To

All National Sectt. Members:

Dear Comrade,

                                        Kindly recall the discussions we had at our meeting held at the CHQ on 25^th.  For paucity of time, we could not carry out the discussion for finalising the campaign programme on that day.  The house said that another meeting after the 26^th programme might be convened to finalise the campaign programme for the impending strike action.  Most of the Comrades expressed the difficulty in undertaking another visit to Delhi in the month of August, 2012.  Taking into account that the strike action is slated for 12^th December, 2012, and hardly four months are at our disposal and in view of the fact that October and November being festival months, we propose the following programme for your consideration.  Your views in the matter may please be communicated to the CHQ through e-mail latest by 10th August, 2012.  We are to deploy the Sectt. Members to different States.  The Secretary General will intimate the final decision after the feed back on 10^th August, 2012.   Kindly ensure that you send in your views well before 9^th August, 2012.

What is CADRE RESTRUCTURE IN POSTAL DEPARTMENT

MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES & PENSIONS

CADRE REVIEW

Cadre review is an important aspect of cadre management. It ensures a healthy balance between the functional requirements of an organisation and legitimate career aspirations of its officers. The thrust of such an exercise is on scientific manpower projection and recruitment planning in order to rationalise the cadre structure as also to enhance efficiency, morale and effectiveness of the service/cadre. In terms of the extant guidelines, ideal periodicity of cadre review is once ever y five years .

The Department of Personnel and Training, being the nodal Department for cadre review of all Group ‘A’ Central Services/Cadres, has issued various guidelines to facilitate the process. Cadre Review as a subject has been allocated to the Cadre Review Division, which also acts as the Secretariat for Cadre Review Committee constituted to review individual service/cadre. The cadre review proposals are scrutinised in this Division keeping in view the broad factors like functional requirements, stagnation at various levels, financial implications, measures for saving, organisational proficiency, etc . The proposals are then referred to the Department of Expenditure for financial concurrence and placed before the Cadre Review Committee for its approval. The Division also renders advice to the Cadre Controlling Authorities for better cadre management.

(D) dated 09.10.1998 which provides that Ministries / Departments can consider requests for compassionate appointment even where the death or retirement on medical grounds of a Government Servant took place long back say five years or so, would prevail.
