No.- NDGBGOA/Rep/Def.Minister/2016 Date: 05 July 2016
To,
The Honorable Defence Minister,
Government of India,
New Delhi.
Sub: Up-gradation of group ‘B’ cadre in ordnance factories and rationalization of cadres’ structure prior to implementation of 7th CPC as committed.
Ref: Meeting with you on 30 June 2015 and memorandum submitted to you.
R/Sir,
The National Defence Group ‘B’ Gazette Officers Association is keen to invite your kind attention for to intervene while implementation of 7th CPC.
Prior to 4th CPC, Ordnance Factories Organization was possessing 07 (Seven) level of middle management cadre i:e Supervisor to Head of Section. It was reduced to 05 posts in 4th pay commission and 04 posts in 5th Pay Commission. But it reduced to 02 posts of lower pay scales after implementation of 6th CPC. Due to merging of middle management cadre the level of supervision has reduced which results in Hierarchy problem and cadre controlling problem. In any industrial sector for monitoring the progressive industry there are high morale middle management supervisory cadre having sufficient career prospectus. Due to reduction of post the supervisory cadre is able to get only one promotion before its retirement. As there is very less scope of Promotional aspects the middle management cadre is demoralizing in the Ordnance Factory Organisation. The practically achievable financial benefits for Group ‘B’ cadre direct entry level post as compared with Group ‘C’ cadre and Group ‘A’ cadre direct entry level posts are very less.
Our Association shows our deep concern over the current affairs in 7th CPC and inadequate recommendation with substandard views for Group ‘B’ supervisory cadre in OFB organization. The Group B cadre Gazetted & non Gazetted is the back bone of the OFB organization as middle management and without their contribution the Production targets, automation, modernization, quality objectives could not be achieved.
The Central Executives of this association meet you in your Office on 30/06/2015 and submitted our memorandum with elaborate discussions. We have submitted 11 points for intervention of Honorable Defence Minister. In this regard a meeting was held at MoD with Joint Secretary, MoD/LS and OFB Official on 24/09/2015 with our associations CE office bearers and the Official minutes were issued by MoD for timely action on all the issues. But sir, we convey our serious disappointment as well as unhappiness for not reasonably dealt with our demands mainly up gradation and cadre review.
Sir, it is humbly requested to kindly consider our demands for placing Junior works Manager in Level 8(4800) and upgradation after four year to level 9 at par with other department in the implimentation of 7th CPC.
Thanking You,
Yours faithfully,
