Respected Madam,
Sub :- Enhancement of sanction of
amount to GDS undergoing training – Reg.
I would like to brought to
your kind notice that the amount sanctioned for GDS attending training under
Human Resource Management Program is very meager and would not fulfill the
daily expenditure of the officials.
It is reported
from many quarters, the GDSBPMs are directed to undergo training at some
centers away from their native divisions and has to stay for one week at the
training centers.
The BPMs are
forced to attend the training and the amount sanctioned is very meager @ Rs.40
per day and could not meet any purpose and the GDS are starving at training
centers pathetically. Hence it needs to enhance the amount @ Rs.200 per day.
It is requested
to take necessary measures to direct the concerning authorities to sanction
eligible and justified amounts to the GDS BPMs to attend the training centers
to meet the very purpose of training being conducted by the Department at lower
levels.
Action taken on
the subject is requested to intimate this Union.
Yours
faithfully,
(P.PANDURANGARAO)

Respected Madam,
Sub:- Modification required in the recent order on
protection of TRCA to BPMs – Reg
Ref:- Letter No.5-1/07-SW-1, dated 15-10-2012.
I would like to
draw your kind attention to this letter regarding the recent orders on
protection of TRCA to BPMs. The concept of full protection of TRCA is to
sustain the allowances drawing for the month as a principle of natural justice
and in practice for the last 25 years. It
is well aware that the allowances of the GDS BPMs and other GDS depending upon
certain norms formulated to determine the stages or scale of TRCA varied from
BO to BO and GDS to other GDS.
There is an
ambiguity in the instructions issued vide reference above cited that the
continuation of protection of TRCA for one year and after that the fixation
of TRCA slab depending upon the work
load is not at all justified.
It is opined by
this Union that the following view points may
be taken in to consideration to modify the present instructions issued on the
subject.
(I) The
periodicity for revision of allowances has not been specified after the
implementation of One Man Committee recommendations.
(II) The
application of revised norms for calculation of work load became questionable
as the assurances made by the Competent Authority in various instances to
revise the same.
(III) The
recommendations of the Committee constituted for study on work norms of GDS are
yet to be finalized.
(IV) The
concept of full protection should not be changed or modified and to be
continued to all the GDSs on prospective utilization of the BO and services of
GDSs.
(V) Restore
all the cases of reduction of allowances already made in the divisions of
various Circles.
The drop in work
load of a BPM or a BO mostly depending upon the climatic, financial and
economic conditions of the rural areas that which could not be cause a hardship
to the GDS and to starve the family.
Hence it is
requested cause to issue necessary and suitable instructions to the authorities
concerned to modify the instructions issued by taking into consideration of the
view points of this Union and avoid the
financial hardship to the families of GDS.
It is requested
to intimate the action taken on the subject to this Union.
Yours faithfully,
(P.PANDURANGARAO)
