Comrades M Nalini, Chairperson, Women's Committee, JK Prajapati, Amitava Chatterjee and Arul D Rajkumar also applied for leave for absence.

 

46^th Conference – Review

The NE meeting reviewed the conduct of 46^th 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

Dear Comrades,

 

CONFEDERATION CALLS FOR MASSIVE DHARNA ON 20^TH JUNE 2013

 

            The 24^th Conference of Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers had decided to hold parleys with AIRF and AIDEF so as to persuade them to join the struggle on common demands such as wage revision on every 5 years, merger of DA up 50% etc. There had been some informal confabulations on this line and it has been agreed that the representatives of these organisations would meet on 15^th June 2013 to chalk out a common strategy and finalising a common charter of demands. But it may so happen that the meeting may be delayed.

 

            The 24^th Conference also decided to continue the struggle on the 15 Point Charter of Demands on which the Central Government employees had gone on a day's strike on 12^th December 2012. The Conference called upon every affiliate and State Committees of Confederation to organise one day massive dharna on 20^th June 2013 in every state capital and in every city.

 

            CHQ of All India Audit & Accounts Association endorses the call of the Conference of Confederation and call upon on every unit to take leading part in participation as well as in mobilisation for the day long Dharna on 20^th June 2013.

 

            Confederation Circular is reproduced elsewhere.

 

ON RAISING OF RETIREMENT AGE TO 62

 

            Reports say that the government of the day is serious about the raising of the retirement age. Formally, the official side is denying it. There was a move for the same in 2008 itself, but immediate change of incumbency in Finance Ministry had put a full stop to it then. The government may be feeling that the government employees could be won over with the lolli-pop of raising of retirement age without addressing any of the issues that confront the employees like wage revision, DA merger, price rise, PFRDA bill etc.

 

            All India Audit & Accounts Association is of the firm view that any move to raise the retirement age is an affront to the unemployed of the country and it should not be done. The government may be planning to imitate the OECD countries many of which have raised the retirement age to 65 and above. Govt may be expecting to tide over the current financial crisis by delaying the payments by two years.

 

            The move to raise the retirement age, if correct, is not only a blow to the educated unemployed but it would adversely affect the efficiency in Government offices.

 

            With greetings,

Yours fraternally

Dear Comrades,

 

GRAND ALLINACE OF DISRUPTORS DEFEATED IN KERALA

 

The disruptors formed a grand alliance in Kerala. The only objective of the grand alliance consisting of National Audit Federation units and the desperate elements in A&E office was to defeat the Audit & Accounts Association.

 

The occasion was election to the L&R Club – Thiruvananthapuram. The voters were all the personnel of Gr C & B & A (including PAsG) from Audit and A&E offices. (Branches at Thrisur, Ernakulam, Kottayam and Kozhikode have separate elected bodies).

 

The fight was a direct one – between the panel placed by Audit & Accounts Association, Kerala and the one jointly by self proclaimed Audit Champions ie National Audit Federation who has declared accounts staff as their enemy and new avatar of National audit in Accounts Side.

 

The employees gave the verdict – an emphatic one. Employees told in one voice – keep off these divisive slogans, we are with Audit & Accounts Association. The employees – from MTS to SAO – have seen it with their eyes and learnt it from experience during the last seven years who is what.

 

There was simple choice before the employees and officers of Kerala – to identify with valiant leadership and members of Audit & Accounts Association and elect its panel or take the department back to colonial days by backing the fifth columnists who "served' the administration during the bitter days when two of our comrades were dismissed and hundreds were punished.  

 

Kerala comrades did the right thing – they gave the Audit & Accounts Association panel a thumping majority – majority in almost all the posts was more than the votes polled by the grand alliance.

 

Red Salute to members and leaders of Audit & Accounts Association, Kerala.

 

GRAND ALLIANCE ATTEMPTS AT ALL INDIA LEVEL

 

This grand alliance is attempted at all India level. Some former leaders of our movement are taking lead in forming a National Accounts Federation. The aim is to have a grand alliance against All India Audit & Accounts Association.

 

Every unit of All India Audit & Accounts Association is contacted by these desperate elements. They had a "Conference" in Kerala. They are working in tandem with those who broke away for 'championing' the cause of audit (and doing all disservice to the cause of audit).

 

It is very clear – it is neither the interest of audit nor the interest of accounts that is the driving force. It is the eagerness to wreck the unity of employees to serve the interests of the administration that is the driving force.

 

Some of our comrades are contacting the CHQ on this enquiring what are all these about.  Our responsibility is to strengthen the audit and accounts unity. We are sure the employees would pooh-pooh all these disruptive elements.

 

We all should remember one thing – if one has earned a name as leader of audit movement that was/is because you were/are the leader of All India Audit & Accounts Association. One command respect so far he/she is with the banner of All India Audit & Accounts Association. The members realise your character once you try to ditch the movement – either by joining hands with disruptors or trying to engineer disruption. History will not absolve such traitors.

 

With greetings,

 

Yours fraternally

Dear Comrades,

 

            The 46^th Conference of the Association held at Guwahati identified some pressing issues that have to be addressed urgently. The National Executive Committee that met at the sidelines of the Conference of Confederation decided that the issues need detailed discussion in a wider forum and hence decided to convene a meeting of the CWC.  All the Units may, in the meantime, take enabling decision on the participation in the CWC meeting and identify issues to be discussed and decided upon.

            During the discussion on the Report and the organisational matters, many a proposals had come up, including on how to overcome the financial hardship faced by the CHQ. Some had even gone to the extent of proposing that Secretary General may function from his station or seek transfer to any of the Delhi offices. The Conference, while appreciating the concern expressed by these units of the financial health, categorically rejected these suggestions.

            Conference specifically directed the Members of the National Executive Committee members that they should ensure that their units shall clear the CHQ dues by 30^th April 2013.

            The proposed CWC meeting will discuss only the organisational issues ie building up of the Association to enable the organisation to pursue the Policy and Programme Resolution adopted by the 46^th Conference, meeting the challenges of the day. The CWC meeting is proposed to be held in the 1^st half of August 2013. The dates and venue shall be communicated shortly.

            Report on implementation of "REMOVE CURBS ON THE EXERCISE OF FUNDAMENTAL (Right to Association & Right to Expression) & DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS DAY" on 23^rd April 2013 has not been received from all the units. Units may remember that this slackness on  timely  reporting adversely affects our future planning.

 

CONFEDERATION CONFERENCE

            24^th Conference of Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers was held on 4^th, 5^th and 6^th May 2013 at Kolkata. Coms KKN Kutty (ITEF) and M.
