Pay scales of Physical Education Teacher and Master

Sir,

As per Rule 9 (a) of SRO 75 dt. 30.03.1992 & SRO 18 Dt. 19.01.1998 of J&K Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, there is Special Treatment for certain posts such as Drivers, Patwaris, Medical Assistants, Police Constables, Teachers, Junior Engineers, Assistant Engineers, Assistant Executive Engineers, Executive Engineers, Dental Surgeons, Draftsman and Village Level Workers and when even their pay scales have been revised/upgraded as is quite clear from the above said SROs they have been placed in the same pay scales irrespective of the Department where they are working.

The Govt. vide SRO 225 dt. 18-08-2005 by amending Rule 15 (e) of J&K Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules 1998 inserted is as Note-I below under the above said Rule by deleting the existing Note inserted vide SRO 170 dt. 16-06-2005 according to which all the posts of Teachers having qualification graduation and above and carrying functional pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 were placed in the upgraded pay scale of 4500-7000 and those who were under-graduate in the pay scale of Rs. 3050-4590 were placed in the upgraded pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 w.e.f 01-04-2005. These upgraded pay scale should have been applicable to all Teachers working in any of the Department but this did not happen as the PETs/PEMs working under the direct control of Principals/Headmasters in some cases were given the benefit of the above noted upgraded pay scales correctly but the District Youth Services and Sports Officers did not give the benefits to none of the PET's for whom they were DDO's and got another SRO No. 235 dt. 19-07-2006 issued from the Finance Department regarding up graduation of pay scales of PETs/PEMs on the same line as mentioned above by inserting it is Note-2 Below Note-1 already inserted vide SRO 225 dt. 18.08.2005 but without mentioning any date from which it is effective as it should have effect from the same date as in case of SRO 225 viz w.e.f 01-04-2005. The concerned PETs are clamoring for their dues as they have not been given the same by their DDO's with the plea that their is no date for which SRO in question is effective and for this necessary corrigendum needs to be issued.

It is further submitted as to whether as and when the pay scales of JE's/AE's/AEE's/Xen's or any other post mentioned above which falls under (Special Treatment of certain posts) are revised/upgraded separate SRO will be issued for each Department on the same line as has been done in respect of Teachers and Physical Educational Teachers.

A white wash

Sir,

The first one day between India and South Africa was washed by the rain. The last four one day internationals were washed away or should we say swept away by South Africa. The Indian team famous for its batting crumbled like a pack of cards. This is not for the first time. Whenever the team undertook a tour of the South Africa they faced the same defeat. The point is that if the national team was not competent enough to play in South Africa then why we sent a team like that. It is an admitted fact that winning or losing is the part of the game.

But to loose in this way is not what we have bargained for. The team has displayed a total lack of plan, commitment and team spirit. When we see the standard of fielding of the South Africans we are shocked that our so called 'great' players have not developed such a skill despite the fact that crores of tax payer's money is spent on the coaching and training. I think we should develop a new team which is young, committed and agile. With such a pathetic display we do not have high hopes from our team in the tests too.

Your etc...
