A UNIQUE WAY OF PROTEST "BLOOD DONATION"

EVEN THE INCOME TAX CR PROPOSALS ARE IN THE VERGE OF BEING IMPLEMENTED, IT IS HIGH TIME FOR US TO LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT UNIQUE AGITATIONAL PROGRAM THEREFORE AS SUGGESTED BY ONE OF OUR MEMBER I REQUEST THE ASSOCIATIONS TO IMPLEMENT THE FOLLOWING FOR BETTER RESULTS AND IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE AUTHORITIES AS WELL AS MEDIA.

Appeal 2 Govt

Young aspiring graduates, enter the Department as Inspectors, after qualifying the National level recruitment exam like Staff Selection Commission exam, looking for a bright future. But it is pathetic, for many of them, as they have  realized  it too late that they shall retire with only one functional promotion in the entire career span of their Government Service, with the existing policies. The reason being  STAGNATION in a single cadre, spreading over decades, which is alarming and disheartening. The fact is that such stagnations differ from Zone to Zone. Some of the worst affected Zones, being Pune, where a 1992 Batch Inspector is still awaiting his first ever promotion. With the current pace, it might take another one year to get promoted. Its an alarming  wait of 22 years, which is totally ridiculous, and belittling an officer. Though the Government has implemented the cash compensation scheme through MACP, as a temporary solution for such staggering stagnations, it cannot be equated with the JOY of getting a Promotion. Its a moral boost for the officer and the family. Its rejuvenating the working force for the Department as well.  The ongoing Cadre Restructuring proposal could have removed this HUGE stagnation persistent in the cadres of Inspectors and Superintendents. Had it been a reality, even the subordinate cadres would have benefited. But this much talked CR seems to be a distant dream, the way it is being handled, over the past several years. The Associations are putting their best efforts to get justice to their members by adopting various agitation programs like boycotting the Excise day celebrations, Budget days, relay hunger strikes, wearing black badges as Protests, mass resignations, etc., besides fighting out the various issues in the Court of law.  All these efforts should be sincerely appreciated, as they are the part of the struggle to get the final result. 

 

                Can we all come together, irrespective of our Cadres we belong to,  and think something new. The Associations are always in the forefront, and members persuade them to get the best results. It appears that even the Members contribution in Body and Soul is equally important  to  bring force to our movement. Lets think of placing an “APPEAL” before the Department/ Government. Well you shall ask whats new in this.  This “APPEAL”   be tagged with a “Blood Donation Drive”. By this Appeal, the officers can once again resolve to PLEDGE their devotion and solidarity towards their Duties and the Nation at Large. In support of their Pledge, the officers may volunteer to donate “Blood”, so as  to reach out to the common man by saving a life, which is a part of the Nation building process. The participation of the members, in this unique way,  will be a big driving force to once again emphasize and  press for our genuine demands. This thought is driven from  our National leader Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, who once said…” Give me blood and I will give you freedom”. This APPEAL along with the Blood donation drive will be with three prime objectives:

 

1.       SAVING a valuable life;

2.       A PLEDGE , Expressing their  Devotion & Solidarity towards their Duties & the Nation at large;

3.    APPEAL to RESTORE DIGNITY by considering the Charter of Demands which are JUST demands, so as to remove stagnation, by implementing Cadre restructuring, removing regional disparities by bringing base cadre seniority for promotions to IRS Cadre, minimum 3-4 functional promotions for Insprs./ Supdts. in one’s  career span.
