Sub: Regarding Cadre Review Case-Link it to Presentation on Technological Development
Respected Sir,
You may be aware that Dte. vide circular no.1/5/2010-SR dated 09-11-2010 has invited General Secretaries of all recognized postal service association to give presentation to the staff side on Technological developments in the Department of Posts. You are perhaps one of the invitee for 23/11/2010. The presentation will be made by Technology, Mail Business and corporate Planning Divisions on their respective subjects in the presence of Secretary (Post).The officers here, in their projection, will focus how Department of Posts is on the verge of conversion into a dynamic organization with projects like changing ambience of the offices, providing good working environment to the staff, providing comfort to potential customers or visitors. The end point will be a request to all of you to make various long lasting projects like Digitization of Records, Core Banking, Mail Optimization, Consumer Price Index, Aadhaar Technology, Biometric systems etc, a success. No doubt it is the responsibility of working class to implement these projects in right prospective and as per expectation of bureaucrats. But at the same time it is the responsibility of the officers to provide best possible solution to our demands also. Yes, I am talking about cadre review for 245 posts that has direct link for implementation of technological covenant.
When Directorate can add 14 JAG posts and 15 SAG posts by abolishing 47 STS posts only in the name of so called Technological projects then where is the snag to up-upgrade 245 Group ‘B’ post for IP/ASP. These additions at higher level come when the Department itself acknowledges that volume of mails handled has come down drastically during the last two decades. Now on paper it has been shown that these posts are being used to improve efficiency by implementing technological promises. If this is the position than JAG/SAG level officers should be directly accountable for maintaining the efficiency of the unit for implementation of projects and not IP/ASP or PSS Group ‘B’ officers. The creation of several posts of Directors/Postmasters General for ‘Business Development’ is also not too old and forgettable from our mind. But all these posts seem to be created with the only supposed reason to give earlier time-bound promotion to IPoS officers and no thought has been given to improve the efficiency of the organization. By implementing five successive cadre reviews for IPoS officers, the Department of Posts is now over burdened with multi-layer officer oriented administrative set up with no accountability. So IP/ASPs have every right to ask for second cadre review, a proposal that has undergone several changes in principle is hanging for the past 21 years.
At grass root level total responsibility for successful implementation of these technological schemes are virtually transferred to IP/ASP or Supdts for implementation. In some of the projects like PMU, Aadhaar Dte has asked circles to appoint one exclusive nodal officer to monitor these projects and no other work should entrusted to them. But no body is thinking from where these officers will come. Why Directorate is not creating 245 posts already cleared under cadre review for utilization in technological driven projects as has been done in creating 14 JAG and 15 SAG posts. Is it not the duty of the association to ask directorate to consider our genuine demands?
It is otherwise also an open exude that there has been substantial increase in the duties and responsibility of IP/ASP due to advancement of technology on India Post-but this has not been recognized or remunerated in any manner in our case, may it be a IP GP case or cadre review case. In view of above I request you to kindly take up cadre review matter with directorate, else ask Directorate not to issue directions to circles for appointing exclusive nodal office for each project from Group ‘B’ officers. It will be better if a letter is given to directorate before 23/11/2010.
With regards,
(Hari Mohan)
