A meeting of the members of the Joint Action Committee has taken place with the Commissioner, NVS on 08.03.2010 with a view to review and re-assess the state of assurances given earlier to the Joint Action Committee.The Committee and the Commissioner discussed the progress of the two basic demands of NVS employees, i.e., pension and 10% allowance to non-teaching staff of JNVs. The Commissioner explained to the JAC that the matter is being repeatedly taken up by the Ministry of HRD with the Ministry of Finance replying to the objections and with new and detailed justification. Upon conclusion of the deliberations, it is established that things are moving in a positive direction in the Ministry of HRD.
