Summer trials this year of upgraded indigenous battle tank

 - by     No comments:

Within a year of the government approving a project for an upgraded indigenous main battle tank (MBT), India's defence research agency has readied a Mark II version that will undergo summer and winter trials this year.
The defence ministry had last May given its nod to the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to develop the Arjun MkII MBT which would have enhanced features over the first lot of 124 tanks that have been delivered to the army over the last two years.
"The Arjun MkII tanks will go for summer trials this year and later for winter trials at the end of 2011," a defence ministry official said here today.
The army is already operating two regiments of Arjun tanks in the western sector and has placed an order for an additional 124 - two regiments - of the 58-tonne tanks from the Avadi-based manufacturer, Heavy Vehicles Factory.
The army gained confidence in operating the Arjun tanks, despite the initial hesitation, after the first two regiments were pitted against the Russian-built T-90 MBTs early last year in comparative trials in the desert terrain.
The Arjuns, army officers said, had outsmarted the T-90s in all the parameters set for the trials and had prompted the army top brass to admit that the tank was one of the best they had operated.
The Arjun MkII will have about a dozen changes from the first lot, being armed with missile firing capability through a laser homing device.
Though the missile system had been tested on the MkI version of the tank about five years ago, it did not form part of the final design of the initial 124 delivered to the army, and nor will it be mounted on the second lot of 124, ministry officials said.
The system, they said, would have a range of about eight kms, within which it could destroy enemy tanks after homing on to the target using a laser.
Other modifications include better explosive-reactive armour for the tank to protect it from enemy missiles and rockets, improving the sighting facility to provide it a wider view of the battlefield, including night vision capability, and a better communication system.

PM Launches Countrywide Mobile Number Portability

 - by     No comments:

PM Launches Countrywide Mobile Number Portability
Keep the Number Change the Service Provider
Telecommunications a key Tool for SOCIO Economic Transformation: PM

The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh launched Mobile Number Portability (MNP) Service in the country here today by making inaugural call to Shri Kapil Sibal, the Union Minister of Communications & IT from a ported number. Congratulating the Telecom Sector for the introduction of MNP and for being the fastest growing telecom market in the world, the Prime Minister said that the MNP is a shining example of how our telecommunications services have helped to widen human choices in a very important area of nation’s economic activity. Telecommunications provide a key tool for socio-economic transformation of our rural areas, he added.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Kapil Sibal said that though India has introduced Mobile Number Portability relatively late vis-à-vis other developed countries but at the same time it has done so by adopting latest technologies and methodology. India has now joined the band wagon of advanced countries like USA, UK, China etc. in providing the MNP. He further stated that seeing the size of the country, number of subscribers & their growth rate and the number of operators per Licensed Service Area, there will be hardly any country with a network of so much complexity where MNP has been implemented.

Implementation of MNP will not only give wider choices to the Indian subscribers but will also compel Service providers to offer innovative, affordable and competitive Tariff plans for the benefit of the masses

. He also said that commitment made at the time of pilot launching in Haryana in Nov’2010 has been kept today because of single minded efforts of all concerned. Congratulating engineers for the great job done, he said that making solution for the complex situation was possible only because of them.

Mobile Number Portability (MNP) Service will allow subscribers to retain their existing Mobile Telephone Number even when they switch from one access service provider to another irrespective of mobile technology or from one technology to another technology of the same or any other access service provider within the same service area.

The MNP Service was initially launched in Haryana Licensed Service Area on 25.11.2010 which served as a pilot and helped resolve all problems in the countrywide implementation. Subsequently, a phase-wise migration plan of networks in all the other Service Areas was worked out by DOT in coordination with Service Providers. During the migration process, validation of technical parameters was carried out for successful and smooth migration of the networks of various Service Areas. Technical migration activity has been completed as planned on 19.01.2011 which has completed the ground work for commencement of MNP Service on a commercial basis from 20.01.2011.

In his welcome address, Shri Sachin Pilot, the Minister of State for Communications & IT, said that after launch of MNP subscribers can change service providers keeping the same number. This is both threat and opportunity for the service providers.

The Secretary (DoT), Shri R. Chandrashekhar said on the occasion that the countrywide launch of MNP marks a watershed in the history of the telecom sector in India. Competition is set to intensify both on cost and quality making customer the king. He thanked the Prime Minister for making 750 million Indian subscribers the king.

From today mobile subscribers in all service areas across the country have the choice of selecting their telecom service provider within the Licensed Service Area without changing their number provided a minimum period of 90 days has elapsed after subscription to the mobile service of the current service provider. For availing this facility the subscriber has to generate a unique porting code (UPC) by sending an SMS (PORT Mobile number) to 1900. With this UPC, the subscriber has to do all the formalities of registering as a new subscriber and present the UPC to the new service provider. In J&K, the pre-paid subscriber shall call to 1900 and get the UPC from the operator.

90 days time is required to be completed with the existing service provider before applying for porting. Porting has to be completed within 7 working days except for J&K, Assam and North East Service Areas where 15 days time has been prescribed. TRAI has put a ceiling of Rs. 19/- on porting charges which the new service provider may collect from the subscriber. Post-paid subscribers before making the porting request, have to make sure that their last bill has been paid failing which the request for change to a new service provider shall be rejected. In the case of pre-paid subscriber any balance amount left will not be carried forward when the number is transferred to the new service provider.

GENERAL PROVIDENT FUND (GPF)-THINK BEFORE WITHDRAWAL

 - by     5 comments:

The biggest asset for a central govt employees is General Provident Fund(GPF).There is a saying that droplets of water in duration of time forms the ocean.

Similarly the amount saved every month elaborates itself to a huge amount at the time of one's retirement thus arising in shoulder as a friend making his life prosperous.

For this single most reason was the scheme of  GPF has been implemented.
In reality other than a few most of the central government employees do not let the GPF amount to be saved to its fullest.When there arises a situation for them to be rendered financially the immediate thought  that flashes across their mind is GPF.

Not only for the above reasons, but also to finance for the purchase of Luxury items and for touring places during holidays GPF has been blatantly utilized.During the young and middle age of one's life the important of GPF is not known to them or to say they are ignorant of it.

When the years have rolled by and one attains his retirement age only a meagre amount would be left in his GPF.This situation has happened in many people's life.
Central govt employees should averted unnecessary spending of  money in his youth to get huge amount for his retirement stage.

Dearness Allowance and increment of 3% received in a year  should be saved and utilized when there arises a immediate need financially
Hence central govt employees consider General Provident Fund as their biggest asset and safe guard it would definitely gives a safe and secure future.

Employees threaten stir over 6th pay arrears

 - by     No comments:

PANAJI: The co-ordination committee of the Goa Government Employees, affliated to All India Trade Union Congress, has threatened an agitation before the directorate of accounts as class 'D' government employees are yet to get arrears of the Sixth Pay Commission.

In a press release, the committee stated it objects to the decision of the directorate of accounts in issuing an "arbitrary, unjust and improper circular" dated December 12, 2010, citing that an office memorandum of the Government of India, ministry of personnel, public grievances and pensions dated September 9, 2010 "clearly states that all government employees will get the benefits due between January 1, 2006 and August 31, 2008, including the LDC and UDC respectively."

The committee further stated that the finance department had instructed the director of accounts and other departments to allow the grade pay in fixation at the time of financial upgradation and that such employees would give an undertaking to refund the amount in case the clarification received from government of India is not in consonance with the decision of the government of Goa.

The committee further pointed out that the directorate of accounts, the public works department, electricity department, river navigation department, education department etc, are yet to deposit the arrears of the sixth pay commission in the General Provident Fund, as a result of which, government employees including Class D will be losing interest.

'The government should therefore deposit the arrears with interest in the GPF account. The Class D employees are living hand to mouth, and for whom even a slight rise in their pay scales makes a great difference in the living conditions of their families,' the press release stated.

'If the director of accounts starts to revoke/recover the benefit of upgradation granted to LDC/UDC from January 2011 and does not disburse the arrears due to them, then its members will be forced to agitate in front of the directorate of accounts,' states the press release signed by the committee's general secretary Saturnino Mesquita.

Roadways employees demand payment of salary

 - by     No comments:

ALLAHABAD: The employees of Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) staged a demonstration on Thursday at their regional office to protest against the non-payment of their salary.

The employees said that they would be given half the amount of their salary. The employees added that as they had worked for the full month, then what is the point in giving half salary.

Addressing the protesters, Lal Tiwari, joint secretary of UP Roadways Employees' Union, said that if the management fails to pay the salary, then the earnings of UPSRTC from Allahabad region would not be allowed to be taken to Lucknow by taking consent from the central leadership of the union.

S S Malviya, a union member, questioned the rationale of disbursement of half amount of the salary as the UPSRTC is not incurring any loss.

"All the buses are plying full. The top officials of the UPSRTC do not want the employees to lead a peaceful life," he alleged.

Addressing the protesters, Ramakant Tripathi, regional president of UP Roadways Employees' Union, said that the income of the UPSRTC is about Rs 5 crore per day and expenses come out to be Rs 4 crore per day. "Though the roadways is earning Rs 1 crore per day, the salaries are not being distributed to the employees," he said.

India Post seeks actuarial consultant to weigh funds

 - by     1 comment:

NEW DELHI: India Post is set to appoint an actuarial consultant to value its various insurance funds, a move which forms precursor to bring its insurance business under control of sectoral regulator, insurance regulatory and development authority (Irda). 
The postal department has called for proposals from qualified actuaries to value its insurance scheme funds such as, post office life insurance fund (POLIF) and rural post office life insurance fund (RPOIF). The POIF had around 40 lakh policies while RPOIF had around 135 lakh policies at the end of March 2010. 
The department, which runs its postal life insurance (PLI) and rural postal life insurance (RPLI) schemes as an agency function of the finance ministry, earlier sought to set up a corporate entity to handle insurance schemes to give it autonomy in functioning. Irda regulations mandate every life and non-life insurer to appoint an actuary with life insurance businesses mandated to have a permanent official for the post. 
According to the letter of invitation (LoI) issued by the department, the actuary will analyse various aspects of the funds including their expenses and premium income to certify the solvency of the funds. The consulting actuary will initially be appointed for a period of two years, which can be extended later by one more year. 
Actuarial valuation are used to assess risk in the insurance and finance industries. For traditional life insurance, actuarial science focuses on analysis of mortality, production of life tables and application of compound interest to produce life insurance, annuities and endowment policies. 
The department of posts have been lagging behind despite having a formidable distribution base of over 1.55 lakh post offices. The department has proposed to create a corporate entity to handle the schemes, a move that will liberate it to introduce innovative products that can compete with private players effectively. 
The opinion of law ministry was also sought if Irda could take control over the department’s insurance business. As per provision of the LIC Act, PLI is a ‘scheme run by central government’ . Hence it is neither a company nor a body corporate , but is part of a department of the central government. On the contrary , Insurance Act defines an ‘insurer’ as any individual or un-incorporated body of individuals or body corporate incorporated under law. 
Even as the debate on regulatory control of postal life insurance goes on, the department has requested for greater autonomy to its insurance schemes as it looks to expand its financial services business. “Corporatisation of the life insurance business will enable the postal department to compete with private insurance players on a level playing field,” said an official in the department, who asked not to be named.

Employees may not be able to challenge CAT judgement in SC directly

 - by     No comments:

NEW DELHI: Bad news is in store for government employees contesting matters relating to their service conditions in the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) as they may not be able to challenge the judgement in the Supreme Court.

Government employees not satisfied with CAT orders on their service matters will continue to appeal in High Courts as government’s plan to enable them approach the apex court directly has received a thumbs down from the top law officer.

Recently, the Department of Personnel had asked the Law Ministry whether the present system of CAT orders being challenged in High Courts be changed to fast track disposal of cases of government employees relating to their service conditions and employment rules.

The Law Ministry referred the matter to Attorney General Ghoolam Vahanvati who opined against the move saying a 1997 Supreme Court judgement on the issue should continued to be followed.

“As of now, the buck stops here (on the issue),” Law Minister M Veerappa Moily told PTI when asked to comment on Vahanvati’s opinion.
He said his ministry was trying to find a solution. “But I would not like to add anything more to it,” he added.

When the CAT was established in 1985 by an Act of Parliament, its rules clearly stated that its judgements on service related matters of state and central government employees can only be challenged in the apex court.
While the same rules is in operation even today, a 1997 Supreme Court ruling held that judicial review is the basic feature of the Constitution and a High Court’s power on judicial review cannot be taken away.

After the judgement, appeals against CAT rulings were entertained in High Courts.  “The Armed Forces Tribunal Act has been borrowed from CAT. Appeals against Tribunal’s orders can only be challenged in the Supreme Court. But in CAT’s case, it has become a three tier system…the entire purpose of CAT has been defeated,” said a CAT functionary.

He said while CAT usually disposes off a case  in six months, appeal in High Court often takes years.
“They pay Rs 50 as fee to move CAT, but they have to pay  thousands of rupees in High
Court…if the matter reaches Supreme Court, the time and cost involved is massive,” he said.

Govt employees meet panel on pay scales upgradation

 - by     No comments:

PANAJI: Goa government employees association (GGEA) and coordination committee of Goa government employees (Co-CO-GGOE) on Monday met the newly appointed committee set up by the government for deciding upgradation of payscales to the left out categories of government employees, corporations and autonomous bodies.

The meeting was chaired by law secretary Pramod Kamat along with his financial advisors Damodar J Naik and Suhas Bhatikar.

Both the delegations informed the committee that the selective upgradation given over the years, has created discontent among the employees. GGEA also submitted worksheets justifying that the monthly liability on account of upgradation will be approximately 4 crore as against 15.91 crore projected by the earlier committee constituted under the chairmanship of Raajiv Yadhuvanshi, the then finance secretary.

At Monday's meeting, the law secretary as well as the committee members assured the two delegations that appropriate immediate steps would be undertaken by the state government with a view to resolve the long pending issue, Co-C0-GGOE general secretary Saturnino Mesquita said here.

CHILDREN EDUCATION ALLOWANCE SCHEME-NEED FEW MODIFICATIONS

 - by     No comments:

CHILDREN EDUCATION ALLOWANCE (CEA)-It can be said to be foremost among the benefits given to Central Government Employees.For this we are very much in grate full  to the 6th CPC.Have made a few modifications Children Education Allowance would certainly be a very useful allowance for which there arises no doubt.

Granting CEA for school level or  first and second year in polytechnic slightly results in lapsing of its usage.It should be given up to the period of attaining a bachelor degree.Only on this basis education would be complete.

If there arises a situation when it would not be given so then education loan should be given similar to the House Building Advance.

It should be granted without any interest.

The way  of giving Rs 1000 ( i.e 12000 per year) is in practice at present,on the basis of producing the exact bill.

This should be modified of sanctioning the total amount eligible for a year to be granted without submission of bills.

In case a situation in which a government servant demises, the government by itself  should undertake the education expenses of his children.

Normally CEA is given to only first two children of a central govt employee.But he may have more than two children who may all  be intellectually different.Hence the CEA should be given any two children as he wish.

Parents (Central Govt Employee) of students who excel in education or sports should be rewarded by a special increment  or by any other means.

Likewise by making small changes in CEA, certainly it would be celebrated as a  super allowance by the employees.

The Federations of  central govt employees should concentrate in these obligations to be brought to the notice of the Central Government.

Education is the back bone of a  nation.Eminent citizen would be begotten by education alone.
Conclusively and certainly education is not only useful for the home.But also for the nation on the whole.
