THANK YOU ALL

The 36^th and 37^th Circle Conferences of the AIAIASP, Odisha Circle Branch Association, were held at Bhubaneswar on 04.11.2007 and 24.01.2010 respectively.  The present Circle Secretary alongwith his team of office-bearers and executive members served two terms in office consisting of four years since 04.11.2007. During last four years the Association has passed through many ups and downs. Instances are there where members wore black-badges at the initiative taken at Circle level to protest against the apathetic attitude of the Govt. towards IP cadre on a number of issues including upgradation of GP of IPs and payment of a pittance as honorarium for examination related duty. At Circle level notice for sit-in-dharana programmer was issued in connection with revision of telephone charges and other issues. In a number of cases the Circle Administration appreciated the points raised by the Association. Enhancement of monthly telephone charges, revision of costs for purchasing brief case, supply of a set of FRs & SRs and Disciplinary and Pension Rule Books, supply of Swamysnews, restoration of the post of Postmaster Puri HO back to IP line, timely DPC for promotion to the grade of ASP, better accommodation for some Sub-Divisional Offices are some of the areas in which the Circle Administration acted favourably in response to the demand placed by the Association. The Association is thankful to Circle Administration for the same. 

There were instances in which the Association had reason to feel that some of its members were treated unfairly by the Circle Administration. The Association brought all those cases to the notice of the Circle Administration. The Association did not hesitate to lodge strong protest with the Circle Administration. In all such activities, members came forward in extending their support and solidarity.

The representatives of Circle Branch took active part at the CHQ level. Shri S B Mohapatra was re-elected as CHQ President in the 35^th All India Conference held and Kolkata in January 2008 and continued as such till the 36^th All India Conference was held at New Delhi in 2010. Shri Pitabasa Jena, Circle treasurer was elected at one AGS at CHQ level in the 36^th All India Conference held at New Delhi. Odisha Circle emerged as the highest contributor on CHQ quota on monthly subscriptions at national level during 2008-10 with remittance of Rs.30,000/- to CHQ. On the question of merger of IP & ASP cadres, Odisha Circle made its view emphatically clear. For settlement of outstanding issues Odisha Circle advocated for resorting to strike as the preferred option as prayers and petitions of the Association are ignored by the Govt. Odisha Circle extended open moral support to Mr. Permanand in the matter of the OA filed in the Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam Bench in connection with upgradation of GP of IPs.

Senior members and Ex-Circle Secretaries provided their valuable guidance which helped a lot in the functioning of the Association. A blog of the Association which is created w.e.f 29.02.2008 in the web has been instrumental in keeping the members updated with news on service matters and on various other aspects. The blog is also used as a powerful medium for interaction among members and other employees of the Department.

      All these years the Association made sincere efforts to maintain good relation with sister unions/association with the notion that the members of AIAIASP very much belong to the fraternity of ‘working class’. The Circle Secretary made his appearance among Gr.C Union functionaries in a number of occasions. Gestures shown by Com. K V Shridharan, General Secretary, AIPEU, CHQ, New Delhi and Com. Bruhaspati Samal , Com. Purnendu Kumar Dash, Com. Gadadhar Rath of AIPEU, Gr C, Bhubaneswar Divisional Branch and Shri P N Ranasingh, Circle Secretary, AISBCO Employees’ Union are praiseworthy.

The Association is holding its 38^th Circle Conference at Bhubaneswar on 15.01.2012. The term of the present Circle Secretary with its team of office-bearers and CWC members is coming to an end that day. The Association is going to get a new body of office-bearers and CWC members. The present Circle Secretary thankfully acknowledges the support and encouragement given to his team in past four years by the members of AIAIASP both inside and outside the Circle, the sister Unions / Associations, well-wishers and senior members (of Postal Officers' Association). Critiques also deserve special thanks for their valuable comments / observation which ultimately helped in bringing improvement in the activities of the Association.

The Association is not merely an entity but a movement. Let the movement get going and let us make it stronger in the days to come.

The present Circle Secretary expresses his sincere thanks to each and all before handing over the charge to his successor (to be elected) on 15.01.2012.
