NOINO’s 2 more demands acceded – Computer Advance & Prev. Health Check-up

NOINO has been continuously highlighting the plight of the Class I Officers & the huge pressures they are subjected to. It has been on the forefront in taking efforts for reducing these pressures & fulfilling the just aspirations of the officers. The continuous follow-up of the issues with the management, which is the hallmark of NOINO, has brought unprecedented success & succour to the officers. The realization of the two above demands, viz. Computer advance & Preventive Health Check-up are live examples of the same.

You are aware that NOINO was the first to submit a comprehensive charter of demands to the management on 23^rd July 2012. The two demands which have been realized now were also included in the Charter of demands. They read as follows:--

Preventive Health Check-up: “ALL OFFICERS should be allowed reimbursement of fees for getting Executive Health Check-up every year up to age 45, every six months thereafter. There is an urgent need for upward revision in the scale of Fees reimbursable.”

Computer advance: “Full purchase price to be allowed. It should include all peripherals & should be free of any interest”.

Thereafter, the last (Extended) EC meeting of NOINO was held on 5^th & 6^th November 2012 at Dehradun. We had a re-think on all the pressing demands of the Class I officers. With this in mind, in the meeting we passed Resolutions on different issues which were pending for acceptance by the management. Two of the resolutions related to – 1. Resolution No. 6: Advance for purchase of Personal Computer, and 2. Resolution No. 7: Preventive Health Check-up. A copy each of above resolutions is attached, herewith, for your ready reference. Later during our meeting with management, we conveyed the resolutions to them and discussed the matters. On different more occasions also we raised the issues and discussed.

We are pleased to announce that above 2 demands have been accepted by the management. The revision in rules on “Advance for purchase of Computer/Laptop, iPad/Tablet” is almost the same as we had suggested vide our Resolution, while the revision in “Preventive Health Check-up Scheme” is quite low if compared to our suggestions, though they accepted our suggestion to extend it to all officers/employees.

We thank the management for acceding to our demands.

Full details of the revision are available in CO Personnel Circular Nos. CO/Per/ER-A/023/2013 dated 11/03/2013 and CO/PER/ER-A/026/2013 dated 12^th March, 2013.

We shall continue to strive for further improvements in the revisions wherever required.
