New GS Sri Roop Chand

The 36th All India Conference of the Association was held 3-4 April 2010. This was preceded by CWC meeting on 02.04.2010. Delhi Circle hosted the conference in a befitting manner. Sri Roop Chand, ASP, Speed Post Centre, New Delhi who was one of the Asst. General Secretaries in the outgoing body was elected as the new General Secretary for a term of two years (2010-2012).  Sri Dinesh Khare of Karnataka Circle was elected as the new President, CHQ. Sri Pitabasa Jena of Orissa Circle was elected as Asst. General Secretary-II. Orissa Circle Branch of AIAIASP congratulates the new set of Office-bearers and hopes that the new CHQ body will bring glory for the Association through its noble efforts. Orissa Circle Branch is always there to extend its best possible cooperation to the CHQ as it has done in previous years.

Ms. Radhika Doraiswamy, Secretary(Posts) was kind enough to address the delegates in the Open Session on 03.04.2010. Among other things, she mentioned that the Department of Posts had submitted proposal for upgradation of GP of IPs, ASPs and PS Gr.B twice but the Finance Ministry did not accept the proposal. She added that she would take further steps for upgradation of GP of IPs.

The issue of upgradation of GP of IP was deliberated upon vividly in the General Body meeting during the AIC. Unanimity on the question of merger of IP and ASP cadre or ASP and PS Gr.B Cadre could not be reached. However, out of 19 Circles represented in the AIC, 11 Circles including Orissa gave opinion supporting merger of IP and ASP cadres. NE Circle  went with the opinion of majority Circles. Six Circles opined for merger of ASP and PS Gr.B cadres. One Circle opined for maintaining the status quo.

The General body empowered the CHQ to take steps in the direction of getting the GP of IPs upgraded to Rs.4600/- by way of merger of IP and ASP cadres if such a proposal comes up before the Association as a necessary condition for upgradation of GP of IPs to Rsa.4600/-. However, it was resolved to get the following conditions fulfilled at the same time.

1. The merged cadre should be given nomenclature as ASP with Gazetted  status.
2. The ASP promotion already given to senior IPs should be ignored as promotion for benefits under MACPS
3. The merged cadre should get the upgraded GP of Rs.4600/- from 01.01.2006. 

It is learnt from the source of the new GS that a delegation from the Association side including  the new GS and the former GS Sri S Samuel held discussion in a meeting with Secretary (Posts), Member (P) and DDG(Estt) on 05.04.2010 on the question of upgradtion of GP of IPs. Directorate showed keenness to submit the proposal to Ministry of Finance again.
