Sub : General guidelines – 4 on indefinite strike
Ref : JAC meeting held on 23.01.2010 at Pune and the earlier letters on the subject

Sir / Madam,

In continuation to guidelines 1, 2 and 3 issued by JAC with regard to the implementation of the indefinite strike, the following points are also added for the information and compliance of all the Officers, Principals and staff of JNVs / R.O. / NLIs and Hqrs.

1) Due to the proposed indefinite strike, huge pressure is anticipated from NVS Hqrs. and Regional Offices to sabotage the same, in order to prove that bureaucracy always has an upper hand. Principals may be given instructions by NVS to keep away from the strike and ensure the conduct of JNVST as usual. Let us remember the fact that we are in a stage of “do or die” and reached a “point of no return”.
2) The only way by which one can impress on the Government the dire necessity to implement the genuine and just demands is to close down the JNVs with effect from 1st February 2010. Under no circumstances the pressure exerted by the NVS to take different decision by the Principals is to be acceded to. In other words, to make this strike a success, students are to be sent home positively by 31st January 2010.
3) The Principals and staff can also expect pressure from the District Administration to make the functioning of the JNV normal. It is the joint venture of members of the staff and Principal that would make things happen.
4) Courage exhibited by people in the field alone will bring rewards. “A vision without action is a day dream, Action without vision is a nightmare”. The vision of the employees is to be made a reality for which a very committed action is a pre-requisite. Thus act as expected by the Joint Action Committee and no deviation be allowed to take place so that we achieve our goal and dream of GPF-cum-Pension Scheme.
5) As Principals, you must think of the least paid employees of your Vidyalaya like Group D employees, mess helpers, LDCs, Cooks, Drivers, ECPs who dedicate their lives for the Navodaya system and will retire empty handed without pensionary benefits. Our actions should be oriented towards securing their lives as well as ours. “Any administrator should look at the services rendered to the poorest of the poor” was the vision of Mahatma Gandhiji. Principals/Officers should imbibe this spirit.
6) On the morning of 1st February 2010, the sun rise should not only be a beautiful miracle of nature, but should also be an energy to dispel the darkness of the inner mind of NVS and spread light to many employees for the future days. If this has to happen, Principals should be bold enough to face all eventualities and stand together in the crucial times of possible turbulence. While this letter is written sitting in Regional Office at Pune, we could read the enlightening words of Shri O.N.Singh, ex-Commissioner of NVS inscribed on the inner walls of R.O Pune, “ Together we can do it”.

With warm regards,
Thanking You,

Yours truly,
