Sub: Filling up of vacant posts in Central Government.
Sir,
In Central Government there are 9.7 lakhs posts are laying vacant due to non filling of these posts since May 2001, Which has resulted in burdening of existing employees and also the Central Government machinery is unable to function in full swing as 30% of the posts are not filled up. There are many unemployed youths in the country by filling up these posts Central Government could have given job opportunity to these unemployed youths. Which would have resulted in better functioning of Central Government with more revenue collection from revenue earning departments like Income Tax, Central Excise etc as there are many tax evaders in the country but due to shortage of staff the Revenue dept’s are unable to function.
In May 2001 the Government issued instructions withdrawing the authority from the concerned Heads of Department to fill up the vacant posts through recruitment and assigning the same to a Screening Committee. As per the stipulation the said screening committee is entitled to authorize filling up only 1/3rd of the direct recruit vacancies ( subject to a maximum of 1 % of the sanctioned posts), the rest 2/3rdbeing abolished permanently. The intention of the order was to reduce the existing manpower drastically. No post was allowed to be created even for justified functional requirement.





Not only it killed the job opportunities for thousands of unemployed youth in the country, but also in the process crippled the functioning of the Departments raising the burden of workload on employees. Even though the said instruction was prima facie applicable to all cadres, categories and groups of civil servants, the Group A Cadres has invariably been excluded by almost all the Departmental Heads. In other words, the abolition of posts had only been in Group C and Group D Cadre only.
The Central Government has lifted these Ban on recruitment in April 2009 but with a condition not to fill up back log posts. There are many operational posts in various depts. Which are vital in nature The Government should fill up these posts immediately so that functioning of the Depts. Will not be affected.The strength of Central Government has reduced from 40 lakhs in the year 2001 to 30 lakhs in 2009, I request your kind self to publish this report in your esteemed newspaper in public interest.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Optimisation of Direct Recruitment to Civilian Posts- regarding

Reference: (i) OM NO.2j8j2001-PIC dated 16.5.2001
(ii) OM NO.2j8j2001-PIC dated 30.8.2006

The undersigned is directed to refer to the above-cited subject and to say that vide this departments O.M.No 2/8/2001-PIC dated 16th May 2001, the Scheme of Optimization of Direct Recruitment to Civilian Posts was introduced for five years with the objective of rationalization of the manpower in various Ministries / Departments of the Government of India. As per the Optimization Scheme, all Ministries / Departments were mandated to prepare the Annual Direct Recruitment Plan for each year in order to prioritize the fresh intake of manpower. After the expiry of the initial five years period, the Optimisation Scheme was reviewed in the year 2006 in consultation with the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance and it was decided to extend the scheme for a further period of three years i.e., up to 31st March 2009 subject to a review after the receipt of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission.

2. In this regard, the Sixth Central Pay Commission has recommended, "multiskilling of the Government employees which would increase their operational efficiency while simultaneously optimizing the staff strength. It is however, noted that while rightsizing in Government is necessary given the changes in the work process due to technology and consequent reduction of layers, a blanket ban on filling up of vacant posts across the board can impact effective functioning. More flexibility is required in this policy for effective service delivery and care has to be taken that administrative delivery structures do not become hollow or thin in critical areas ". (Para 6.3.10)

3. Keeping in view the above recommendation of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, the optimisation policy has again been reviewed in consultation with the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance and it has been decided not to extend the validity of the Optimization Scheme beyond 31.3.2009.

Resolution adopted at the National Executive

Resolution adopted at the National Executive

meeting of the Confederation.



This meeting of the National Executive of the Confederation of Central Government employees and workers held at New Delhi on 2nd April, 2009 drew satisfaction from the response of the Central Government employees to the appeal made by it on 24th March, 2004 to mount vigorous campaign amongst the mass of the employees to take a decisive stand against the then Government at the general election in 2004. With the sustained efforts and endeavour of the entire working class in the country a combination of those political parties who are opposed to fundamentalist and communal forces could be brought to power after the general elections in 2004 in the country. Such a combination of the political parties thus took over the reins of the country with the support extended by the left parties from outside on the clear understanding that the cardinal principle of governance would be what was agreed upon by all concerned as the National Common Minimum programme.



The present Govt. at the beginning kindled the hope and aspiration of the common multitude of the country especially the working class. However once in power the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister unmindful of the strident opposition of the organized movement of the working class and disregarding the views of the Left Parties pursued the same discredited neo-liberal economic policies. The sponsoring committee of Trade Union organizations had to perforce tread the path of struggle and organize strike actions in 2006, 2007 and 2008 to compel the Government to reverse its economic policies of liberalization and globalization. The ban on recruitment which was imposed by the NDA Govt. in 2001 through an executive fiat was not only not withdrawn but continued; many Government departments were wound up; public enterprises were privatized; FDI was allowed in many sectors including the sensitive and strategic ones; initiated policy shifts making higher and professional education beyond the reach of the common man; service tax net was widened to cover many areas of concern to common man; various concessions and exemptions from taxation were provided to the rich and corporate bodies; subsidies were withdrawn driving peasants to penury; the only tax deduction available for the salaried employees i.e the standard deduction under section 16 of the I.T.Act was withdrawn; capital gains tax on stock transactions was abolished to give impetus to speculative business at terrible cost to exchequer; allowed future trading on consumable food articles which became the primary cause for the escalation of prices of all essential commodities like rice, wheat, dhal, edible oil vegetable, sugar etc.; allowed the monopoly houses to enter the retail trade rendering thousands jobless; indulged in massive downsizing and outsourcing of the Governmental functions; raised the administrative price of petroleum products; proposed full capital convertibility of rupee; created innumerable special economic zones granting power to hire and fire to the entrepreneurs; persisted with the financial sector reforms unmindful of the global economic recession; introduced bill to withdraw the labour welfare enactments; did everything to integrate Indian economy to the vagaries and dangers of globalization; weakened and almost wound up the public distribution system; all this done in contravention of the agreed National Common Minimum programme.



At the instance of the proponents of the free market economy and with a view to boost the stock market operations the Government decided to privatize the pension funds and do away with the age old statutory defined benefit pension scheme of the Government employees by introduction of the PFRDA bill in the Parliament. Almost all the State Governments barring Bengal, Tripura and Kerala followed this dictum and introduced the new contributory pension scheme. Despite the stiff opposition of the Central and State Government employees manifested unambiguously by a magnificent strike action on 30th October, 2007 jointly organized by the Confederation and the All India State Government employees Federation, the Government persisted with the PFRDA bill which however could not obtain the Parliamentary sanction due to the principled and consistent opposition of the Left parties. Still the Government put into operation the new contributory pension scheme in fact illegally and unethically through executive instructions. At the fag end of its tenure it decided to divert the pension funds to stock market to boost up the falling sensex.

No different was its attitude towards the employees in the matter of implementation of the 6th CPC report. The report itself was to perpetuate the wage differential between the top echelons of the bureaucracy and the employees. The Government's decision was to accentuate this ill advised recommendation further as it chose to accept the suggestion of the Committee of Secretaries to further increase the Grade pay of all Group A officers and reject the demand of the employees for a fitment formula to provide a minimum benefit of 40% rise in emoluments to all employees. It refused to grant the minimum wage as per the 15th ILC norms and refused to negotiate the recommendations of the 6th CPC with the employees' representatives. It also decided to do away with 9 lakhs Group D posts and outsource all Group D functions to private contractors. On the question of wage revision of 3.5 lakhs Grameen Dak Sewaks, the Government took initially an extremely nugatory attitude by not setting up a judicial committee for their wage revision and later by not revising their wages. Same was the attitude of this Government towards the temporary and casual workers. While the regular employees were given the benefit of wage revision, the casual and daily rated workers were denied. Even after issuing orders for the grant of Child care leave for women employees as per the recommendation of the 6th CPC, the Govt. later issued a clarificatory order virtually denying this benefit. In the case of pre-1996 pensioners the benefit of fixation on notional pay basis was denied. Even in the face of the impact of the world economic recession, it refused to lift the ban on recruitment, fill up the large number of existing vacancies or take steps to generate employment as demanded unanimously by the entire trade union movement in the country in the recently concluded Indian Labour Conference

During the five year tenure, it discarded India's independent foreign policy and moved away from the time tested non-aligned movement. It compromised the country's independent nuclear technology development programme by entering into a controversial agreement which became the subject matter of severe criticism from various quarters. While this had been the track record of the present Government, the major constituent of the opposition had been indulging throughout this period to foment social disharmony, to spread hatred and to fracture the secular social fabric providing impetus to the growth of terrorism.

In this background the National Executive appeals all affiliates and COCs to campaign amongst the mass of the employees and the people of the country to vote for those candidates who support the cause of the working class in general and Government employees in particular. The meeting calls upon all concerned to organize state/district level conventions and mass meeting in front of all offices to organize the employees for this purpose.

Child Care Leave

DOPT REVISES CHILD CARE LEAVE ORDER IN A RETROGRADE MANNER

GOVERNMENT DRAGS ITS FEET AFTER ISSUING ORDERS FOR CHILD CARE LEAVE

 

REVISED ORDERS CONTRARY TO THE PAY COMMISSION'S CONCEPT

 

AFTER ISSUING ORDERS PRESSURE FROM BUREACRATS MADE THE GOVERNMENT REVISE ITS OWN ORDERS

 

PRO-WOMEN EMPLOYEES MASK OF THE GOVERNMENT STANDS EXPOSED BY THE LATEST ORDER DATED 18.11.2008.

 

Dear Comrades! COC appreciated the recommendation of the 6^th CPC as well as its acceptance by the Government of CHILD CARE LEAVE for 2 Years. The Government orders granting this leave including the proforma to be maintained were promptly issued. All of us in general and the women employees in particular were double happy. But after the issue of orders granting Child Care Leave, tremendous pressure from various level of bureaucrats appear to have been mounted on the Government and the latter ha apparently succumbed to the pressure.

 

Suddenly the DOPT issued another dated 18.11.2008 virtually cancelling its earlier orders of grant of Child Care Leave by putting a stringent condition that the Child Care Leave is permissible only to those women employees who have completely exhausted her EL and no EL is at credit of her leave account. This is very retrograde stand taken by the Government in the name of not allowing disruption of the functioning of offices. 

 

The net effect of this revised order is that no women employee will be able to avail this leave if they have any EL at credit. Pompous announcements to show the Government as 'women employees' friendly' was over! There is no need for granting the ordered Child Care Leave to women employees anymore! This is the approach of the Government. We shall protest strongly against this game of the Government.
