A meeting with the various Association pursuant to the decision of GOM

held on 11.10.2010.
The committee was mainly represented by Joint Secretary (MIB),, Joint
Secretary(Personnel)D/0 Expenditure, Joint Secretary (E), DOPT and Additional

The ADASA was represented by Vice-President, General Secretary, Delhi
Zonal Secretary, Chairman, Maharashtra & Goa Zonal Council, and Shri R. S.
Chauhan, AO who presented the issue before the Group of Joint Secretary.
The representative of ADASA exclusively addressed the issue related with
the merit of the demand based on the observation of GOM meeting held on
17.6.2010.
Attention was invited to the yardstick which was applied while deciding the
case of Engineering & Programme Cadre in the year 1999 and the related
observation of DOPT and Department of Expenditure regarding the Diplome holder
Engineering Assistants and AE’s being the Universal Cadre.
The representative of ADASA also contestd the issue related with the
observation of GOM regarding the LDC/UDC being the universal cadre. Since the
Recruitment Rules, Service condition and the nature of duties of LDC/UDC working
in AIR & Doordarshan are entirely different from the LDC/UDC working in Central
Secretariat and in other department. Hence, it cannot be compared merely on the
designation.
A copy of the presentation submitted by ADASA is also enclosed for your
information.
We are not aware whether committee have the requisite mandate to decide
the issue but at the same time the view point of ADASA cannot be ignored by the
committee.
Wish you a very happy Dusshera & Diwali.
