JAMMU, Sept 25: Central Working Committee (CWC) Jammu of All J&K Plus Two PSC Lecturer Association, led by convener Manjeet Chib today visits Dr Jitendra Singh, MoS PMO and apprised him about the demand of career progression.
The delegation submitted a memorandum to the Minister seeking his intervention in resolving the long cherished demand of Plus 2 cadre. Manjeet Chib told the MoS that Plus cadre is indebted to the Central Govt and particularly to Dr Jitendra Singh for taking historical decision of revoking SRO 202.
The delegation highlighted the genuine issue of implementation of Modified Assured Career progression (ACP) in favour of plus two lecturers on the same analogy given to other officers of J&K UT. The delegation informed Dr Jitendra that +2 lecturers are the worst sufferers due to long stagnation. They said that they are bound to work on the same grade pay GP for years and if elevated, get the mere increase of two hundred only which is sort of exploitation to nation builders.
“The role of making Indian society sustainable and progressive knowledge hub as envisaged in NEP 2020 can’t be dreamt without the active involvement of +2 lecturers. So the provisions of Career Progression as envisaged in NEP should be implemented in letter and spirit and keeping the lecturers away from its purview is sheer injustice to the community. The7th Pay Commission recommendations also speak of three MACP to all employees during service career which has not been implemented so far in J&K UT which is also a sort of demotivation to lecturers community,” reads the memorandum submitted by the delegation to the Minister.
Dr Jitendra gave a patient hearing to the delegation and passed on spot instruction to BJP leaders Ashok Koul and National Secretary Narinder Singh to take up the matter with LG Sinha and Chief Secretary as the demand is absolutely genuine and needs to be fulfilled on priority basis.
Those who were present in the meeting, included Rishi Manhas, Sandeep Sharma, Sanjev Kumar and others.
