AIGDSU DHARNA REMAINS MILE STONE AND LANDMARK IN
GDS TRADE UNION MOVEMENT.
NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF POSTAL TRADE UNION
MOVEMENT SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF ARRESTS WERE MADE.
Dear Comrades,
CHQ congratulates office bearers, circle secretaries,
Divisional, Branch Secretaries and well wishers of GDS for making unprecedented
and thundering success of 19.12.2014 Dharna.
You will be pleased to know that nearly three thousand
Gramin Dak Sevaks from different parts of the country assembled in Dak Bhavan
early morning at 8:00 A.M. on 19.12.2014 to stage dharna to protest against
Department of Posts unwillingness to implement the written agreement between
Department of Posts and All India Gramin Dak Sevaks Union dated 21.2.2014 to
the effect that a Pay Committee headed by a judge of Supreme Court/High Court
will be appointed to determine the pay structure & service conditions of
the Gramin Dak Sevaks. This has not been implemented till date. We were
therefore compelled to launch Massive Dharna. The Government instead of
allowing GDS to stage a peaceful dharna, arrested them and detained them till
late evening.
Three thousand GDS
employees continued Dharna while in custody with slogans up to 5:00 P.M. in the
police station. AIGDSU congratulates thousands of Gramin Dak Sevaks who
willingly courted arrest for their sacrifice and heroic act. This act glorified
AIGDSU as the real fighter for the cause of Gramin Dak Sevaks. Com. S.S.
Mahadevaiah, General Secretary and Com. Rajangam, President met senior officers
of the Prime Minister office and submitted the memorandum. Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah explained the
happenings in detail. Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah, General Secretary and Com. B.V.
Rao, Asst. General Secretary negotiated with SP in the evening. All the three
thousand GDS employees released unconditionally late in the evening.
We have fought a glorious
struggle. We shall continue our struggle till our demands are met. AIGDSU
acknowledges with gratitude the support & solidarity we got from AITUC and
the Hon’ble Member of Parliament Sri. Dilipji Gandhi.

MEMORANDUM TO HON’BLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA
Most Respectfully We, Gramin Dak Sevaks, working in
the Department of posts are submitting memorandum for your kind perusal and
favourable action.
Gramin Dak Sevaks (Perviously called Extra
Departmental Agents) are rendering valuable services to the rural India working
in the nook and corner of the country for last hundred and fifty years with low
wages Rs. 5000 to 10000 per month. Gramin Dak Sevaks are unique in the Postal
Department. They are denied to grant pension, Medical facilities and 8 hour pay
though they are working more than 8 hours in practical.
Gramin Dak Sevaks are main source of Income to the
Department of posts. Gramin Dak Sevaks procured 1,46,64,650 Rural Postal Life
Insurance Active policies through Branch Post offices. Seventy Six thousand Crores of rupees are
earned through this scheme by Gramin Dak Sevaks.
Government of India enacted Mahatma Gandhi National
Rural employment Guarentee Act (MGNREGA) in September 2005. The scheme came
into effect in all districts in the country from 1st April 2008. The
scheme is operational through 96, 375 Branch Post offices. During the period
from April 2013 to February 2014, 63 crores 90 lakhs MGNREGA accounts were
opened and an amount of ten thousand four hundred crores was disbursed.
In order to ensure quality of service under
MGNREGA, Gramin Dak Sevaks are working 8 to 10 hours per day. Various social
security pension schemes are also operational through Branch Post offices in
rural India. Branch Post offices in Andhra Pradesh Circle are doing Adhaar
Enabled Payment of wages/benefits under MGNREGA and other social security
schemes with the support of M/S A.P. online. 9000 Micro ATMs have been deployed
by the circle for doing the DBT (Direct benefit transfer) payment to the wage
workers. Gramin Dak Sevaks have to attend more than 8 hours per day to these
additional work besides normal Branch Post office work. They have to pay only
0-50 paise as incentive per account by the Department of Posts.
We are requesting the Hon’ble Prime Minister
keeping all the points in view, to take necessary steps to regularize Gramin
Dak Sevaks and provide 8 hours work to serve the Rural People. We are ready to
work 8 hours duty to implement various schemes under IT project going to be
introduced by the Government of India for the welfare of rural people to lessen
the poverty among the common man.
We are also praying the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s
intervention to appoint judiciary committee to examine wage structure and
service conditions of Gramin Dak Sevaks as the Government of India appointed 7th
Central Pay Commission headed by retired
Supreme Court Judge Sri Ashok Kumar Mathur.
The Gramin Dak Sevaks are having high hopes and
expectations on the honourable Prime Minister who knows very well than any
other leader in India the difficulties of down trodden to consider the
justified demands of Gramin Dak Sevaks.
Yours faithfully

Committee. The Secretary informed that the Department has taken firm decision

MEMORANDUM
Respected Sir,
All India Gramin Dak Sevaks Union on behalf of two
lakh sixty thousand Gramin Dak Sevaks in the Department of Posts most
respectfully submit the memorandum on pressing and urgent problems of Gramin
Dak Sevaks, working in the nook and corner of the country to extend valuable
services to the rural people by implementing the various schemes such as
MGNREGS, SSPO, PLI, RPLI etc. introduced by the Govt. of India efficiently and
honestly for the welfare of ordinary people.
The Gramin Dak Sevaks the main source to the
Department of Posts to generate revenue through small saving scheme and Rural
Postal Life Insurance.
Unfortunately these low paid employees are being
neglected after independence to grant minimum wages and facilities. They are
denied to grant minimum pension at par with the pension granted to the people
in old age by state Government. After rendering forty years service to the
department of posts, they have to spend miserable life after retirement as the
Department of posts denied to grant Pension to Gramin Dak Sevaks.
The Govt. of India appointed 7th Central
Pay Commission to examine the wages and service conditions of the Departmental
employees. But the Department of posts denied to appoint judiciary committee to
examine the wage structure and service conditions of Gramin Dak Sevaks though
there was an agreement made between this union and Member (P) of the Department
of Posts.
Hence this union is humbly requesting the kind
intervention of hon’ble Prime Minister
and cause suitable and necessary instructions to the Department of posts
for the appointment of judiciary committee.
This union is
herewith submitting the signatures of the GDS employees of 500 districts from
28 states praying the intervention of Hon’ble Prime Minister.
Yours faithfully,
(S.S. Mahadevaiah)
