R/Sir,
The Central Executive Committee of
NDGBGOA directed the undersigned to request the Honorable Chairman & DGOF
to grant his valuable time to discuss the following points pertaining to Group
`B’ Gazetted Officer with the Office bearers of NDGBGOA at the earliest.
1.
Discrepancy in
cadre review proposal for JWM (Technical & Non-Technical) – It is brought to your kind notice that two
different proposals have been sent by OFB for JWM/NT. The cadre review proposal
forwarded to MoD by A/NG & A/NI
Section for JWM/NT are entirely different from one another. It is surprised to
note that OFB has sent two different proposals to MoD for one cadre of
JWM(N/T). Moreover, NDGBGOA proposes to make JWM(SG) or Section Manager in a
single grade in the grade pay of 5400(PB-3) and thereafter promotion to WM. As
the cadre review has taken a very long time, your personal intervention is
requested in this regard.
2.
Promotion from
JWM to AWM – It is deeply regretted
that all promotional orders by OFB is taking place in time except JWM to AWM.
Your kind intervention is requested in this regard.
3.
Advance DPC
for JWM to AWM Promotion:- It is regret to note that OFBoard is not serious
to grant promotion to JWM and every time
they assured but timely they have not setup advance DPC
committee for promotion JWM to AWM in time like a IOFS promotion .
4.
Publishing of
correct Seniority list of JWM(T/NT):- Recently O.F.Board has published Seniority list
where many names of JWM have been left out and
in this matter many times the
above discrepancies brought to notice of DIR/NG and DDG/NG. But till date OFB has not
published correct Seniority list. Seniority List should be published in
discipline wise.
5.
Reinitiate Cancelled Transfer Order:- NGDGBGOA has
discussed this points in various forum and every forum OFB has assured but no action has been taken so far.
6.
Transfer
policy – The transfer policy framed
by OFB is not strictly adhered to by OFB itself. It is brought to your kind
notice that in the recent transfer orders of JWMs, some JWMs who are having
less than two year service were transferred and some of the JWMs of HVF,Avadi
and SAF, Kanpur have been transferred although the existing strength there is
less than sanctioned strength. Moreover the JWMs who have got transfer on
compassionate ground are not being released by the concerned GMs.
7.
Nature of
duties of JWM(T) & (N/T) – The
matter has been regularly taken up by our association during all the meetings
with OFB wherein it was promised to publish the nature of work of JWM(T) &
JWM(N/T) in Ordnance Factories but till date it has not been published.
8.
Training of
Group `B’ Gazetted Officers–As JWMs
are functioning as Head of Sections in Ordnance Factories, the training for
JWMs may be conducted at NADP and not along with LDC/UDC/Chargeman.
9.
A/G Section
for all Gazetted Officers – As A/NG
Section is dealing with matters related to large number of Chargeman& JWM,
our association proposes that the dealings related to JWM should be carried out
by A/G Section.
10.
Issue of
briefcase to all the Group `B’ Gazetted Officers – Circular for issue of briefcase to all the Group B
Gazetted officers is not yet published by OFB although it was accepted by
Mem/Per during the meeting held on 22.01.2014.
11.
Direct
recruitment of Chargeman – It is
deeply regretted that JWM(T) are still continued by General Managers for Shift
Duty, Plant/Workshop Operations due to non-availability of Chargeman. Even
though OFB has made advertisement for recruitment for Chargeman in December
2013, it has not yet materialized. Your kind intervention is requested in this
regard.
12.
PLB & Risk
allowance – PLB should be granted to
all the Group `B’ Gazetted Officers as the cadre is directly involved in
production activities. Risk allowance should be extended to all Group `B’
Gazetted Officers posted in such sections wherever the Industrial Employees are
eligible.
13.
LDCE for AWM
from JWM – Provision of LDCE from JWM
to AWM may be initiated with proper revision in SRO of Group `A’ cadre for
better utilization of talent in Group B cadre.
14.
R&D and
modernization in Ordnance Factories –
R&D and modernization activities are not keeping pace with global
developments & therefore Ordnance Factories are lagging behind in these
areas. These activities should be
undertaken on time bound basis. For better R&D and modernization activities
in Ordnance Factories, the services of experienced&retired JWMs should be
utilized.
15.
Honorarium for
conducting inquiry – Honorarium
should be made to all Gazetted Officers for conducting departmental inquiry in
revise rates (O.M No. 142/15/2010-AVD, dated 31.07.2012)

Factories as many Staff & Officers are moving on deputation within short

hard station list as per recent transfer policy should be amended and it should
be at par with hard station list of DSC and Accounts.

meetings between OFB and NDGBGOA by which the follow up action for all the
points discussed can be taken care.
