Recent Developments

Constitution of a committee for Cadre Restructuring

Friends, we had an agenda meeting with DAI yester day on our 13 point charter of demands. Details of the discussion will be published soon. Now I would like to share the happiness on one of the great achievement of NAF. We have strongly stated that the present scheme of Cadre Rationalisation will not be serving the very purpose of increasing promotional avenues in the department. We also raised our concerns on the reduction of posts in short term scheme. NAF very clearly stated that we dont agree with the Cadre Rationalisation instead we need a comprehensive cadre restructuring of all cadres in the department. We also demanded to constitute a committee for comprehensive cadre restructuring and requested to include members of recognised federations also. It is very happy to share that the Shri. P. Mukharjee, Dy. CAG has directed the PD(Staff) to constitute a committee for cadre restructuring and also directed to include representatives from recognised federations. This is a historic achievement to the staff of this department, as it is the first time the CAG administration has decided to constitute such a committee by involving the representatives of recognised federations. Hope this will give us good result.


Details of the meeting with Joint Secretary Expenditure), 

Government of India on 24-11-2016

Myself and Shri.Arun Vidwans representing the NAF, had a meeting today morning with Madam. Annie G Mathew, Joint Secretary, Department of Expenditure, Government of India. It was told that the issue of 5400 after 4 years relating to the staff of IA&AD was turned down by the implementation cell stating that the 7CPC has not recommended the same in the IA&AD chapter, rather it has recommended for a normal replacement. But the Deputy Secretary (Expenditure) after careful examination of the issue, reverted the file stating that, though there is no mention in the IA&AD chapter, the same has been clearly recommended in the Defence Accounts Chapter and hence shall be reconsidered. We are pursuing the matter with the Implementation Cell also. So it is not a good news for the time being. Some officers are still playing mischief. But I am sure that the final decision will be on our favour.
