AIPEU-GDS agitation programme on GDS issues

Dear Comrades,

The AIPEU-GDS 3rd All India Conference held in Allahabad (UP) has unanimously resolved to go for a series of agitation programmes on GDS issues viz., 

(i) immediate implementation of all positive recommendations of  Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report  

(ii) complete the process of Membership verification in GDS cadre.

For the last few weeks Govt. & Department playing tactics & drag the issue of implementation of the GDS Committee recommendations for the reasons best known to the concerned authorities. 

The resentment and anger over the situation is growing day by day among the 2.50 lakhs of Gramin Dak Sevaks all over India.

It suspects, some more hurdles may be created to conclude the process from Govt side. 
We have to built pressure to resolve our issues at the earliest.

Get ready for a higher form of action i.e., indefinite strike.

Make all the agitation programmes a grand success.

Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) 
and 
Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) 
Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) were launched on 9th May, 2015. The cover period under these Schemes is 1st June of each year to 31st May of subsequent year. These Schemes are offered/administered through both Public and Private Sector Insurance companies, in tie-up with scheduled commercial banks, Regional Rural Banks and Cooperative Banks.

PMJJBY offers a renewable one year term life cover of Rupees Two Lakh to all subscribing bank account holders in the age group of 18 to 50 years, covering death due to any reason, for a premium of Rs.330/- per annum per subscriber, to be auto debited from subscriber’s bank account. Similarly, PMSBY offers a renewable oneyear accidental death cum disability cover to all subscribing bank account holders in the age group of 18 to 70 years for a premium of Rs.12/- per annum per subscriber to be auto debited from subscriber’s bank account. The scheme provides a cover of Rs. Two Lakh for accidental death or total permanent disability and Rs One Lakh in case of permanent partial disability.

PMJJBY and PMSBY provide insurance cover to common people, especially poor and the under-privileged sections of the society. The Government as well as the Public Sector Insurance Companies such as Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) had organized massive campaign to create awareness amongst large sections of population and also carried outreach efforts to facilitate access to the schemes. An exclusive website www.jansuraksha.gov.in, which hosts all relevant material / information including forms, rules etc. related to this scheme in English, Hindi and regional languages, was created. The progress of settlement of claims under the schemes is monitored regularly by the Government. Any complaints in respect of the schemes are dealt in coordination with banks and insurance companies in getting it resolved expeditiously.

Competition is the catalyst for change, quality and affordable prices; Delivers Valedictory Address at the International Competition Network Annual Conference 2018 (ICN2018) in New Delhi today;

MoS for Communications (Independent Charge) and Railways, Shri Manoj Sinha: 
Competition is the catalyst for change, quality and affordable prices; Delivers Valedictory Address at the International Competition Network Annual Conference 2018 (ICN2018) in New Delhi today; 

Three-day International Competition Network’s Annual Conference 2018 comes to an end
Competition is a catalyst for change and when competition works well, the consumers are well informed as well as fully empowered. This was stated by the Union Minister of State for Communication (Independent Charge) and Railways Shri Manoj Sinha. He said that fair and healthy competition in the long run benefits businesses as well as consumers and economy as a whole. The Minister said that “the unfolding competitive federalism among States is the new reality of brand India”. Shri Sinha was delivering the Valedictory Address at the International Competition Network’s 17th Annual Conference 2018 which concluded here today. The three day ICN Annual Conference was organized by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) from 21st to 23rd March 2018 in the national capital. The Conference brought together more than 520 delegates from 73 countries.

Delivering the Valedictory Address, the Union MoS, Shri Sinha further said the resultant benefits of fair competition — in the form of more choices, better quality, and lower prices for the consumers — are too obvious to be recounted. The Minister said that competition has positive impact on the economy at large. He said that competition also leads to innovation because if a company is the sole player in a monopolistic market, there is hardly any rational or incentive for it to innovate and drive improvements in its products and services. The Minister said that collective enforcement is the need of the hour in the globalised world. While complementing the CCI for holding 2018 ICN Annual Conference, the Minister expressed confidence that the outcome of the 3-day Conference would help address many of the practical challenges that come in the way of making our businesses and economic environments more vibrant, fair, equitable, inclusive and sustainable. He also appreciated CCI for their diligent and prompt processing of merger in the Telecom sector in less than one month.

The Union Minister, Shri Sinha said the big jump in India’s rank from 55 to 39 in World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Competitiveness Report in two years; improvement in its ranking from 142nd position to 100th in Ease of Doing Business in last three years and from 65th to 40th position in WEF Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index in just four years, reflect the significant progress we have made as a nation under the dynamic leadership of the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi.

Shri Sinha lauded the role of CCI in providing the competition authorities of different countries with a formal but specialised platform by hosting the ICN Annual Conference 2018 for working towards convergence of sound competition policies and best practices. It has been a torch-bearer for 138 competition agencies in 125 countries. He said that events such as these become important for all the stakeholders to come together, exchange thoughts, ideas and information, and learn from their collective experiences.
There were eight Plenaries and Twenty-Four Breakout Sessions in the three days International Conference. From India’s point of view, the focus of discussion was on the ‘Special Project on Cartel Enforcement and Competition’ that provides insight into the areas of rampant cartelisation, use of tools for effective cartel investigation, and the need for focussed advocacy in vulnerable areas. Other areas of discussion that generated an enthusiastic response among participants were ‘perspectives from the bench: litigating competition cases’, ‘advocacy at the top at any time’ and ‘vertical restraints in offline and online markets’.

In his Closing Remarks, Shri D.K.Sikri, Chairperson, CCI highlighted that despite differences in geographies, businesses and content of law across the globe, there is a common language of communication when it comes to implementation of competition law. He said the energy and activity of delegates from more than 70 countries was unique and enthusiastic. Relating competition and law, the CCI Chairperson said at the heart of competition are the economic principles that must be governed by law. He said that the role of the ICN Annual Conference was to bring stakeholders face to face with issues and this Conference has helped in facilitating international cooperation and sharing of best practices on competition law and its application amongst member countries.

The event concluded with CCI handing-over the baton to Colombia for the next ICN Annual Conference - 2019. The 2019 Conference would focus on digital economy, leniency programme, private enforcement, vertical mergers and vertical restraint.
