Can the problem of GDS be solved by just publishing photo shoots and gathering at places by MAHADEVAIAH, making his CHQ blog just a photo album, without taking any productive/concrete analytical view for the GDS?

           Definitely a big no! Because, who would make know the Govt. of India that for the rapid growth of business of Postal Dept. and service in the Country and radical change resulting expansion of Governmental functions in rural areas by the Postal Dept. mainly the GDS contribute a major role and has been neglected by the Department of Post since long.

          It is the duty of every GDS to root out the lethargic leadership continuing from 1999 to achieve the proper service condition of the GDS mass in the Country. The leader who does not keep any capacity to fight as to the need of the present demand and to achieve a single thing for GDS till date .Whatever the GDS has achieved by the minimum mercy of the Department only. It is because the Department shows as if GDSs need not have to be departmentalized and all the responsibilities of pay structure and service conditions of the GDSs could be set by the Departmental bureaucrats (who have no knowledge about law interpretation) without let GDS allow the judiciary interference .  The ripe fruit (i.e. the agreement for GDS committee) achieved by the struggle of common GDS members was lost due to post strike lethargy of Mahadevaiah, ultimately we have been suffering the disease of non implementation of Hon’ble Kamalesh Chandra’s Committee report today. So the dam of patience of the GDSs is getting dim day by day.

        In this democratic system of governance in India, for 3 Lakhs of GDS, due to the General Secretary like Mahadevaiah’s weak leadership and inactiveness ,the discretionary power of the Department of Post naturally turning into arbitrary power and ultimately GDSs has been suffering right from SO level to Directorate, without any hinder .The Department of Post always has been trying the GDS to keep outside the Department not allowing the Civil servant status due to weak representation to Govt. by the immature leadership of GDSs. It is pertinent to quote here example of failure achievement of Mahadevaiah the agreement for Judiciary Committee .In post strike period the duty of the GS was to file a tribunal on non implementation of agreement. But the issue was just left by the GS on his business point of view .On contemplating the weakness of GDS leadership the Department has been neglected to implement the report of Pay Committee and before implementation the Department abruptly recruits about half lakh GDS posts in old ruling is ambiguous.  

          On the whole the root of all evils is our weak GDS leadership and should be well aware of this fact seriously to strengthen our unity to avoid the GDS sufferings in the Postal Dept.
