hqrs as well; from such blemishes in the years to come.
I remain as ever ,

T.P.MANI's CIRCULARs
CIRCULAR
This is to bring to the notice all members of all legally registered Staff Associations
under Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti that All India Navodaya Vidyalaya Staff
Association (AINVSA) is a registered Staff Association with Reg No K 492/94.The place
and address of registration is Girija Nilayam, Vadavathoor.PO. Kottayam, Kerala.
Presently the President and Gen.Secretary of AINVSA are Sri.T P Mani and
Sri.J K Singh respectively. It has come to our notice that Sri.L B Reddy and Sri Jagdeesh
posing as the Gen Secretary and President are conducting meetings under the banner of
AINVSA with the same register number and enrolling members to the ‘association’.
In this connection, I would like to state in emphatic and unambiguous terms that the
afore- mentioned activities of Sri.L B Reddy and Sri Jagdeesh Rai are illegal and can
attract legal proceedings. More over, any person who becomes a member of such
association is at fault for similar offence.
Hence I would like to caution every member of the staff of NVS that they may please
refrain from attending such illegal meetings or becoming members of such duplicate
association.
It is also brought to the notice of all that the JAC meeting to held at Chandigarh is not
genuine as it has not been called with the knowledge of the associations who worked
together before 1st February 2010
.
Since the proposed meeting is called by those who derailed the indefinite strike proposed
to be held on February1,2010 and completely shattered our hope for such an important
and life saving issue as introduction of Pension scheme we would like to caution all
members that if they are continued to proceed we may again meet with peril.The under
current of the activities held in the month of January 2010 was a frightening and
shameless drama that that ditched 60,000 or so lives of the innocent staff and their family
members.Hence AINVSA does not have any share in this blood.
Sri,L B Reddy was never interested in constituting JAC or a strike.He was opposed to
all such activities.He was of the opinion that the time was not ripe for a strike and that we
would have to face terrible consequences if went on strike on 1st February,2010.He
asserted this view in all the JAC meetings and vehemently criticized any move for
strike.In the last meeting held at Pune before the proposed strike,too,he took a similar
view.The real reason behind the assertion was that he did not want the credit of expected
thumping success of the indefinite strike to be shared by JAC,rather wanted to have it all
alone.Therefore he tried to mercilessly kill the movement.
On account of the above facts I would like to caution all the innocent and committed staff
members of NVS who are desirous to get Pension Scheme implemented not to be
deceived by such people who responsible for split of staff into teaching and non-teaching
and spoiling of prospects for recognition of AINVSA by uncanny brinkmanship.
President General Secretary
(T P Mani) (J K Singh)

Please intimate the receipt of the minutes and suggestion/proposals to the President and Gen Secretary
Ref. No- AINVSA/ 2010-11/ P-166 Date- 20/10/2010
Sir/Madam,
The issue of introduction of pension is not something that can be easily given up by a feeble jolt because it is our legitimate right as per the CCS Rules. It is also a requirement as a corruption preventive measure or to be more precise as a measure to proceed against a government employee after retirement as if he is in service. The reluctance of NVS to introduce the CCS pension rules even after reminders after reminders from the Chief Vigilance Officer is, indubitably, to open up pastures for corruption and let the tainted officers go scot free after retirement. But the injustice done to 60,000 innocent souls by NVS is inexcusable and unpardonable.
Though the JAC had done a tremendous lot of work last year to bring the staff to embark on the path of agitation, we were finally taken for a ride by NVS and the govt. The call off of the strike has caused a great deal of damage to the confidence of the staff. However we cannot go to dormancy and curse our fate. Hence we have to rejuvenate our activities and fight teeth and nail to achieve CCS Pension because without a source of income in the form of pension our lives will be completely shattered and wrecked to extreme wretchedness. We should not allow apathetic administration to do that to us.
Now that,Sri.V L Balasusubramanian and Sri.R S Nayak have retired from service we hope that a new committee will be constituted by AIJNVPF and join us to proceed with added vigour and enthusiasm.
All India Navodaya Vidyalaya Staff Association look forward to all registered ad genuine staff association to join us to form a new JAC and draw a new road map for our agitation activities. Our bitter experience last year has taught us to identify the wolves in sheep’s clothing. AINVA does not practice political jingoism, brinkmanship, internecine warfare, ditching and digging. We mean what we say. However we could realize that there were people in the ship who wrecked from within and caused it to sink. Hence we have taken a unanimous decision in our CEC meeting that AINVSA shall not work with fraudulent associations. An ‘association’ is existing at present under our banner and register number. AINVSA was registered in, Kollam Kerala with register number……. If any one claims the same register number and banner it is a punishable offence and we will be forced to proceed with litigation against so called association. We are in possession of all relevant documents to support our claims.This is why we do not want to include fraudulent ‘association’(if it is right to be called so)with the JAC as it may finally stab in the back and treacherously indulge in deceit and nasty skullduggery
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
(T P Mani)

It is also a requirement as a corruption preventive measure or to be more precise as a measure to proceed against a government employee after retirement as if he is in service. The reluctance of NVS to introduce the CCS pension rules even after reminders after reminders from the Chief Vigilance Officer is, indubitably, to open up pastures for corruption and let the tainted officers go scot free after retirement. But the injustice done to 60,000 innocent souls by NVS is inexcusable and unpardonable.
Though the JAC had done a tremendous lot of work last year to bring the staff to embark on the path of agitation, we were finally taken for a ride by NVS and the govt. The call off of the strike has caused a great deal of damage to the confidence of the staff. However we cannot go to dormancy and curse our fate. Hence we have to rejuvenate our activities and fight teeth and nail to achieve CCS Pension because without a source of income in the form of pension our lives will be completely shattered and wrecked to extreme wretchedness. We should not allow apathetic administration to do that to us.
Now that,Sri.V L Balasusubramanian and Sri.R S Nayak have retired from service we hope that a new committee will be constituted by AIJNVPF and join us to proceed with added vigour and enthusiasm.
All India Navodaya Vidyalaya Staff Association look forward to all registered ad genuine staff association to join us to form a new JAC and draw a new road map for our agitation activities. Our bitter experience last year has taught us to identify the wolves in sheep’s clothing. AINVA does not practice political jingoism, brinkmanship, internecine warfare, ditching and digging. We mean what we say. However we could realize that there were people in the ship who wrecked from within and caused it to sink. Hence we have taken a unanimous decision in our CEC meeting that AINVSA shall not work with fraudulent associations. An ‘association’ is existing at present under our banner and register number. AINVSA was registered in, Kollam Kerala with register number……. If any one claims the same register number and banner it is a punishable offence and we will be forced to proceed with litigation against so called association. We are in possession of all relevant documents to support our claims.This is why we do not want to include fraudulent ‘association’(if it is right to be called so)with the JAC as it may finally stab in the back and treacherously indulge in deceit and nasty skullduggery
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
(T P Mani)
