LEGAL BATTLE & ORGANIZATIONAL STRUGGLE BY NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE)

Postal JCA (NFPE, FNPO, AIPEU GDS (NFPE) & NUGDS) has already declared indefinite strike from 6th May 2015 for the settlement of 39 point charter of demands in which “INCLUSION OF GDS UNDER 7th CPC” is the demand No.1, in the Parliament March conducted by Postal JCA more than 15,000 Postal, RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks participated.

WHERE IS THE RESPECTFUL AGREEMENT OF THE RECOGNIZED GDS UNION ............  ????????

Nine months are over after appointment of 7th Pay Commission, but GDS are not included in the 7th CPC and no action is taken to review the wages and service conditions of 2.76 lakh GDS.

The recognized GDS Union leader (Shri Mahadevaiah) has claimed that he has signed a “RESPECTFUL AGREEMENT” with the Govt. and he garlanded and gave bouquet to the Hon’ble Communications Minister and Secretary, Department of Posts.

But where is the “RESPECTFUL AGREEMENT” .....?????

Is the word  “WILL CONSIDER” can be called as “respectful agreement”.......??????

Whenever somebody submit some memorandum to Minister or Postal Board, the reply given as “will consider”.

The same words are used in the agreement signed by Shri Mahadevaiah, is it a “Respectful agreement”   …..????

Now the recognized GDS union leader is telling Govt has violated the agreement and misguiding the GDS to save his face.

Shri Mahadevaiah now understood that only a joint struggle by NFPE and Postal JCA can settle the GDS demands. 

With out NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE) the fragmented strike of recognized GDS Union will not yield any result.

Recognized GDS union should admit it openly without cheating the GDS, any further.

RECOGNIZED GDS UNION HAS LOST ITS CREDIBILITY.

Govt plans to use India Post's postmen to educate people on schemes and policy - NEWS.

New Delhi: The government is planning to use India Post's 1.55 lakh-strong branch network to reach out to citizens in far flung and backward areas and educate them about the various policies, schemes and incentives.

The ministry of information and broadcasting runs various awareness programmes for the citizens leveraging the Internet and the social media.

However, these initiatives are still out of the reach of many who live in backward and far flung areas there is no connectivity, sources said.

"This category of population is sizable and within the reach of post offices. I&B ministry can design programmes region-wise, which can then be used by the postman to go to these areas and educate the people," a source said.

The idea is to utilise the huge network of India Posts' post offices across the country, especially to reach out to people in areas not connected with the Internet, and educate them about the government's policies, schemes and incentives, the sources added.

With the world's largest postal network, India Post has about 1.55 lakh post offices spread across the country. On an average, a post office serves an area of 21.21 sq km and a population of 7,175 people.

Besides, postman can also be used for directly collecting feedback from the people in rural areas on various policies and schemes, sources added.

"Also digital boards and panels can be set up at the post offices across these areas to educate people on not just schemes and policies, but also on issues related to health and education," they said.

The Task Force set up by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is already holding consultations in this regard with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

Modi has set up the Task Force to leverage the postal network in India to enhance the role of India Posts in financial inclusion, among other services and it is expected to submit its report by year-end.

The Task Force includes the Department of Posts Secretary Kavery Banerjee, Telecom Secretary Rakesh Garg, Department of Electronics and IT Secretary R S Sharma, Rural Development Secretary L C Goyal and former SEBI Chairman G N Bajpai.

Former Cabinet Secretary TSR Subramanian is the Chairman of the Task Force.

FM TO RELAUNCH KISAN VIKAS PATRA (KVP); AVAILABLE TO THE
INVESTORS IN THE DENOMINATION OF RS. 1000, 5000, 10,000 AND 50,000,
WITH NO UPPER CEILING ON INVESTMENT; INVESTMENT MADE IN THE
KVP WILL DOUBLE IN 100 MONTHS
New Delhi, November 17, 2014
Kartika 26, 1936


The Union Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley will re-launch the Kisan Vikas Patra
(KVP) here tomorrow in the presence of Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union Minister of
Communication and IT and Shri Jayant Sinha, Minister of State for Finance among
others. Increasing savings rate in the economy was one of the priorities of the new
Government on assuming charge. In view of the popular demand and to revitalize   Small
Savings, the Finance Minister in para 27 of his Budget Speech announced that “Kisan
Vikas Patra (KVP) a very popular instrument among small savers will be reintroduced
The instrument will encourage people, who may have banked and unbanked savings to
invest”. Accordingly, it is decided to reintroduce Kisan Vikas Patras (KVPs). KYC
norms regarding all National Savings Schemes (NSS) are now applicable in post offices
and banks w.e.f. January, 2012.
The re-launched Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) will be available to the
investors in the denomination of Rs. 1000, 5000, 10,000 and 50,000, with no upper
ceiling on investment. The certificates can be issued in single or joint names and can be
transferred from one person to any other person / persons, multiple times. The facility of
transfer from one post office to another anywhere in India and of nomination will be
available. The certificate can also be pledged as security to avail loans from the banks
and in other case where security is required to be deposited. Initially the certificates will
be sold through post offices, but the same will soon be made available to the investing
public through designated branches of nationalised banks.
Kisan Vikas Patras have unique liquidity feature, where an investor can, if he so
desires, encash his certificates after the lock-in period of 2 years and 6 months and
thereafter in any block of six months on pre-determined maturity value. The investment
made in the certificate will double in 100 months.
Reintroduction of Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) is a welcome step not only in the
direction of providing safe and secure investment avenues to the small investors but will
also help in augmenting the savings rate in the country. The scheme will also safeguard
small investors from fraudulent schemes. With a maturity period of 8 years 4 months, the
collections under the scheme will be available with the Govt. for a fairly long period to be utilized in financing developmental plans of the Centre and State Governments and
will also help in enhancing domestic household financial savings in the country.
Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) – a certificate savings scheme was launched by the Government
on 1st April, 1988. The scheme provided facility of unlimited investment by way of
purchase of certificates from post offices in various denominations. The maturity period
of the scheme when launched was 5 ½ years and the money invested doubled on
maturity. The scheme was very popular among the investors and the percentage share of
gross collections secured in KVP was in the range of 9 % to 29 % against the total
collections received under all National Savings Schemes in the country. Gross collections
under the scheme in the year 2010-11 were Rs. 21631.16 crores which was 9 % of the
total gross collections during the year. In the year of its closure, the scheme secured
gross collections of Rs. 7575.95 crores (April 2011 to November 2011).
