the strength of JWM (Technical) selection grade in level 08 with one time
relaxation for filling 100% quota through promotion only. 80% of this proposed
post strength should be placed in (GP-5400) Level-9 immediately. In case of
non-acceptance for inclusion of MCM strength, CE will approach court of law.

this regard NDGBGOA (CE) taken up THE MATTER with CDRA for projecting the
case IN THE Anomaly Committee for

4.
NEW CADRE REVIEW PROPOSAL FOR JWM CADRE- The
House unanimously decided for proposing ‘new cadre review proposal’ at par with
Department of Atomic energy, DRDO, ICAR, CSIR for time bound promotion without
concentrating on promotional channel to Group A entry of IOFS. For group A
entry as IOFS cadre has to compressed in between Level-7 to Level-9 and there
are negligible post (188 Posts) in Group A entry at level-10. Even if it
increases then also it cannot become more than 300 posts which will not going
to solve the promotional prospects of JWMs in proportionate to the strength of
JWM’s.
Therefore
the House unanimously decided to propose new proposal on cadre review like DAE,
DRDO as Technical Officer and Administrative Officer B,C,D,E,F,G to get
promotional avenues in the level 7,8,9,10,11,12 without concentrating
promotional avenue of Group A entry in Level 10.
5.

this regard House unanimously decided to take up the issue to MoD as well as WITH
OFB for making Parity between MOD/OFB Head Quarters and Ordnance Factories. Accordingly Cadre Review proposal for Sr.PS/PS
in Ordnance Factories should be sent to OFB.
6.
DPC FOR PROMOTION TO JTS FROM JWM- As the case is pending in
the honourable Supreme Court regarding promotional policy it will be decided
after verdict from Honourable Supreme court.

REVISED TRANSFER POLICY FOR JWM AND SR.PS/PS- In this regard the house condemned the new
revised Transfer policy which was published by OFB. In this regard CE already
sent a letter to OFB and MoD for withdrawal but till date OFB has not withdrawn
the transfer policy. One more letter may be sent to OFB and MOD for withdrawal

RECENT NEWS ON PPP MODEL IN ORDNANCE FACTORIES AND ASSOCIATION
DECISION-
In this regard, there was a thread bare
discussion in the House on the future of Ordnance factories. Feedback has been
taken from various factories regarding the ordnance products which are being
procured by private sectors. It is observed that the products which are decided
as non-core items were already being procured from outside trade firms due to
low cost. Outsourcing of age-old product components is not the big issue for us
as MOD has asked ordnance factories to changeover their products as per
users/forces requirement. Now users are demanding advanced technology arms and
ammunitions which are presently being imported from foreign countries. Now this
becomes big challenge for us to how to convert and upgrade ourselves. It is
decided in CE that our R&D department and design department in each factory
should be strengthen enough by deploying highly qualified and core area
experienced staff in that department with accountability of progress in time
frame manners. It is observed that many of the ODC (development centres) and
design departments are not equipped with proper manpower resulting in poor
performance of establishing new products for ordnance factories. As till date
nothing has come from OFB or MoD on Paper regarding PPP model, so CE decided to
take proper decision once it has come on paper.
10.
SRO FOR JWM (TECH) AND JWM (NON TECH)-
Central Executive Committee decided to take
up the matter with OFB to incorporate the corrections in the proposed New
Gazette / SRO forwarded by OFB which is at DOP&T.
