NDGBGOA CIRCULAR ON
JWM(SG ) CADRE
Dear members,
OFB has
published the JWM(SG) cadre on 13/09/2018. It is felt that there is frustration
in JWM cadre regarding the promotion which is more among Technical cadre.
Our association has put its best effort in front of 7th
CPC before finalization its report. On behalf of NDGBGOA there was demand for
placing JWM in 5400 GP in PB-III. But MoD has recommended the cadre to be
placed in minimum 4800-GP at par with Gazetted officers in Railway and DAD and
above its there should be two cadre of 5400GP in PB-II (Section Manager, SG-II)
and 5400 GP in PB-III (Sr. Section Manager, SG-I) without considering it for
MACP. Queries from 7th CPC
and reply from MoD are enclosed here for your reference. Moreover, NDGBGOA has
demanded for Factory/Industrial
allowance of 15% in PB+ GP for all the Gazetted Officers working in Ordnance
factories which was not accepted and recommended by MoD. Finally 7th CPC has published
its recommendation and made every JWM in a deprived position. The
recommendation was as follows.
i. Of the total
pool of posts in GP 4200 and GP 4600, ten percent should be earmarked to be
placed in GP 4800.
ii. The posts
in GP 4800 should be filled up from personnel in GP 4200 and GP 4600 in the
following manner:
70 percent of
such earmarked posts should be filled up through promotion
from GP 4600;
30 percent
should be filled up through a Limited Departmental
Competitive
Examination in which employees from both GP 4200 and GP
4600 would be
eligible to compete. This will enable deserving and
meritorious
employees at GP 4200 to jump GP 4600 and go directly to GP
4800 [level 8].
iii. 80 percent
of the employees in GP 4800, will be eligible for non-functional upgrade to
level 9 [GP 5400 (PB-2)] upon completion of four years in level 8, on a
seniority-cum-suitability basis.
After 7th
CPC recommendation the Association has tried its best to change the
recommendation at MoD. There was a meeting with Additional Secretary (DP) on 30th
September 2016 in which she has not accepted our demand and told that on behalf
of MoD we have recommended better pay structure to 7th CPC but Pay
commission has not accepted that for which at this stage nothing can be done.
After that our Association
has studied all the possible way how to benefit the cadre and accordingly made
a proposal to make more JWM(SG) cadre as per Gazette notification for giving promotional
opportunities to the junior JWMs. NDGBGOA tried to see all the possibilities
and found that as per Gazette notification, all the 4200 GP should be counted
for creation of new post of JWM(SG). Accordingly NDGBGOA proposed for counting
MCM post for creating JWM(SG-Technical) post for increasing 1400 number of
post. Accordingly there would have nearly 3000 JWM(Technical (SG) post which
would have benefitted to Junior JWMs of Technical. All the JWMs promoted by
2010 would have got JWM(SG/Technical). But in this regard we have taken up with
MOD and explained the fact and MoD was also convinced. But it is deeply
regretted that OFB was against the proposal of considering MCM strength and in
all the meeting OFB Official were not agreed to our proposal. Similarly our
parallel Association has not supported the proposal of inclusion of MCM. More over
Chargeman Association has given representation against our proposal. Even today
our CE has representing in all forum for considering MCM strength to make JWM(SG-Technical) cadre.
As per Gazette notification
Of the total pool of
posts in GP 4200 and GP 4600, ten percent should be earmarked to be placed in
GP 4800.
It
does not says regarding feeder cadre only to be counted for the number of
JWM(SG) cadre. Therefore MCM could be considered as it carries GP of 4200.
Many persons got confusion and
interoperate that MCM will be considered for promotion to JWMs. But according
to the notificcation
30 percent should be filled
up through a Limited Departmental
Competitive
Examination in which employees from both GP 4200 and GP
4600 would be
eligible to compete. This will enable deserving and
meritorious
employees at GP 4200 to jump GP 4600 and go directly to GP
4800 [level 8].
MCM could have appeared for
LDCE Exam for SG cadre not for promotion as there is a incremental benefit from
MCM to Chargeman Promotion. Moreover if any MCM would have compete in LDCE for
getting JWM(SG Technical) what is the wrong in it. At present many person are
well qualified which should be kept in the organization for better carrier
prospect as well as development in organization with expertisation.
In this regard if all the
Association and Federation would have supported then today JWM(SG-Technical) we
would have got Approximately 3123 (present1723 post + 1400 If MCM
would have considered) total post of JWm(SG Technical) would have made. By this
JWM/Technical upto 2010 also would have got promotion to JWM(SG Technical).
But now JWM(Technical) those have got promotion in the year 2007 they
have only got SG promotion without any financial benefit as all have got their
MACP. In Non Technical and Store side some person has got financial benefit and
the JWM upto 2013 was taken for promotrion.
Now, NDGBGOA has taken up the
matter at Honorable CAT,Madras Bench to increase the strength of
JWM(SG-Technical) by adding 10% of MCM strength as per Gazette Notification. If
we will win in the case then Junior JWMs will be benefitted and in the same way
Number of post at Level 09 will be increased.
Next NDGBGOA will take
followings in priority basis for JWM cadre
as follows.
1. Increasing in JWM(SG_Technical) upto 3100 Number through Court case.
2. Increasing in strength in Level-9 upto 2420 Number.
3. One time filling of all the post without LDCE till the approval of SRO.
4. Cadre restructuring at par with DRDO Technical Cadre.
Senior
JWM(Technical) who are functioning as HOS may give their representation to The
DGOF regarding the JWM(SG) promotion
please.
Let us hope that we will
succeed in our demand.
