Modi Government is committed to the well being of its employees & their grievances are being addressed judiciously: Dr Jitendra Singh
In a unique and 1st of its kind initiative during COVID pandemic, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh today interacted with staff and officials up to the level of Section Officers of all the three departments of DoPT, DARPG and DoPPW through Interactive Video Conferencing.
In his opening remarks, Dr. Singh said that Modi Government is committed to the well being of its employees and always showed concern for their welfare with a great degree of sensitivity. He said that during the COVID crisis, a very healthy system of Work from Home order is being followed with only 33 percent presence of staff in offices and this is a great testimony of the work friendly environment. Dr Singh said that senior officers of the Ministry are leading from the front in these trying times without putting other staffs at risk and expressed satisfaction that the output of the departments has increased and nowhere the work culture has suffered.
Dr Jitendra Singh assured the staff and the officers that all their grievances including promotions would be taken care of, once the lockdown is lifted. He, however, added that orders for more than 400 promotions were already issued in January this year.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that the main idea of the conference in the new normal working environment was to know the well being of the employees and their families and to address their grievances, if any with great sensitivity. He said that Ministry of Personnel lays down the norms of functioning for other Ministries and expressed the hope that other Ministries would also take a cue to organise such a conference.
Secretary DARPG, Dr. Kshtrapati Shivaji, Secretary, DoPT, Dr. C. Chandramouli and other senior officials took part in the meeting.

A better but late decision. Many issues/ Grievances are left ignored and diluted even after genuine recommendations and followups by the employees individually even after their retirement affecting them monetarily in service and settlement and pension issues for decades together, leading them to seek justice through Court that is increasing due to the ignorance of the concerned. or forwarded to the higher-ups and leave it with out follow-ups.
These arising due to the implementation of Pay Commission implementations. and continue.
My individual case in ICF speaks this. Affected on pay fixation in 4th PC, continued till my retirement. It took about 10 years to identify and recommend that too after citing the supportive circular. This leading to about 2.5 L salary in service, settlement, & in Pension and & again in 7 CPC pension benefits to Pensioners.
I am individually appealing one-sidedly for justice even after a decade after my retirement.
