Comrades M Nalini, Chairperson, Women's Committee, JK Prajapati, Amitava Chatterjee and Arul D Rajkumar also applied for leave for absence.
46th Conference – Review
The NE meeting reviewed the conduct of 46th Conference, noted that despite the Conference having been held at a station in the North East, it had a good participation. Security aspects in the region and the restrictions imposed by the Government had to be followed, causing clubbing of agenda items for want of time. Because of the security conditions, night sessions – an integral part of our Conferences – had to be completely done away with. The NE decided to hold a CWC meeting at the earliest to discuss the agenda on organisation.
Organisation
NE held a detailed discussion on the organisational position prevailing today. The meeting identified certain deficiencies in the functioning of the Association at different levels and decided to address them in a time bound and phased manner.
The meeting decided that a team of Office-bearers would be made in charge of stations where they would visit periodically and hold extensive discussions on organisational matters and lead campaigns on common issues of central government employees and departmental issues. Three teams under the leadership of Com M Duraipandian, President, Com MS Raja, Secretary General and Com V Nageswara Rao, Additional Secretary General has been decided. Other members of each team would be decided by the Secretariat. Each unit would be intimated separately about the visit of the team and their schedule in advance.
Meeting with CAG, DAI
We have sought meeting with CAG. CAG is yet to grant meeting to any Federation. We have also submitted agenda for formal (bilateral) meeting with DAI. It is expected that the meeting may materialise in the month of August 2013. Agenda items are published in the July 2013 issue of Auditlekha Samanvay.
Departmental Council
The last meeting of Departmental Council was held in July 2012 for electing Leader and Secretary, Staff Side. Since then we have been writing to members of the departmental Council nominated by other Federations to forward agenda items for submission to the Chairman, Departmental Council. Nobody from other Federations had responded. Consequently we have submitted the agenda for Departmental Council Meeting. The detailed agenda with explanatory memorandum is being published in Auditlekha Samanvay. The agenda in brief is given as annexure to this Circular.
The National Executive requests all the units to propose items or give inputs for finalising the agenda for departmental council.
Nominations to Departmental Council
The National Executive Committee considered vacancies in the Departmental Council – due to Com V Sreekumar becoming AAO and Com. R Venkataraman's ill-health and decided to replace them with Com Subrata Saha from Defence Audit and Com Vasant K Bhambhi, Accounts Cat III, Ahmedabad.
The National Executive Committee further decided to invite Com Veer Singh and Vasant Bhambhi (Departmental Council Members) to the National Executive and CWC meetings.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally
(M.S.Raja)
Secretary General
