Sir, since then, the Min. of I B has started a vital role for

,

implementing the 'divide rule' policy among the staff of Prasar

Bharati by allowing aNon-government Pay scale which is higher than

the prescribed Government Pay Scale to a section of Employees those

who are common cadres (like helper, Technician, Sr. Technician, Jr.

Engineer, Asstt. Engineer etc.) in other various Government

Departments through-out India only on that ground that they were called

agitation programme (this has clearly reflected in the order of

The Hon'ble Chairman.

(Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, by name)

Committee on Petitions,

Parliamentary Standing Committees.

Lok Sabha,

Government of India,

New Delhi - 110001.

Sub. : It is a humble petition of Sh. Ajay kataria, Zonal Chairman

Sh. R.N .Meena, Member of Akashvani Doordarshan

Administrative Staff Association of Delhi Zone.

Sir,

The petitioners are working as Administrative Staff in Prasar

Bharati and belongs to the Akashvani Doordarshan Administrative

Staff Association i.e. ADASA.

Sir, the Prasar Bharati had promulgated on 15/05/1997 appointed day

was 23/11/1997 under the Prasar Bharati Act,1990 and then the

Akashvani Doordarshan have been converted as PSU in the Name of

Prasar Bharati under control of Ministry of Information Broadcasting.



Through the above, the Ministry of I B has constituted an

example in the world that, out of Prasar Bharati, not a single Department

either Government or PSU in the world is exist, where utilizing the

'divide rule' policy by introducing two quite different standard of

wages among the staffs which are running concomitantly in different

names from the fund of Government of India i.e. One is in the name of

Prasar Bharati and another is in the name of Government Pay Scale.

This matter generating the feeling that the Min. of I B treated us as

Second Class Employees inspite of our the best contribution towards the

service. Further this disparity has created severe strain between the

Employees who are enjoying the benefit of Higher Pay Scale and the

Administrative Employees those are continuously depriving. Resulting

which, it is demoralizing the faith and it is not in the good interest of the

Organization as well as for the Country.

To protest the above ideology of Ministry of I B, the

Administrative Staffs had go through various agitation programmes

(including Fast unto death), Correspondences and Physical approach.

But sorry to inform that the Ministry of I B did not come across even

after their written assurance.

After placing several merits in this regard before the Min. of I B, the

Min. of I B had approach this matter before the GOM. Accordingly,

the GOM had decided to constitute a Co~mittee of Joint Secretary

(COJS) constituting of Joint Secretaries belonging to Ministry of I B,

DOP T, Finance and Law to consider the issue of Wages

discrimination arising out of the upgraded Pay Scale granted to certain

categories.

Here, interesting matter is that the COJS (Annex.-B) had

admitted that the grantation of higher Pay Scale was allowed to One

Section illogically because they have Common Categories and strongly

recommended to withdraw the Higher Pay Scale over and above the

recommendation of Central Pay Commission.



But, it is also fact that the recommendation of the COJS is un-

presidented because, the above discrimination always can be removed

by extending the benefits to the deprived only.

As such, even after submission of the above recommendation before the

Ex. GOM on 2011, the GOM had kept pending the matter without any

decision till it dissolved on formation of New Government.

As a result, the Administrative Staff still depriving whereas the

above beneficial sections are still enjoying the Higher Pay Scale from

the Government fund without any factual merit as per prescribed Rules

Regulation of Government of India.

Here is the another fact which should be disclose before you

that,' to deprive the administrative staffs of Prasar Bharati, the Ministry

of I

B was issued a notification in the year 1994 for changing

designation of CG-II

CG-I. The above notification had issued only to

treat Administrative Cadre as common cadre for depriving forcefully

and this has reflected in the clarification of DO, AIR, New Delhi that,

there is no record available in office under which it can be treated that

such changing of designation of Administrative Staffs has been done

with a merit. More worthy of note that the re-designated Employees are

still governed by all criteria of CG-II

CG-I even after completion of

21 (Twenty-One) years of re-designation. Copy of the clarification

acquired by the Citizen of India through RTI is enclosed for ready

reference. (Annex .•C)

Secondly, the Ministry of I

B through Prasar Bharati is

allowing Higher Pay Scale to the Employees those who are holding the

post of Administrative Wing on deputation basis than the regular

Employees of Government of India.

Sir, it is obligatory to state that as the Prasar Bharati Pay Scale had been

extended to certain Common Cadres not as Government Employees

per se but as

an incentive to opt for being employees of Prasar

Bharati (this has clearly reflected in file Noting of Ministry of Law and



Justice, Department of Legal Affairs vide FTS No. 1982/2014/B

Annex-D), then the question is not factual that under what

circumstances the above incentive is still away from Administrative

Staffs ( )

Notwithstanding to mention here that the Ministry of I

B is still

extending the retrospective effect of Prasar Bharati Pay Scale to other

Cadres through F. No.5601311012015-BAP dtd.25/0812015

Annex-E)

on the ground that they had knock the Door of the respective Courts.

Here, regret to state that only the financially strong end can able to

accumulate their legitimate right through Court and these compelling

activities of the Department's end also incurred a huge amount from the

Government fund certainly which is not in the interest of the Country

and this is also admitted by the various Courts that, any legitimate right

cannot be set aside from the Citizen on that ground that they have not

approach for it before the Hon'ble Court.

Sir, as blockage of work is not a healthy ideology, so, under these

circumstances where petitioners have exhausted all other proper option

available to them rather to appeal and urge that the Hon'ble Committee

may-

i) Either, ask to the Ministry of I

B to follow the recommendation

of COJS immediately that is on record as per procedure and

restrict the Higher benefits by recovering the same.

t

ii) Or, ask to the Ministry of I

B to extend the same benefits to the

Administrative Staffs of Prasar Bharati immediately without

further delay under the norms of Justice and equality .

As, this is the last opportunity, so, the petitioners will ever

remain grateful to you and also pray that they may be offered an

opportunity for presenting their case personally before t Hon'ble

Com ittee distinctly.
