APPEAL
Sub: Re-structuring and Modernization of India Meteorological
Department –Revival of JCM scheme in the Deptt.
You may be aware that one Prof. Narasimha Committee has been constituted by the Ministry of Earth Sciences for re-defining the mandate of IMD, NCMRWF, IITM and re-structuring of IMD. It is learnt that five committee(s) under different subject are constituted including Modernization & cadre re-structuring of IMD, which is expected to finalize its report very soon.
Both IMD Administration and our Administrative Ministry are not consulting any recognized Union/Association(s) on important policy matters due to defunct HQ Council (JCM). The S.K.Das Administrative Re-structuring Committee bears the testimony to the fact that till date it has neither called for any inputs/suggestions from any recognized Union/Association(s) officially nor have apprised about approved structure. Many efforts in this direction has borne no fruits because in all these years JCM scheme has taken a backseat and the employees are compelled to seek relief through court of law even on petty matters. Even after three decades the Group ‘B’, ‘C’ & ‘D’ cadres are contesting to bring them at par with similar placed persons in other Central Govt. Deptt.
Keeping in view the state of affairs of IMD employees, It is earnestly requested to all the CEC representatives of the recognized Union / Association of the Department to discuss this burning issue in a meeting on 26th October, 2007 (15:00 hrs) at Association’s Chamber No.3 and to revive the JCM scheme in the Department which has become defunct since 1997. As per DOP&T O.M. No. 3 / 42 / 87-JCA dated 25th January 1988, whenever there is a scheme/proposal for introduction of new technology in a Ministry / Department, the staff side in the concerned Deptt. Council is consulted before taking a final decision in the matter.
Kindly confirm.
