To
The
Hon’ble Director General
Department
of Posts, Dak Bhawan,
Samsad
Marg, New Delhi 110116
Dated
at Mumbai 400017, the 26/08/2014
Subject: Prayer for making Postmaster
Cadre as “Distinct Category” under Clause (c) of Rule 5 of Central Civil
Services (Recognition of Service Association) Rules, 1993 and recognition of
All India Association of Postmaster Cadre
Respected
Madam,
I beg to draw your kind attention on
the following facts for favour of your kind consideration and providing natural
justice to the officials of Postmaster Cadre.
Following line was mentioned in para 2
of the Directorate’s letter no. 4-17/2008-SPB-II dated 22.11.2010, “Thus, in
order to ensure that professionally qualified, trained and meritorious
officials head the key Post Offices, it has been decided to introduce a
separate cadre of Postmasters comprising the following grades by carving out
the posts from existing General Line posts as ordered vide this Directorate’s
letter No. 13-2/2010-PE-I dt. 03.02.2010”
Again, in view of the creator of our cadre,
Madam Radhika Doraiswamy, Hon’ble former DG Posts, Postmaster Cadre is the
front runners of the department and they are made to bring back the past glory
of the department vide her DO No. 1-28/2010- Trg dated 11/08/2011 addressed to
all new entrants of Postmaster Cadre.
We are recruited by merit (by
examination) not by promotion (on the basis of seniority cum fitness).
Our cadre is the only cadre in the Department of Post
for which an exclusive managerial training program has been designed and provided
by the department to make us professionally trained and to cope up with the
change management environment in the department.
We are heading the important Post Offices, in which
all type of services/products offered by the DOP are activated as well as
running smoothly.
We have adequate knowledge regarding computer, server,
and laptop including connectivity of computers which are forming part of
syllabus for LCDE for Postmaster Grade-I Examination.
We always take keen interest in implementing various projects
of the Department sufficiently better than time scale SPMs, LSG / HSG
Supervisors and we always remain in favour of administration in this regard.
We are taking most important role in mechanization of
postal services particularly migration to Core Banking Solution (CBS).
We never participate in any kind of strike/Bandh/Pen
down program, thus rendering uninterrupted services to the members of the
public. As a consequence, existing unions are now, not in a position to make
their strike / bundh programme successful upto that level as they desire.
Some of us belong to Group-C (Postmaster, Gr-I) while
others belong to Gr-B (Postmaster Gr-II, III & Sr Postmaster) in accordance
with the relevant Recruitment Rules.
It is also mentioned against Clarification 2 of the
Directorate’s letter F. No
4-17/2008-SPB-II dated 10th February, 2011, “In case it is decided
to discharge the probationer from Postmaster Grade-I and Grade-II, the official
will be reverted to General Line”. This itself inter-alia
clarifies that the Postmaster Cadre doesn’t belong to General Line in the
Postal Wing of the DOP.
As, presently, we don’t belong to General Line and our
cadre was created against the sweet will of the existing P3 unions, there is no
unions/associations to promote our common service interest in accordance with
Clause (b) of Rule 5 of CCS(RSA) Rules, 1993.
Therefore, in order to promote our common service
interest, we formed our All India Association of Postmaster Cadre (AIAPC) in
our 1st All India Conference held at Rusi Mehta Hall in Mumbai on
01.10.2012 in presence of more than one hundred delegates from different
circles.
We applied for recognition of our AIAPC vide
this association letter dated 15.10.2012, but till today, we didn’t receive any
communication from the Directorate in this regard.
Thereafter, in our 2nd All India Conference
held at OOPER RESTO LOUNGE , Jaipur on 17/08/2014, we have decided to
apply afresh for the recognition of our
association.
Therefore, in accordance with Clause (e) of Rule 5 of
CCS(RSA) Rules, 1993, I do hereby submit the Memorandum of our association,
Constitution bye-laws of AIAPC, names of
the office bearers (prepared in separate
sheet). Here I would like to inform that our total membership is now more than
700.
I, therefore, request before your kindness to
declare the Postmaster Cadre as “Distinct Category” in the Postal Wings. It
is also requested to render recognition to All India Association of
Postmaster Cadre under Rule 5 of CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993 and cause necessary
order for starting verification process
of our membership under Rule 7 of the said rule to enable us to
promote common service interest of our cadre.
We
solicit an early action in this regard. Thanking you,
I remain,
Yours faithfully,
S/d-
