Gramin Dak Sevak are
Backbone of India Post, they are holder of Civil Post but their pay is as a
MGNREGS wages labor. No one considers this post as a permanent post, no one
takes any action to make them permanent. Their service condition is so poor and
is going to poorer compared to postal employee.
Recently Postal Department
issued an order to implement the GDS Pay Committee Report 2016 on 25.06.2018.
After checking the said implemented order no, one tells that this Kamalesh
Chandra Committee Report. Not a single recommendation implemented except the
proposed new TRCA slab. In this situation GDS are disappointed to see this
because they were in strike from 22nd may to 6th June 2018, they lost 16 days
TRCA to implement this committee report. So, it is a big question “Who is
Responsible for this Condition of GDS?”
GDS unions, AIPEU
GDS-NFPE, AIGDSU, NUGDS are blaming the Government of India and Government pass
this responsibility to DOP. A union of Postal Department called BMS is the
media to pass this responsibility by looking into the Government. But the Gramin
Dak Sevak of India are blaming the unions for this Condition of GDS.
This the analytical issue
that Who is Responsible for this Condition of GDS. Because no one takes this
issue seriously to resolve the issue they think that GDS are playing thing so
they enjoyed this Game.
So, here we try to
understand that the responsibility of GDSs Union, Government of India and
Department of Post. Because they are the players of this sensible game.
Responsibility
of Government :-
Government setup One-man
committee headed by Sri Kamlesh Chandra, Retired Member, Postal Services Board
was set up by the Government of India vide Ministry of Communications,
Department of Posts’ Resolution No. 17-13/2013-GDS dated 19.11.2015 for
examining the conditions of service and emoluments and other facilities
available to the Gramin Dak Sevaks(GDS). The committee had submitted its report
to the Government on 24.11.2016.
The committee had submitted its report to the Government on
24.11.2016 but government tooke more than 6 months to publish the said report
in India Post website by the pressure of Unions. Union took may program to
publish this report but they failed. Finally, they called two days Strike than
government published it in website.
After considering the
recommendation of committee report government kept it in hand. Many program of
action has been taken by GDS Unions but government did not take any action to
implement these recommendations. There had no any updates regarding where was the
report of committee. What was the present status of GDS pay committee?
Lastly GDS unions called
Indefinite Strike from 22nd may 2018. After continuing 16th days strike
Government approved this recommendation at cabinet on 6th June 2018. Actually
govt. had no any intention to Implement GDS Committee Report. Committee
submitted its report with the schedule time but Government took 19 months to
implement this report and GDS lost their 30 month’s Revised TRCA from
01.01.2016.
Responsibility
of Department: -
When committee submitted its
report to the Department of Post to review they cleared it that they received
the report. In October 2016, Union told the committee to consider the enhanced
bonus to the GDS. Committee recommend to the department to pay bonus to the GDS
as revised rate of CG employee bonus.
In this case department took
some time to pay revised bonus to the GDS. For this case union has a big role
to get bonus ceiling of Rs. 7000/-.
At the last time
Department took some time after approval of committee report at the cabinet
because cabinet approved committee report on 6th June 2018 and department
implemented it on 25th June 2018. But when released implementation order, there
was no any recommendation of GDS Committee except Revised TRCA Slab.
Responsibility
of Union: -
In this game Unions take
several program of action to implement the positive recommendation of GDS
Committee. But they did only program of action, they failed to know what is the
intention of government or department. GDS were in Indefinite Strike from 22nd
may to 6th June 2018 actively.
Union again failed to
know that what was in the approval report. If they knew that then would have
continued this Indefinite Strike until the implementations of positive
recommendation of GDS Committee Report.
Conclusion:
-
After analysis the whole
situations of GDS Pay Committee and the role of Government, Department and
Union. Now you can realize that Who is Responsible for this Condition of GDS?
but one thing that if Union takes any decision to proceed on strike in favor of
Gramin Dak Sevak, they have to notice only one demand “Regularization
of GDS”
