Dear friends,
I am posting a letter addressed to Shri K Suresh Kumar, Under Secretary, CS II Section, DoPT returning the proposal for the upgradation of Grade pay of LDC and UDC on the ground given therein. This letter was not attached with the original documents while returning the case to the Association by the CS II. Shri Bipin Kumar Pandey has obtained this letter through RTI and forwarded to me through e-mail.
In para II it is stated that no anomaly item related to the upgradation of the grade pay of LDC and UDC is pending with the National Anomaly Committee. The matter was discussed with Shri S.K. Vyas, who representing the Confederation in the National Anomaly Committee. Shri Vyas has informed me that 11 additional items including item related to the LDC & UDC, have been admitted for discussion in the National Anomaly Committee. Shri Vyas further said that the assurance of taking up these items in the final meeting of the National Anomaly Committee was given to the Staff Side. But any initiative to conduct the final meeting of the NAC has not been come up from the side of the Government. Thus the statement given by the Deputy Secretary (JCA) is not in match with the statement of Shri Vyas, Member NAC.

. The President has said there should not be any confrontation between the environment considerations and development requirements. Inaugurating the National Day Education celebration and Jawaharlal Nehru National Science, Mathematics and Environment Exhibition (JNNSMEE) 2013, at Gangtok, Sikkim today, the President Shri Pranab Mukherjee said that it is high time that we redefine the concept of development in a wider prospective and try to find innovative ways on scientific knowledge and mathematical understanding to tackle them.
Paying rich tribute to the first Education Minister of the country, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the President described him as a great visionary, freedom fighter, scholar and eminent educationist. He said it was Maulana Azad who had woven the fabric of a secular, liberal, modern and universal education system. Calling for promotion of innovation, he said it will be the determining factor of growth in the future. In a world marked by resource constraints growth will increasingly depend on technology upgradation. It is the innovation in Science and Technology which can lead to development of new products and processes which could act as a catalyst for growth. Describing education as a necessary tool for national progress, human empowerment and social change the President said the changes made in the education system including Right to education, implementation of Sarva Shiksha Abiyaan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abiyaan (RMSA) to strengthen the seconadry school system in the country and now launching of the Rashtriya Uttachar Shiksha Abiyaan (RUSA) will have far reaching positive implications.

Sir/ Madam,
This has a reference to the subject cited above and to state that the salary to the staff of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan is being disbursed by Union Bank of India through its web-portal for which adequate funds is regularly remitted to the UBI well in time by the Sangathan. The existing system of disbursal of salary to the staff through UBI Web-portal is not only a hassle free and full proof arrangement but also saves time on both sides. As a result, all employees of Sangathan are getting their salary on the last working day. There are instances where the project authorities failed to remit the funds to Vidyalayas as per the terms & conditions of (MOU) Memorandum of Understanding to meet the Recurring & Non-recurring expenditure including salary that facilitated slight delay in disbursal of salary to the employees of one or two project Vidyalayas. In such cases too, Sangathan initiated necessary action suo motu and provided required funds to meet such contingency.

Unless otherwise stated, usual status workers will mean all workers taking into consideration the usual principal and subsidiary status together. In this report, estimates of the employment and unemployment indicators are presented for each of the class 1 cities in India. The corresponding estimates are also presented for each State/UT for three size classes of towns, as per Population Census 2001, viz. class 1 cities (with population one million and above), class 2 towns (with population 50,000 to one million) and class 3 towns (with population less than 50,000).
