Agenda for four-monthly meeting with Chief PMG

No suggestion from any member came for agenda for four-monthly meeting with Chief PMG. The CS has taken up the following three agenda for ensuing four-monthly meeting to be held on 14.02.2009.
1. Request for enhancement of the ceiling of the cost of Brief Cases being supplied to Inspectorial Staff and for reducing the periodicity of supply.

Brief: Each Inspectorial Staff of the Circle is supplied with a Brief Case within a cost of Rs.1000/- once in four years for use in connection with official duties. The cost of Brief Case being so supplied was last revised about 7 years ago in 2002. While the cost of living has gone up manifold due to constant increase of Consumer Price Index the ceiling fixed for Brief Case has remained static for more than 7 years now. The Association, therefore, requests revision of ceiling of the cost of the brief case to Rs.2000/- from the existing ceiling of Rs.1000/-, and for reducing the periodicity of supply to once in two years in place of once in four years.

2. Request for Provision of Personal Computers to all Inspectorial Staff in the Circle at the Department’s cost.

Brief: The Inspectorial Staff, particularly those working in Sub-Divisions have not been provided with PCs. While the Department is increasingly modernized with computerization, the IPs and ASPs having supervisory role in the management of post office are kept out the provision of supply of PCs for which they are unable to acquire basic knowledge relating to computer / computerization. This is resulting in ineffective supervision, leading to inadequate job satisfaction. As a majority of the ASPs continue to work outside computer environment they find extremely difficult to cope up with the computerization related work when they get officiating in PS Gr. B posts. Without PCs, whatever training on computerization is not helping due to lack of practice. As no PC is supplied, the Inspectorial staff depend entirely on manual mode to attend day to day work including writing of IRs/VRs, correspondences and other reports with much difficulty and time-consuming process, having insufficient time for other important work.

The Association, therefore, requests the Circle Administration to provide PCs to Inspectorial staff in the Circle.

3. Request for supply of a set of FRSR published by M/s Swamy Publications to all Inspectorial Staff.
Brief:
Consequent upon implementation of 6th CPC Report, FRSRs have undergone a lot of changes. The changes have been incorporated in the compilations of M/s Swamy Publications, Chennai which are used as reference books by the Govt. Departments. Inspectorial staff are required to keep themselves updated on the changes in the FRSRs and TA, Leave, Pension Rules etc. for day to day discharge of their duties. It is therefore, requested that all Inspectorial Staff in the Circle may kindly be provided with a set of FRsSRs and Compilations on TA, Pension, Leave Rules etc and be allowed to subscribe to monthly journal-Swamy News-an authoritative publication from highly acclaimed M/s Swamy Publishers, Chennai- at the Department’s cost.
