Unit Secretaries,
Members & Spl. Invitees – NE &
Members of Women's Committee
Dear Comrades,
The CWC meeting held at New Delhi on 24-25 February 2011 adopted the
following resolutions (in addition to the six resolutions mentioned in
Circular 06).
7. On enhancement of TA/DA for sports persons
8. On relaxation of Recruitment Rules for sports persons
9. On denial of Child care leave and conditionalities imposed there-on
10. On SAS examination
11. Dilution, abdication of Audit in PRI and P&T audits
The CWC called upon every unit to clear the head quarter quota with
out fail by 31st March 2011 and also to collect special fund of Rs
100/- per member and remit it to HQr immediately. The units which are
yet to revise their rate of subscription may carryout the amendment of
the constitution without any further delay.
The CWC decided to hold Women's Convention by June/July 2011. Mumbai,
Nagpur and Hyderabad have been identified as the possible venue. Each
of them may convey their preparedness to hoist the all India Women's
meet. After hearing from the units the National Executive Committee
may decide the venue from amongst the three.
The CWC exhorted the leaders and members of the Association to take
active part in the functioning of the local COCs taking lead in
mobilising the employees on the charter of demands finalised by the
Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers.
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
The CWC called upon every unit to observe International Women' Day on
8th April (Pl refer Circular 06). Circular issued by Com Jaitha VS,
Convener, Women's Committee is given below. All the units in the
station may come together and observe the day jointly. If the local
COC is arranging any programme they join in large numbers in that
programme also.
Confederation Circular on Women's Convention at Kolkata is attached.
WORKERS MARCH TO PARLIAMENT
Even by the conservative estimates more than six lakhs of workers
marched in the streets of New Delhi to protest against the ruinous
economic policies pursued by the government making the life of the
common man miserable. Thousands were held up at different points by
the way of halting of trains and they could not make it to the rally
in time. It is time that the government recognises the growing
discontent and makes corrective measurers. But the budget presented by
the Finance Minister gives no such indication. More than restoring the
confidence of crores of toiling masses in the government, the Prime
Minister and Finance Minister are concerned about boosting corporates'
confidence! The announcement of the Finance Minister in the budget
speech to re-introduce the PFRDA bill shows very clearly how the
things will be in the days to come.
APEX JAC MEETING
The Apex JAC met at New Delhi on 22nd February 2011. After a long gap
Chief Executives of most of the Constituents attended the meeting.
The Apex JAC decided that two proposals that came for the discussion
be referred to the constituents for their organisational decisions.
These issues are:
1. Remove the demand 'implementation of arbitration award' from the
charter of demands and pursue the demand separately
2. to demand functional independence to audit & accounts (including
organised accounts) and functional integration.
The apex JAC would meet soon at Hyderabad to take decisions there-on.
Apex JAC circular is enclosed.
CONFEDERATION CALL
The Secretariat of the Confederation met on 24th February along with
General Secretaries of State Committees of Confederation. The meeting
decided to hold lunch hour meetings in each office on 20th April 2011
to explain the charter of demands to members and also to submit it to
the respective heads of department. The Confederation shall issue a
detailed memorandum on the charter of demands. The State Committee of
Confederation shall take necessary steps to implement the programme in
a most effective manner.
The Confederation Secretariat also decided to hold Conventions in such
states where state committees are still not formed.
We endorse the decisions of the Confederation and call upon every unit
and member to involve themselves in building up the Confederation and
also a vibrant movement of Central Government employees.
Confederation circular is enclosed.

Yours fraternally,

OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY
ON MARCH 8TH
Dear Comrades,
"Womens Day Greetings of peace and Solidarity to you all."
The month of March is dedicated for the women to commemorate the
struggle of the courageous women who fought for equality, justice,
peace and development- who have paved the way for us to continue our
journey for women's emancipation.
"On March 8th 1857 women (garment workers) working in textile
factories in New York staged a protest against inhumane working
conditions and low wages. On 8th March 1908, 15000 women marched
through the New York city demanding shorter work hours, better pay,
voting rights and an end to child labour."
Today we live in a violent world and discrimination and violence
against women are very much prevalent. In a fast changing globalised
world women are not only victims of the violence generated by the
patriarchal system, but also of poverty, exploitation and exclusion
from the mainstream society by the neo-liberal economic system. It is
a human rights violation denying women and girls equality. Violence
against women is present in every country, cutting across boundaries
of culture, class education, income and age, and hence demanding
equality, justice, peace and development has become relevant as a
century ago.
Annually on March 8th events are held through out the world to
inspire women and celebrate achievements. So make it a point to think
globally and act locally. Make every day International Womens Day.
Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is Bright,
Equal, Safe and Rewarding.
Highlight the need for continued vigilance and action.

Workers March to Parliament 23rd February, 2011
Even as per the very conservative observation 6 lakhs workers are
reported to have participated in the great rally organized by the
Central Trade Unions along with various Employees Federation on 23rd
February, 2011 at New Delhi. It was a grand show of workers might and
determination to fight against the neo-liberal economic policies of
the Govt.of India. Confederation and its affiliates can be proud of
the fact that the Central Govt. employees were part and parcel of this
huge demonstration. Large number of comrades came from Delhi and
neighboring States to participate in this rally. Many could not reach
in time before we could start the procession from the identified spot
of Jantar Mantar. Allahabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Gorakhpur ,
Bariely, Meerut, Agra, Ghaziabad, Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh brought
large number of Central Govt. employees to participate in the rally.
Similarly Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Alwar were the stations in
Rajasthan which took pains to mobilize the Central Govt. Employees to
go over to Delhi and be participants in the rally. Ambala, Faridabad,
Rohtak, Gurgaon, Rewari where the stations in Haryana which sent in
large number of employees to take part in the procession. Chandigarh,
Jalandhar in Punjab also mobilized a good number of comrades to be at
Delhi. The state committee of Delhi and its affiliated organisations
worked hard to mobilize large number of employees to participate in
the rally and obviously it did fructify in as much as unusually a
large number of comrades came on their own and also in vehicles
arranged by the respective organization to swell the number of Central
Govt. employees in the rally. Almost all the states have sent in
comrades to participate in the rally as per quota fixed by the
Confederation. It was by far the best participation of the Central
Govt. Employees in the mobilization of the workers against the Govt.
India's economic policy in the recent days. We are pleased to inform
that the quota we had fixed as the minimum number has been surpassed
by all the States as also the affiliates. We place on record our
sincere thanks and gratitude to the State level leaders and affiliates
for the yeomen efforts undertaken by them to make this programme
memorable. This had emboldened the National Secretariat of the
Confederation which met on 24th to embark upon a mass Rally of Central
Govt. Employee alone in the ensuing Monsoon session of the Parliament
in pursuance of the demands specific to Central Govt. Employees. We
request our affiliates and State Secretaries to convey our gratitude
to each and every member who responded to this call and participated
in this rally.
In order to enable the Secretariat to review the efforts undertaken
by the States and Affiliates, which you will agree is a pre-requisite
for effective and efficient functioning of the orgasnisation, we
request you to send us a report within ten days of placing this
circular to the website in the following format.
1. Details of the campaign programme undertaken by the leaders and the
places visited.
2. Whether any pamphlet has been issued and if so the copy thereof may
be sent to the CHQ.
3. The number of comrades participated from each station.
4. Whether the quota fixed could exceed/ be met or not met.
5. Amount spent for hiring bus, affording traveling expenses to the
participating comrades etc.
(A few photographs taken by our comrades during the rally have been
placed on the website under this circular letter)
The National Secretariat meeting held on 24th February, 2011and decisions
45 comrades (Secretariat members and the State Secretaries)
participated in the meeting held on 24th February, 2011 at the CHQ.
The meeting was convened as per the decision taken at the National
council meeting held on 1st December, 2010 at Mumbai. The main Agenda
for discussion was organizing the State/District committees and to
ensure that conferences of these committees are held as specified in
the constitution.
After discussion it was decided that UP state committee is to be
reorganized as a single committee on 17th March 2011, at Lucknow. The
NFPE has decided to organize a camp near Lucknow on 16th and 17th and
the State Conference of the Confederation will be held on 17th at 10
AM at the same venue. It was also decided as a matter of fact that the
Districts where there are few Central Govt. Organisations the District
secretary shall be the nominee of NFPE and the committee shall have
two other members selected by other prominent organization as of the
Central Govt. employees in the District. The conference will be held
on the same lines in AP, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andaman & Nicober
Islands, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. Com Piyush Roy will take
initiative to explore the possibility of setting up State committees
in Tripura and Nagaland. The meeting noted that Meghalaya
co-ordination committee was functioning well. In the absence of the
representative from other State Committees, the meeting authorized the
Secretary General and the available members of the Secretariat at
Delhi to get in touch with those State Committee and ensure that the
State Committees are formed wherever it is not functioning.
In order to propagate the demands included in the charter,
conventions will be organized in all states. On 20th April, 2011
demonstration/lunch hour meetings will be organized in front of all
offices to submit the charter of demands to the concerned Heads of
Department. The National Secretariat will meet on 11th of June, 2011
at New Delhi to fix the date for the various programmes of action
decided by the National Council meeting. The period between March to
June is required to utilize for the purpose of Organizing
state/District level conventions to popularize the demands. The
affiliates will also organize all India meetings/conventions to
popularize the demands in the charter so that horizontal and vertical
campaign programme will be unleashed simultaneously.
With Greetings
Yours faithfully

10. Com. A. K. Mehta, Convener, local JAC, Delhi and Vice President

11. Com. Partha Bhattacharjee, Working President, All India Railway
Accounts Staff Association attended the meeting and
12. Com. S. K. Vyas, Chairman, Confederation of Central Government
Employees and workers and Member, Standing Committee NC (JCM)
The meeting took the stock of the situation with reference to the
call given for observance of Awakening Day on 15/02/2011. The
reporting received so far by Apex JAC indicates that the programme has
been implemented in select stations only.
As far as the issue of implementation of Arbitration Award on grant
of higher pay scale to Sr. Accountants/Auditors with effect from
01.01.1986 is concerned, the meeting noted that through the matter was
placed in the Parliament during monsoon session of 2010, it could not
be tabled in the Parliament by the Government due to the intervention
of Com. Basudeb Acharia, M P. Loksabha and also due to disruption of
Parliament in the winter Session. It is expected that in all
likelihood it would be introduced in the budget session of Parliament
for rejection.
The meeting observed that, though the demand of grant of higher pay
scale has been met with effect from 01.01.1996, but it is necessary to
continue persuasion for settlement of this issue in the form of
implementation of arbitration award to avoid danger of down-gradation
of status and Pay Scales of Accounts and Audit Cadres in future. The
meeting therefore, decided that the issue shall be pursued.
The meeting also reviewed the status of Charter of Demands adopted by
apex JAC and decided that on the following issues views of the
Constituent organisations- after discussion in the respective decision
making forums - may be sought for taking a final call.
1. The demand "implement arbitration award on pay scales" may either
be taken out of the charter of demands and pursued separately placed
appropriately in the re-oriented charter of demands (furnished below).
2. The JAC may focus on core/functional issue of Accounting and
Auditing Organizations as the system is facing grave threat from the
executive by holding a National Convention and through wide campaigns
etc demanding Functional Independence to Audit & Accounting
organisations. The issue of demanding "functional integration" may
also be discussed and opinion there-on may be communicated.
The Apex JAC shall meet at Hyderabad on 11th April 2011. It is
requested that every constituent organisation communicate their views
on the above proposal before 11th April 2011.
With warm greetings,
(V.Bhattacharjee)
