  • Dismay prevailed over authoritarian approach of JK education administration and DSE Jammu: repression of capacities of subordinates to hide own weakness is reported.

    Dismay prevailed over authoritarian approach of JK education administration and DSE Jammu: repression of capacities of subordinates to hide own weakness is reported.

    Riaz Choudhary
    Rajouri March 15:–    Education profession being most delicate and full of compassion demands highly humane and democratic machinery to fulfill its cherished goals. Unfortunately, in UT of Jammu and kashmir this sector has worst been hit by frequent swipe of powers and imposition of authoritarian machinery. No cadre of school education have seen any routine transfers and promotions since a decade. Killing stagnation and life long posting of unvoiced officials in far flung tougher station is posing big challenge to maintain and uphold enthusiasm wich again sheds its bad impact on this prophetic mission. DSE Jammu times and again asked to the officials to apply for transfers since 2018 through zonal committees and now through online portal which each times lands into dustbin. Online transfer application were also sought last year where tens of thousands of officials applied as a ray of hope but no general transfers were dared upon, only few among surplus got transferred or badly displaced rest all saw the dusbin. This time again the exercise is repeated which is again going to be futile as bigger officials are not able to gather capabilities to handle general transfers. An ugly play of ceasing of powers of subordinates by higher official is in seen since a decade.

    Administrative secretaries of School education ceasing and catching hold of powers of DSEs of transfers of lecturers while DSEs have ceased and caught hold of powers of CEOs if tranfers of teachers. Suspection prevail that such an illegitimate exercise is performed to generate and pocket revenue through centralised corruption system. Lest how did administrative secretary and Directors know genuineness of places of posting sitting in AC glass houses unless appropriate powers are not allowed to operate under CSR to field officials.


    Moreover, large number of offices of high importance are kept without heads, each one official is asked to look after multiple offices. CEO Rajouri, for example is given additional charge of CEO Poonch, principal DIET as well as DEPO Rajouri, such a scenario prevails throughout UT. To whom administration is answerable at least.
    If certain district officers attempt to deliver their duties under their legitimate power under CSR, higher up gets angry and quashes his action for want of illogical and illegitimate permissions. Why CEOs being district officers are bound to seek approval for adjustment of long pending RRETs posting within the district? Why he is not authorised to rationalise teacher and fourth class staff within his jurisdiction?


    Not even medical cases of severe health challenges are considered in DSE jammu, particularly. Our reporter learned that an official was brought before director school education jammu carried on structure was not considered for transfer and easy posting.


    In the name of digital revolution DSE Jammu, instead of officiating duties assigned to her by CSR is busy in imposing self styled daily schools activities on schools through various portals and links, which is a task of headmasters and principals. Infact imposing every small thing from upside is bound to freeze the capabilities of subordinates.


    Teaching fraternity and public in general has requested media outlets to take notice and save the nation from devastation.

  • Thousands of J&K employees remain deprived of revised monthly contribution under NPS :Ladakh UT takes lead in implementing MoF decision

    Thousands of J&K employees remain deprived of revised monthly contribution under NPS :Ladakh UT takes lead in implementing MoF decision

    Several All India Service officers too fail to obtain benefit

    JAMMU, March 14:- Around 35,000 employees of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir have remained deprived of revised monthly contribution from the Government under New Pension Scheme (NPS) as no step has so far been taken to implement the decision taken by the Union Finance Ministry in the month of January 2019.

    On the other side, the Union Territory of Ladakh, which was created along with the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, has already taken a decision in this regard that too with retrospective effect—April 1, 2019.

    In the year 2004, the Government of India introduced a new restructured defined contribution pension system for new entrants to the Central Government service replacing the system of defined benefit pension system.

    However, in Jammu and Kashmir the New Pension Scheme was implemented with effect from January 01, 2010 and all the fresh recruits appointed in the State Service were brought under the ambit of this contributory pension scheme. From the year 2010 the applicability and coverage of the employees in the Government Service under the old pension scheme based primarily upon the number of years of the service rendered and the basic pay at the time of superannuation was obliterated for the fresh recruits.

    Accordingly, the employee and employer were made equal contributors to the Pension Scheme which was fixed at the maximum of 10 per cent of the Basic Pay Plus Dearness Allowance.

    On the persistent demand of the employees of the Central Government service, a committee was set up to suggest measures for streamlining the implementation of NPS and based on its recommendations the Union Finance Ministry vide Notification dated January 31, 2019 carried out amendments and accordingly the monthly contribution of the Government in the Pension Scheme was increased to 14% of the Basic Pay Plus Dearness Allowance from 10%.

    Following this amendments, several States and Union Territories of the country issued orders for adoption of this amendment of the Central Government in respect of their employees. However, no such decision was taken by the then Government of Jammu and Kashmir much to the disappointment of around
    35,000 employees.

    The bifurcation of the then State of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories and applicability of all the Central Laws in both the UTs generated a ray of hope among such a large number of employees about getting benefit of revised rate of monthly contribution of Government under NPS.

    However, even nearly one and half year after the creation of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, all these employees have remained deprived of the additional benefit as a result of which strong resentment is brewing among them. This is due to non-serious approach of the Government towards them.

    On the other side, the Union Territory of Ladakh has taken a lead over Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in providing benefit of revised rate of monthly contribution of NPS to the employees.

    The Ladakh UT had ordered implementation of notification of Union Finance Ministry vide Order No.251-F dated January 20, 2021. Moreover, it had gone to the extent of giving effect to the revised rate of monthly contribution of Pension Scheme from April 1, 2019.

    According to the sources, not only thousands of employees of the J&K Government even several All India Service officers (IAS, IPS and IFS), who were recruited in the Central Government service after 2004 and are presently posted in this Union Territory, have remained deprived of additional 4% contribution of the employer although they are entitled for the same in view of the notification of Union Finance Ministry dated January 31, 2019
    “This is mainly because the Government of J&K UT has not introduced the format based on revised rate of monthly contribution of NPS as such All India Service officers are also being denied the benefit”, sources informed.

    They disclosed that strong resentment is prevailing among thousands of employees as their repeated pleas to the Government of J&K in implementing revised rate on the line of other States and UTs in the country have not been taken seriously till date. They have now pinned hopes on the Lieutenant Governor.(By Daily Excelsior -)

    Waseem Rizvi should be booked under Public Safety Act and arrested Dr Darakhshan Andrabi:Andrabi spoke to Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and the law enforcing agencies*

    BJP Sokesperson and Chairperson of Waqf Development Committee of Ministry of Minority Affairs Dr Darakhshan Andrabi has expressed her deep anguish over the blasphemous statements and acts of the criminal Waseem Rizvi and demanded that he should be booked under Public Safety Act so that such non-sense is stopped once for all. “His statements are blasphemous. He is a criminal who wants to divert the public attention from his criminal cases by this dangerous and criminal outpour. Quran is a divine book which teaches peace and brotherhood. Nobody has the authority or power to edit contents of the Holy book,” said BJP leader.
                          

    “Waseem Rizvi is under scanner of CBI for some severe criminal cases and he is using his dirty tactics to get respite from being convicted. Government should arrest him immediately and book him under PSA. This act is as dangerous as terrorism and India cannot tolerate any kind of religious blasphemy at all,” said Dr Andrabi.  She said that expression of speech and freedom has its own limits. Dr Andrabi said that faith is very sensitive and nobody can be allowed to enjoy the privileges of publically expressing the personal insanity and mental disorder and create a law and order situation. “I have talked to the Minister of minority affairs Mr Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi regarding the issue and later contacted concerned law-enforcing agencies and was assured that he will soon be booked,” said Dr Andrabi. She said that Supreme Court should immediately dismiss the plea submitted by this lunatic keeping in view the sentiments of crores of people within the country. She has appealed to the public to maintain calm and peace as taught by Quran and the great prophet Mohammad (pbuh).
