Dear Comrade,
All India Accounts & Audit Officers Association conference at Nagpur
You must have received the Notification from the Secretary General of All India Accounts & Audit Officers Association regarding 33rd biennial Conference to be held at Nagpur from 28th August to 30th August, 2008. The Conference of the officers Association is being held at a crucial juncture. The unprecedented inflation and rise in prices of the essential commodities and its accelerating trend caused due to the pursuance of the anti-people economic policies of globalization, liberalization and privatization has made the employees and officers’ life miserable and unbearable. The raging inflation nullifies whatever increase in DA is granted by the Central and State Governments and will wipe out any financial benefit that might accrue to the officers & employees if the VI-Central Pay Commission recommendations are modified and implemented.
The status and Pay packet of AOs/Sr. AOs has not only been ignored by the 6th CPC but also downgraded by recommending the Pay Scale much lower than the Pay Scale of Cadre, the work of which is being supervised by us. In our department the danger which is looming large on our head is regarding computerisation and ultimately surrendering of accounting functions, Increase in workload of Accounts/Audit officers day by day without any norms and discussions. Similarly, the percentage of audit is pathetically reduced to make the functions of Audit a mere formality. The audit wing of establishment, contingencies and works had become endangered species. Selection of review topics have done liberally and the staff surrender had begun in a great way. Many of our genuine demands like removal of age limit for promotion to I.A. & A.S, Conferring Status directly in the rank of DAG/DD instead of AAG/AD to Sr.A.Os promoted to I.A. & A.S. by giving weightage to their long years of experience, Creation of the post of Welfare Officer in each field office within IA&AD, Review of Audit Plan, Increasing Promotion Quota to I.A &A.S. to 50% from the existing 33 1/3%,Group A status to our cadre and maintaining horizontal/vertical relativity with different cadres of IA&AD have not been considered by the Department for the past so many years.
It is opportune time for us to discuss and decide our future course of action in this Conference. If we falter now, then the future of our cadre will be doomed and future generations would curse us for not taking appropriate action. In this background, the organising Committee has made elaborate arrangements for holding the Conference at Central Place in Nagpur to facilitate fruitful discussion and to arrive at unanimous decision on future course of action.
The venue has been fixed at Sugandha Mangal Karyalaya, Opposite Bhagawagarh Park, Ajit Bakery road Dharampeth, Nagpur 440010 from 27th August to 31st August. 2008. The venue is about 3 K.M. away from Railway Station and 4 K.M. from Maharashtra State Transport Bus Stand. Further, our volunteers will be present at Main porch of the Nagpur Railway Station (near Platform No.1) on 27th and 28th August, 2008 during day time. The volunteers will help the delegates/observers in getting prepaid auto services to reach the venue. The climate of the Orange City during this period will be hot and humid. The delegates are advised to bring light clothing only. Catering arrangements at the venue have been made from 27th evening to 31st Midday. The delegate fee/observer fee is fixed @ Rs.400/-(Rs. four hundred only) per delegate.
