Ref:- Your letter
No. 19-31/2012-WL&Sports dated 12.07.2013.
Sir,
The welfare scheme cannot be contributory. It is responsibility of the state to
look after the welfare of staff—holders of civil post included. We don’t agree
to this contributory scheme replacing the present scheme. However, we shall
appreciate the scheme, if it is provided as an additional measure apart from
the existing one.
With our strong protest to the scheme replacing the present one and treating it
as an additional welfare measure, we are offering our para wise views and
suggestions is the enclosed Annexure, for improving the provision of scheme.
We are still to receive feed-back from our Circle and grass root formations and
shall be offering further views/suggestions later on. Hence we suggest that the
implementation of the scheme may be extended to 1.10.2013 to have wide
consideration to make it a perfect scheme.
With regards,
Yours faithfully
S.S. Mahadevaiah
General Secretary
