System
Administrators Case:
The
demand for creation of a separate cadre for System Administrators has been
discussed several times with the Department. Last discussion was held in the
JCM, Departmental Council meeting and Cadre Restructuring Committee. Department
has made it clear that existing System Administrators are not going to be
benefited even if a seperate cadre is created and also pointed out certain
other adverse aspects of the case.
The main points of the Department are:
(1) In
the Recruitment Rules for creating separate cadre Government (DOP & T) will
fix higher technical qualifications for the post.
(2) Government (DOP & T)
will not agree for absorption of existing System Administrators and instead go
for direct recruitment as per the Recruitment Rules.
(3) Even if a cadre is
created there is no much promotional scope in the same cadre as the promotional
posts will be very less. Just like Postmaster Cadre they will not get general
line promotion and also can not write IP & PSS Group B exams.
In view of the
above all Circle/Divisional Secretaries are requested to inform their views on
the following points.
(1) Whether we should still stick to our demand for
separate cadre
(2) Instead whether we should demand special pay or some other
benefits for the existing System Administrators.
The issue will be again
discussed on the next meeting of the Cadre Restructuring Committee to be held
on 04-02-2014.
Send
your views by email to nfpehq@gmail.com before 02-02-2014.

Casual Labour - Huger Fast Postponed:
NFPE & FNPO has already declared two days strike on 2014 February 12th & 13th and Regularization and revision of wages of casual labourer is one of the main demands of the strike. Secretary Generals of NFPE & FNPO and all General Secretaries are out of Delhi conducting intensive campaign programmes in all Circles for making the strike total success. As such it is decided to postpone the proposed hunger fast programme on 05-02-2014 in front of Dak Bhavan, New Delhi and concentrate fully on strike campaign.
