PRESS RELEASE
The Joint action Committee of employees associations of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, in its meeting held at Chandigarh on 1st October 2009, has decided the following in order to draw the attention of the Govt. of India for the dare necessity to introduce GPF Cum Pension scheme under CCS Pension rules-1972 and 10% special allowance to the non teaching staff.
1. To observe 2nd November to 7th November as Black badge Days to express our resentments, by all the employees of 576 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas,Regional Offices and Head Quarters office of NVS.
2. A mass rally will be held at Janthar Mandir,New Delhi on 9th November 2009.
3. A Token Strike will be held on 16th November 2009 in all the 576 Vidyalayas, Regional Offices and Head Quarters office of NVS by all the employees including Officers & Principals.
Scheme of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas
The scheme for the establishment of Jawahar navodaya
Vidyalayas (JNVs) was approved by Union Cabinet in August1985 to give shape to the vision of the then Prime Minister Sri.Rajiv Gandhi to have a residential school system for the talented children, predominantly belonging to rural areas. The Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) was established as an autonomous body under the administrative control of Dept. of Secondary and Higher education, Ministry of Human Resource Development. JNVs are fully residential, co-educational institutions providing free education including boarding and lodging, textbooks, uniforms etc. up to the senior secondary stage. Thus Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are addressing the needs of talented rural children of India who may otherwise be deprived of quality education. At present there are 576 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, one in each district across the country except in Tamil Nadu.
Though the Govt. of India has approved the extension of pay structure of Central Govt. employees to the teaching and non teaching staff of JNVs, when it comes to the question of implementation of GPF Cum Pension Scheme to the employees as per 1972 CCS (pension) rules in spite of repeated requests during the last 2 decades, the same has not been extended. The Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti has also adopted Govt. of India rules and regulations on service matters for its employees mutantis- mutandis vide order no: F6-1/92-NVS(Admin) dated 30/03/1992 and also brought these employees under the purview of Central Administrative Tribunal.
Many representations were given during the last 20 years but it has not brought any fruits. Now Novodaya Vidyalaya samiti has introduced new pension scheme to all the employees who have joined right from the inception where as even as per the Govt. of India’s instructions the new pension scheme is not applicable to those who have joined prior to 01/01/2004. The legitimate right of the employees who have joined prior to 01/01/2004 is GPF Cum Pension Scheme.
When a delegation of Joint action Committee (JAC) met Sri. Kapil Sibalji Minister of Human Resource Development on 10 August 2009, he had promised to examine the rational behind the issue. Yet no positive outcome has been found.
Employees of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalays across the country observed a ‘Hunger Work Day’ on 5th September 2009 in order to bring our resentments in the notice of NVS and Govt. of India.
Rational behind demanding GPF cum Pension scheme for the employees
of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti who have joined prior to 01-01-2004.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas were started in 1985.
2. Initially employees were taken on deputation from various pensionable departments like Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Sainik school, State Govt. Institutions, different Departments and from various Ministries.
3. When CPF scheme was introduced in 1991, employees were not consulted with.
4. During 1995 Ministry of HRD had written thrice to the then Director of Navodaya Vidyalaya samiti to introduce provisions similar to CCS pension rules 1972 as it facilitate imposing of penalty on its employees for the act of commissions and omissions committed during their service period (refer letter Do no 8F43/95-UT-II dated 31st August 1995 of Deputy Secretary, letter Do no. C33011/10/81-vig dated 17 July 1995 of Joint Secretary and Chief Vigilance Officer, MHRD Dept.of Education, Do letter no.C33011/10/81-vig dated 10th October 1995 of Under Secretary Vigilance Section of MHRD reminding again to furnish the action taken report on or before 16th October 1995) .Inspiteof these three letters issued by MHRD no action was taken by Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti to implement GPF cum Pension Scheme to its employees.
Are the employees at fault for not taking up necessary steps by the then administrators of NVS?
5. Extract of General Financial rules of Govt. of India rule 149(4)(IV) states as follows ‘ All Autonomous Bodies or Grantee Institutions which receive more that 50 % of their recurring expenditure in the form of Grant-in-aid should formulate terms and conditions of service of their employees so that by and large they are broadly comparable to those applicable to similar categories of employees in Central Government.’ Since NVS is provided 100% grant-in- aid, by Ministry of Human Resources development, the employees are eligible for pensionary benefits as available to employees of similarly placed organizations like, Kendriya Vidyalayas, Central Tibetan Schools, NCERT, CBSE and institutions under UGC.
6. Relevant portion of extract from IV Pay Commission report para 9.8 reveals that in so far as CPF beneficiaries in service are concerned it is recommended that they should be deemed to have come over to the Pension scheme unless they specifically opt out to continue under CPF Scheme. The Ministry of Personal Public Grievences & Pension vide office memorandum no.4-1/87 P1C1 dated 01/05/1987 conveyd the acceptance of recommendations of 4th pay commission and allowed all the central Govt. employees and employees of Central Autonomous Bodies to change over from CPF Scheme to Pension Scheme. However this option was not extended to the employees of NVS where as the same was extended to the departments like IITs and IIMs.
7. Many institutions like National open school(NIOS), Kendriya Vidyalayas ,Sainik schools, Tibetan Central school who have less working hours compared to teaching and non-teaching staff of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are granted GPF cum Pension scheme.
8. The employees of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are bound to work even after the normal schooling hours daily and also on Sundays and holidays taking care of the activities of the students under curricular and co-curicular activities being residential in nature. These members of staff are also responsible for the safety and security of 560 students in each Vidyalaya spread over 576 school situated in rural areas one in each district of India.
9. Organizations like Konkan railways, IITs, IIMS, Punjab University have been granted GPF cum Pension schemes to those employees who have joined prior to 01-01-2004.
10. The review committee set up by Ministry of HRD under the chairmanship of Y N Chadurvedi on the functioning of JNVs inter-alia recommended grant of CCS pension rules 1972 to the staff of Navodaya Vidyalaya samiti.
11. The Department Related standing committees on HRD, under the chairmanship of Shri. Vayalar Ravi, MP(Presently Minister of Overseas Indian affairs) in its 154th report presented the Rajya sabha on 3rd March 2005 and in Lok sabha on 2nd March 2005 has strongly recommended to extend pensionary benefits as it has been done to Kendriya Vidyalayas.
12. The departmental Related Standing Committee on HRD in its 184th report on Navodaya Vidyalaya samiti tabled on both Rajya sabha and Lok sabha on 30th November 2006 reteriated the implementation of pensionary benefits to the employees of NVs.
13. The 198th report on Department Related Standing Committee also has strongly recommended the Govt. to introduce pension scheme on the same lines as being extended to Kendriya Vidyalayas.
14. Your kind attention is also drawn to the letter no. F5-7/98-UT-2 dated 25th August 2004 addressed to the commissioner NVS New Delhi along with a copy of clarification from Ministry of Finance ,Department of Economic Affairs ECB and PR Division clarifying that the New Pension scheme can be introduced as a replacement to the old GPF cum Pension scheme. Conversely speaking having introduced the new pension scheme to employees of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, Govt. has accepted in Principle that GPF cum Pension scheme should be bestowed with.
15. In the recent order of Ministry of HRD vide DO no.F4-26/97-UJ (A) dated 10th July 2009 issued by Director of (Higher Education) has decided to agree to allow GPF cum Pension scheme to the employees of 5 inter University Councils including National Assessment and Accreditation Council who have joined prior to 01-01-2004 in the respective departments and the expenditure on this account will be borne by UGC.
16. The above facts clearly justifies the demand of introducing GPF cum Pension scheme to the employees of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalaya samiti who relentlessly work day and night to mould the future mentors of this country for decades together and participate in the Nation building process.
It is under the above circumstances that the issue was raised through various Members of Parliament in the notice ofMinister of HRD and Finance Minister and authorities of Navodaya
Vidyalaya Samiti for the implementation of GPF Cum Pension scheme to the employees.
Can employees of any Central Government organization wait for more than 2 decades to get the legitimate right of GPF Cum Pension scheme? The above circumstances have forced the employees to adopt for organizing the following to express the frustration.
1. Observing ‘Black badge days’ from 2nd to 7th November 2009.
2. Mass rally at Delhi on 9th November 2009 .
3. A ‘token strike’ on 16th November 2009.
The Joint Action Committee feels that the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti & Govt. of India will not drag us to a strike situation as the employees are asking only for settling the issue of social security of the employees after retirement in spite of the fact that the employees of these residential schools work round the clock in taking care of safety, security, education and reconstituting the personality of students even on Sundays and holidays.

The Hon’ble Minister of HRD,
Govt of India,
Room No 313,

New Delhi,110001.
Respected Sir,
Sub : Grant of residential allowance to all Non-teaching staff working at JNVs at par with the Teaching Staff – reg.
Reference : F No. 29 /JAC/2009-10 of Joint action Committee Dt: 06-10-2009
We may kindly be permitted to bring to your attention the issue of non-teaching staff working at Vidyalaya level in JNVs under NVS for immediate redressal. The Hon’ble Commissioner NVS New Delhi vide his letter : F.No:20-1/2008-NVS(Estt-II) dated 16-10-2008 has proposed grant of residential allowance @10% to all the members of staff working at JNVs in consonance with the assurances given by Hon’ble Commissioner, NVS and other authorities from time to time when the grievances of the staff were brought to their notice through memoranda, Conventions and personal meetings etc., in the light of the additional burden of duties and longer hours of duties cast on the staff of JNVs in the residential set up when compared to day schools.
In the same context we seek to bring to your notice that the then Hon’ble Commissioner, NVS had represented the issues of the staff of the JNVs to the VI CPC, enumerating therein the justification for grant of higher pay scales, residential allowance, rural area allowances, children education allowance and teaching allowance besides grant of CCS Pension 1972 to the staff.
At the backdrop of the above representations the VI CPC has also considered the problems and recommended for grant of residential allowance to the staff working in JNVs at vidyalaya level.
The Ministry of HRD has approved grant of residential allowance only to the teaching staff and ignored the meritorious services rendered by the non-teaching staff of the Vidyalayas. The non-teaching staff of JNVs from Sweeper and Mess Helper to Office Superintendent work for more than 11 hours per day for entire 7 days week, thus have played pivotal role in successful performance of JNVs which has been clearly explained in the letter addressed by the Hon’ble Commissioner, NVS, New Delhi dated 29-12-2006 to the VI CPC. The All India Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas Principals’ Forum has also recommended the issue enumerating the paramount importance of all Non-Teaching staff working at Vidyalaya level and their duties & responsibilities in the vidyalaya campus round the clock.
We would further like to bring your favourable attention that the non-teaching staff of JNVs are compelled to stay in the JNV campus along with the teaching staff and share all the hardships together with other staff. The non-teaching staff are foregoing HRA and in addition paying license fee for the free quarters allotted to them. They are working even on public holidays and festivals and extending support to the Vidyalayas. Thus, their services cannot be undermined and, hence, are to be rewarded.
Therefore, we humbly request you to reexamine the issue of extending 10% special allowance to the non-teaching staff and issue necessary orders and oblige.

Subject : Grant of NPL Bonus to teachers of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya-regarding
Ref:
1) Office Memorandum No:7/24/2007/EMA of Ministry of finance, department of Expenditure EIII(A) Branch dt 28/08/2009 granting Non-productivity Linked Bonus to Central Government Employees.
2) No:7/22/2008-EIIIA of Department of Finance, Department of Expenditure dt 02/09/2009- extension of orders of Bonus to Autonomy Bodies.
3) F No: 125-8/2003-04/KVS( Budget) dt 09/09/2009 of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, New Delhi extending the benefit of the orders referred under (1) and (2) to all the eligible employees of KVS as per the Govt of India orders including teaching staff.
4) Letter no: 6-22/2001-02/NVS(F&A) dt 08/10/2009 of NVS ,New Delhi extending the benefits of order no: 1 & 2 to only non-teaching staff of NVS .
Respected Sir,
Kindly refer to the orders cited above regarding extension of Grant of NPL Bonus to the Central Government employees and employees of autonomous organization fully or partially funded by Govt. of India.
In this connection the following facts are submitted for necessary action at your end.
NVS vide order (4) referred above has extended the benefit of bonus only to non-teaching staff of samiti.
KVS vide order (3) referred above has extended the benefit of bonus to all the employees as per the eligibility spelt out by the Govt.
When teachers of Kendriya Vidyalayas are extended the benefit of Bonus, it is beyond the comprehension of any body, why the same benefit is not extended to teachers of NVS.
The last para of orders of NVS extending the benefit of Bonus for the year 2008-09 to the non-teaching staff, states that the matter is referred to the Ministry of HRD for clarifications.
Sir, this is an example of discriminatory approach of NVS officers where as KVS implements the orders with a straight forward interpretation. There is an attitudinal problem with our officers in NVS Headquarters. Whenever there is a benefit for employees, the same is sabotaged by delay tactics. The following are the examples.
a) As per the recommendations of 6th pay Commission, Group D employees, who have passed class X are to be granted the next higher scale, which has been implemented by KVS where as NVS has not done the same( Refer orders of 6th pay Commission and KVS letter no:FNo:F1108K-4/2003-KVSHQ(Admin) dt 21/11/2008).
b) When 5th pay Commission recommended to double the special allowance of 150 /- granted to the principals, the same was not taken up by NVS for implementation.
c) Most of the teachers who have completed 16 to 18 yrs of service in Hyderabad Region didn’t get the benefit of senior scale to be given after completion of 12 years of service as per 5th pay commission reports. The same is extended to all the teachers in other regions where as the case of Hyderabad region has been referred to the Ministry is the version of NVS Headquarters office. When teachers have completed two 21 days in service programs and 12 yrs of service what stops from NVS to grant the senior scale is a mystery.
If the special allowance of 10% granted to teachers of NVS by 6th Pay Commission is a point of doubt for grant of Bonus to teaching staff. We should like to implore on your good self that this special allowance is not an incentive and any interpretation of the same within the purview of incentive is not only misinterpretation and will not hold good in front of Law.
As per the orders (1) & (2) above all the non gazetted group B employees are entitled to receive the NPL Bonus where as section officers whose grade pay is Rs 4200(similar to that of OS) are also entitled for bonus. All the more no employee of group B cadre in an autonomous organization under Govt. of India is holding the gazetted post, they aught to be considered as non gazetted for whom orders (1) & (2) are applicable.
Sir, the intention of this letter is to request your good self kindly to examine the grant of Bonus to teachers and all group B employees of samiti and issue necessary orders urgently as it has been done by KVS authorities.
We shall remain highly obliged to you for your favorable action.
Thanking you,

Subject : Grant of NPL Bonus to teachers of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya-regarding
Ref:
1) Office Memorandum No:7/24/2007/EMA of Ministry of finance, department of Expenditure EIII(A) Branch dt 28/08/2009 granting Non-productivity Linked Bonus to Central Government Employees.
2) No:7/22/2008-EIIIA of Department of Finance, Department of Expenditure dt 02/09/2009- extension of orders of Bonus to Autonomy Bodies.
3) F No: 125-8/2003-04/KVS( Budget) dt 09/09/2009 of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, New Delhi extending the benefit of the orders referred under (1) and (2) to all the eligible employees of KVS as per the Govt of India orders including teaching staff.
4) Letter no: 6-22/2001-02/NVS(F&A) dt 08/10/2009 of NVS ,New Delhi extending the benefits of order no: 1 & 2 to only non-teaching staff of NVS .
Respected Sir,
Kindly refer to the orders cited above regarding extension of Grant of NPL Bonus to the Central Government employees and employees of autonomous organization fully or partially funded by Govt. of India.
In this connection the following facts are submitted for necessary action at your end.
NVS vide order (4) referred above has extended the benefit of bonus only to non-teaching staff of samiti.
KVS vide order (3) referred above has extended the benefit of bonus to all the employees as per the eligibility spelt out by the Govt.
When teachers of Kendriya Vidyalayas are extended the benefit of Bonus, it is beyond the comprehension of any body, why the same benefit is not extended to teachers of NVS.
The last para of orders of NVS extending the benefit of Bonus for the year 2008-09 to the non-teaching staff, states that the matter is referred to the Ministry of HRD for clarifications.
Sir, this is an example of discriminatory approach of NVS officers where as KVS implements the orders with a straight forward interpretation. There is an attitudinal problem with our officers in NVS Headquarters. Whenever there is a benefit for employees, the same is sabotaged by delay tactics. The following are the examples.
a) As per the recommendations of 6th pay Commission, Group D employees, who have passed class X are to be granted the next higher scale, which has been implemented by KVS where as NVS has not done the same( Refer orders of 6th pay Commission and KVS letter no:FNo:F1108K-4/2003-KVSHQ(Admin) dt 21/11/2008).
b) When 5th pay Commission recommended to double the special allowance of 150 /- granted to the principals, the same was not taken up by NVS for implementation.
c) Most of the teachers who have completed 16 to 18 yrs of service in Hyderabad Region didn’t get the benefit of senior scale to be given after completion of 12 years of service as per 5th pay commission reports. The same is extended to all the teachers in other regions where as the case of Hyderabad region has been referred to the Ministry is the version of NVS Headquarters office. When teachers have completed two 21 days in service programs and 12 yrs of service what stops from NVS to grant the senior scale is a mystery.
If the special allowance of 10% granted to teachers of NVS by 6th Pay Commission is a point of doubt for grant of Bonus to teaching staff. We should like to implore on your good self that this special allowance is not an incentive and any interpretation of the same within the purview of incentive is not only misinterpretation and will not hold good in front of Law.
As per the orders (1) & (2) above all the non gazetted group B employees are entitled to receive the NPL Bonus where as section officers whose grade pay is Rs 4200(similar to that of OS) are also entitled for bonus. All the more no employee of group B cadre in an autonomous organization under Govt. of India is holding the gazetted post, they aught to be considered as non gazetted for whom orders (1) & (2) are applicable.
Sir, the intention of this letter is to request your good self kindly to examine the grant of Bonus to teachers and all group B employees of samiti and issue necessary orders urgently as it has been done by KVS authorities.
We shall remain highly obliged to you for your favorable action.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Sub : Decision of Staff to abstain from exercising option for New Pension Scheme
Respected Sir,
The Joint Action Committee comprising All India Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Principals Forum, All India Navodaya Vidyalaya Staff Association,All India Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti Staff Welfare Association & All Inidia Navodaya Vidyalaya Catering Assistants Association has unanimously decided at the JAC meeting held in Chandigargh on 1st October,2009 that all the staff who joined before 1.01.2004 shall invariably abstain from exercising option for New Pension Scheme on the following grounds :
1. Since NVS was established more than 2 decades back,having been accepted all CCS rules mutantis mutandis and derive 100% garant in aid from the Central Government the staff of NVS are legitimately eligible for the GPF cum Pension Scheme.
2. The government had given several chances to NVS to switch over from CPF to Pension Scheme whereas NVS did’nt take appropriate action to communicate the same to employees for switching over thereby the CCS Pension Rules 1972 was not made applicable to the employees.
3. It was without the consent of the employees NVS had opted for CPF instead of pension scheme.
4. Several Parliamentary Standing Committees had strongly recommended the old pension scheme to us and questioned the rationale behind in continuing CPF.
5. When the sister concern likeKVS,Sianik schools,Central Tibetan schools,National Open Schools are entitled for the old pension scheme there is no rationale behind opting for NPS for NVS staff.
6. The pension rule states that GPF Cum Pension Scheme is applicable to those who joined in service prior to 01.01.2004 and not for those who joined on or after 01.01.2004 thus the present dictum is violation of the basic tenet.
7. The NPS does not guarantee gratuity to the employees as such the staff will suffer grave financial loss on retirement
8. The NPS does not clearly and definitively spell out the benefits an employee will get in case of death or disability occurs before retirement,
9. The NPS provides only 20% of the acrued amount to a person who happens to retire before 60 years of age,thus not guaranteeing pension for a minimum service period.
Furthermore the staff who joined NVS on or after 01.01.2004 have also decided to keep away from opting for the NPS as NVS has given a provision that all those joined on or before 1st April,2009 can exercise the option for New Pension Scheme explicitly meaning that those who joined on or after 01.01.2004 and before 01-04-2009 can continue to be under CPF Scheme.
Hence ,on behalf of all the staff of NVS, the Joined Action Committee comprising all the above service Associations bring the above matter to your kind notice that employees have decided not to opt for New Pension Scheme.
This is for your kind information and necessary action to impliment GPF Cum Pension Scheme to all the employees of NVS
Thanking you,

The Members of the organizing committee will reach New Delhi by 7th of November 2009 evening and make arrangements for packed lunch and water bottle etc. for the members attending the rally. The expenditure will be borne by all the Associations equally.
4.One day Token Strike: 16th November 2009(MONDAY) The JAC after detailed discussions and deliberations decided to go for one day Token Strike on 16th November 2009 through out all the JNVs.,ROs,NLIs and Headquarters of NVS. For this a Notice will be issued to the Chairman/HRM, Commissioner NVS and Chairman of the Vidyalaya Management Committees by the JAC by 06.10.2009. For this the parents will be taken into confidence by way of holding the PTC meetings on the Ist Saturday in November 2009 and they will be apprised of the difficulties likely to be faced by the students on 16th November 2009. The parents will be informed about the step motherly treatment being meted out to the NVS employees and seek their full cooperation on the day of TOKEN STRIKE.
On the day of token strike the whole staff of the Navodaya Vidyalayas (Principals, Teaching and Non Teaching including Mess Staff) will be on complete strike and the whole system will be paralyzed. No activity will take place. 3 to 5 of the Staff of the vidyalayas will move to the respective Regional Offices a day before and will organize a Mass Dharna infront of Regional Office from 9.00am to 2.00PM. Thereafter, they will move towards the Governor House in Procession and handover a Memorandum to H.E. The Governor of the State. Similarly, atleast 10members from each Regional Office, will move to New Delhi to stage a Dharna infront of Hqrs alongwith the staff from the said office. Vidyalaya units will also stage a Dharna in front of the main gate of the Vidyalaya from 9.00 am to 2.00pm and thereafter move to the District Hqrs to hand over a Memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner/District Magistrate. Similar Memorandums will be handed over to the Member of Parliaments on the same day. A draft Memorandum will be available on the web site/blog which will be downloaded and signed by the respective representatives of the Vidyalaya units and handed over to the DC/DM and MPs.
Signing the option forms for NPS 2004 The issue regarding signing the option forms for opting New Pension Scheme circulated by NVS also came up for discussions. It was unanimously decided that no employee will sign the option because neither the employees working before 1.1.2004 are ready to accept the New Pension Scheme nor the employees who have joined after 1.1.2004 are being benefited because the Samiti has distorted the scheme by effecting it w.e.f. 01.09.2009. Therefore, no staff member will sign the options and even those who have earlier signed will send a letter withdrawing it. The JAC will also convey its decision in this regard to the Management immediately in writing.
Sh. N.K. Pahwa, NVS(RO) Chandigarh extended vote of thanks to one and all.

For this a Notice will be issued to the Chairman/HRM, Commissioner NVS and Chairman of the Vidyalaya Management Committees by the JAC by 06.10.2009. For this the parents will be taken into confidence by way of holding the PTC meetings on the Ist Saturday in November 2009 and they will be apprised of the difficulties likely to be faced by the students on 16th November 2009.

No activity will take place. 3 to 5 of the Staff of the vidyalayas will move to the respective Regional Offices a day before and will organize a Mass Dharna infront of Regional Office from 9.00am to 2.00PM. Thereafter, they will move towards the Governor House in Procession and handover a Memorandum to H.E. The Governor of the State. Similarly, atleast 10members from each Regional Office, will move to New Delhi to stage a Dharna infront of Hqrs alongwith the staff from the said office. Vidyalaya units will also stage a Dharna in front of the main gate of the Vidyalaya from 9.00 am to 2.00pm and thereafter move to the District Hqrs to hand over a Memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner/District Magistrate. Similar Memorandums will be handed over to the Member of Parliaments on the same day. A draft Memorandum will be available on the web site/blog which will be downloaded and signed by the respective representatives of the Vidyalaya units and handed over to the DC/DM and MPs.
Signing the option forms for NPS 2004 The issue regarding signing the option forms for opting New Pension Scheme circulated by NVS also came up for discussions. It was unanimously decided that no employee will sign the option because neither the employees working before 1.1.2004 are ready to accept the New Pension Scheme nor the employees who have joined after 1.1.2004 are being benefited because the Samiti has distorted the scheme by effecting it w.e.f. 01.09.2009. Therefore, no staff member will sign the options and even those who have earlier signed will send a letter withdrawing it. The JAC will also convey its decision in this regard to the Management immediately in writing.
Sh. N.K. Pahwa, NVS(RO) Chandigarh extended vote of thanks to one and all.
