Sub- Cadre Review of JWMs-Reg
Respected Sir,
The Central Executive of this Association request your
kind intervention and necessary action for an early Cadre review of JWM Cadre
of Ordnance Factories in a time bound manner priority. It is brought to your
kind notice that Cadre Restructuring of Group B Cadre in Ordnance factories has
not being carried out during the last 23
years which is demoralizing the whole cadre due to lack of any career
prospects. Effectively, Group B cadres
are eligible to get only MACP benefit without any promotional avenue. Even
after implementation of 7th CPC and Gazette notification for JWM
cadre, OFB has not yet implemented the proposal in Ordnance Factories. Only
recommendations of preceding pay
commissions are being implemented for the Group B cadre. Ordnance Factory Board
is not able to carry out any cadre restructuring proposal till date. Therefore,
it is requested to complete the cadre restructuring of Group B Cadre in
Ordnance Factories either by OFB or by outside agency at the earliest please.
Sir, It is
brought to your kind notice, that 5th and 6th CPC has
demoralized the middle management cadre due to merging the cadres as a result the cadre became is left without
any promotional prospect except MACP benefits. The promotional channel for 7256 JWMs (Group B Gazetted) has been
compressed to 188 AWM (Group A) with ratio of 39:1 which is negligible. The
promotional channel for Group B cadre is as follows:
AWM-188
JWM-7265 (AFTER RATIONALISATION)
CM -12085 (AFTER RATIONALISATION)
Sir, after
implementation of 6th CPC OFB constituted a Committee for Cadre
Restructuring of Group B (NG, G) cadre headed by Shri P.W.Ralegankar (IOFS).
The committee has made a detailed study on Stagnation of the Cadre and
submitted a feasible proposal on 07/09/2012. But OFB has not taken any decision
on the proposals till date. In the meanwhile 7th CPC
recommendations were implemented, however, OFB is yet to implement the 7th
CPC proposals relevant to Group B (NG, G) cadre as well.
Sir,
It is our sincere opinion that if we, the organization as a whole,
want to involve seriously and sincerely to restore our core competency towards
indigenous production of Arms and Weapons to meet our defence preparedness then
we strongly feel that it is essential to address the deviation occurred from
the system prevailed earlier and it is of paramount importance to rectify it at
least now through a meaning full cadre review at middle management level. This
can be seen in other Government Organisation like DRDO, ISRO, CSIR, Department
of Atomic Energy (DAE) and all Public Sector Unit. The middle management cadres
were given proper promotional avenue in all these organization.
In view of above, Central Executive of this
Association propose followings for cadre review for the middle management cadre
in Ordnance factory Organisation at the earliest.
1.
Cadre
Restructuring of Group B (G &NG) to be presented in such a way to make minimum 06 Promotional Avenue in the
service span (30-35 Year) at par with other cadre (Group C & A) without
stagnation.
2.
Cadre
Restructuring of Group B (G &NG) may be undertaken by an OUT SIDE AGENCY which
can submit it report within a time frame of 06 month to OFB and MoD.
3.
AWM
post may be considered as a probationary post and Group B Gazetted can be
considered to promote directly to WM (Level-11) by giving importance to the
experience in Ordnance factories.
The Central Executive of this
Association requests your kind intervention, speedy direction and early
finalization of Cadre review of Group B cadre in Ordnance factories please.
With
profound regards,
Yours faithfully.

Sub:
Incentive Scheme for Group B Gazetted Officer of Ordnance
Factories –Reg.
xxxxxxx
R/Sir,
Sir,
Group B Gazetted Officers are the most experienced Cadre in the Organisation,
those who used to take the whole responsibility of Safety, Quality,
Productivity and administration of each section. After implementation of 6th
CPC, all the cadres were benefitted in Ordnance factories Organisation except
Group B Gazetted cadre. The monthly salary of a Group B Gazetted Officers
became less as compared to their subordinate employees because of removal of
Allowances like OTA, NDA, and Bonus. Therefore most of the Group B Gazetted
Officers are demoralised in the organisation because of the lower pay than the
subordinate employee and negligible promotional aspect.
OFBoard was
constituted a Committee on incentive scheme before two year but the Committee
report was not yet finalised and submitted. Once again OFB has constituted a
new committee which may kindly be expedited at the earliest and Group B
Gazetted Officer may kindly be granted incentive scheme.
The central Executive of this
Association request you to implement
incentive scheme for Group B Gazetted officer at the earliest please.
Thanking you,
Yours Faithfully.
