Com P.S.Prasad  President COC Karnataka briefed about the need for 8^th CPC constitution due to higher inflation rates and high retail prices prevailing in the market especially after the covid affect . He also informed through the struggles in the past we are able to force the government to constitute the pay commission, the 7^th CPC announcement was made in September 2013. Now it is time to have series of programs to put pressure on the government to constitute the 8^th CPC , the Confederation always played a leading role in CG movement .

He also explained the need for the struggles in respect of scrapping of New Pension Scheme, the  August 10^th Rally at New Delhi was quite successful with more than on lakh comrades participating in the rally at Ramlila grounds . He thanked those comrades from Karnataka state especially the ITEF comrades who have participated in the rally .

The COC Karnataka had released an article on NPS employees issue , it was explained that those NPS employees who don’t have full service of 33 years are getting only about 10 to 25 % as pension considering the current market growth , even those NPS employees who have completed 33 years of service also get only 40 % pension not the 50% in Old Pension scheme , also the market guarantee is not there for NPS employees due to market fluctuations .

So to protect the interest of NPS employees and demand its scrapping continuous program of action is required as suggested by the Confederation.

The following program of action is planned to educate the members and participate in the movement of Central Government employees to press for two important demands of  8^th CPC constitution and Scrapping of NPS .
