GET READY FOR ANOTHER INDEFINITE STRIKE FROM 10-03-2015
You are all aware that the Govt.of India vehemently denied the AIGDSU February 2014 indefinite strike demand i.e. The inclusion of GDS wage structure and service conditions in the purview of 7th CPC and advised the Dept. of Posts to appoint one man committee to examine the wage structure and service conditions of GDS. The Dept. of Posts intentionally violated the written agreement made between this union and member (P) and have initiated the process to appoint officers committee like Nataraja Murthy Committee. 

AIGDSU always kept its doors open for the sister GDS unions to join in the main stream of GDS movement. He hope and believe that united struggles yields good results.

Subject - MEMORANDUM TO HON’BLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA

Sir,
      
                  Most Respectfully We, Gramin Dak Sevaks, working in the Department of posts are submitting memorandum for your kind perusal and favourable action.

Gramin Dak Sevaks (Perviously called Extra Departmental Agents) are rendering valuable services to the rural India working in the nook and corner of the country for last hundred and fifty years with low wages Rs. 5000 to 10000 per month. Gramin Dak Sevaks are unique in the Postal Department. They are denied to grant pension, Medical facilities and 8 hour pay though they are working more than 8 hours in practical. 

Gramin Dak Sevaks are main source of Income to the Department of posts. Gramin Dak Sevaks procured 1,46,64,650 Rural Postal Life Insurance Active policies through Branch Post offices.  Seventy Six thousand Crores of rupees are earned through this scheme by Gramin Dak Sevaks.

Government of India enacted Mahatma Gandhi National Rural employment Guarentee Act (MGNREGA) in September 2005. The scheme came into effect in all districts in the country from 1^st April 2008. The scheme is operational through 96, 375 Branch Post offices. During the period from April 2013 to February 2014, 63 crores 90 lakhs MGNREGA accounts were opened and an amount of ten thousand four hundred crores was disbursed.

In order to ensure quality of service under MGNREGA, Gramin Dak Sevaks are working 8 to 10 hours per day. Various social security pension schemes are also operational through Branch Post offices in rural India. Branch Post offices in Andhra Pradesh Circle are doing Adhaar Enabled Payment of wages/benefits under MGNREGA and other social security schemes with the support of M/S A.P. online. 9000 Micro ATMs have been deployed by the circle for doing the DBT (Direct benefit transfer) payment to the wage workers. Gramin Dak Sevaks have to attend more than 8 hours per day to these additional work besides normal Branch Post office work. They have to pay only 0-50 paise as incentive per account by the Department of Posts.

We are requesting the Hon’ble Prime Minister keeping all the points in view, to take necessary steps to regularize Gramin Dak Sevaks and provide 8 hours work to serve the Rural People. We are ready to work 8 hours duty to implement various schemes under IT project going to be introduced by the Government of India for the welfare of rural people to lessen the poverty among the common man.

We are also praying the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s intervention to appoint judiciary committee to examine wage structure and service conditions of Gramin Dak Sevaks as the Government of India appointed 7^th Central Pay Commission headed by retired  Supreme Court Judge Sri Ashok Kumar Mathur.

The Gramin Dak Sevaks are having high hopes and expectations on the honourable Prime Minister who knows very well than any other leader in India the difficulties of down trodden to consider the justified demands of Gramin Dak Sevaks.

                                                            
 Yours faithfully

                                                      
Signature of GDS

FROM THE DESK OF CIRCLE SECRETARY AIGDSU, ODISHA CIRCLE BRANCH .

Dear comrades,

"Gramin Dak Sevaks are holder of Civil posts"is a burning truth  where a great lie that they are part timer is in pen and paper only, not in practice and due to the following reason they are deprived of the justice to them in spite of vehement out cry of our CHQ leaderships of AIGDSU ,(the only strong recognized service Union fighting for cause of the GDS) . 

Reasons are as under -

1 - The Department of Post has been setting up committee after committee like recent DKS Chauhan Committee like Lolly Pop for the GDS Children to implement the report,which is remoted by the Departmental Officers keeping aside the interest of the GDS and thus the GDS are deprived of getting justice from the Department of Post in particular and from Union of India in general .
2 -  Sometimes impracticable unjustified arbitrary actions and duty arrangements by the grassroot administration are the outcomes of the weak service rule set for the GDS and thus kept them in horror to extract cheap labour for the Department .
3 - With change of time and keeping in view the scenario of the society where the adequate qualified GDS are engaged here in and to meet need of the rural demand no required improvement has been made to the GDS System .
4 - Even today the GDS Post Offices are run without provision of the house rent (with only Rs.100/- as office maintenance Allowance.)Thus Office Building liability of the B.O. is shouldered on the GDS and the Department is relaxed on that point .
5 - The GDS are not allowed to get justice by the legal intervention of Indian Judiciary system to fix their service condition and wage structure ,rather imposed forcefully the recommendation of a one man retired officers' Committee .(Like Nataraj Murthy Committee ,DKS Chauhan Committee but not like Justice Talwar Committee).
6 - GDS are kept on exploiting by unjustified Arbitrary Action taken by the Postal Authority at times due to non civil servant status to the GDS .If a country wide survey will be taken Postal Division wise,innumerable cases of the victimization to the GDS would come to the light .Like pay held up and no payment ,put off duty ,removal from service without sufficient cause .
7 - Anomaly in adoption of rule framed for the GDS is seen though the same order is implemented differently in different Postal Divisions .For example -
*in case of leave rule implementation for the GDS.
*in case of various allowances allowed to them .
*in case of distribution of welfare fund to them .
*in case of  implementation of service discharge benefit .
*in case of detention allowance payable to the M/Cs
*in case of Duty arrangement while the GDS are on leave or at the vacant places .
*in case of the facility for the ward of GDS to get for admission in K.V.
*in case of the compassionate appointment to the wards of the deceased one .
and so on ...
Hence in order to recover from these type of incompatibility of service conditions and wage structure,intervention of a Judiciary system is call of this hour/day in this large system of Democracy ,where  2 lakh 60 thousand Citizens are hopeful to get their positive honest out come out of the bilateral agreement with the Department of Post during the Democratic struggle of indefinite strike of ALL INDIA GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS UNION  .If the agreement is dis honoured by the Department of Post ,it is the matter of my 2 lakh 60 thousand GDS fraternity to reply Democratically with the Leadership of Com.S.S.Mahadevaiah,no doubt of it.

PM: Postal network can become a driving force for Indian Economy

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today said that the postal network can become a driving force for the Indian Economy, just like the Indian Railways. His remarks came during the presentation of a report by the task force on leveraging the post office network. The Prime Minister, after an initial discussion on various aspects of the report, has directed that the recommendations of the task force be studied in detail within a short period of time, so that necessary follow-up action can be initiated.

The Prime Minister said the postman, along with the teacher, is the most respected Government employee in rural areas.

The Prime Minister said the Department of Posts has huge assets across India, and ways should be explored to suitably use these assets for the benefit of the people. He said post offices in rural areas can be used to deliver services and important government information to individual households.

The Minister for Communication and IT, Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, was present on the occasion. The presentation on behalf of the task force was given by its Chairman, Shri T.S.R. Subramanian.
