Subject: Agenda for the four monthly meeting.
Respected sir,
The items to be taken on agenda of the next four monthly meeting are furnished below:
ITEM No.1
PROBLEMS PERTAINING TO TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS, MAINTANANCE AND OVERALL SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION.
(i) Proper maintenance, installation of licensed antivirus and AMC wherever feasible and keeping spare PC/Printers in big offices.
From various offices it is noticed that every now and then systems are not working properly. Adequate numbers of systems/printers are not available and in many offices problems occur for want of licensed antivirus. Availability of at least one spare PC/Printer in big offices would avoid interruption in public work. Annual maintenance Contracts would also help in proper maintenance as per standards. It would also be important to know how many repairable systems are lying unrepaired and how many irreparable systems are lying in POs and whether new one has been supplied in place of that becoming irreparable. In many cases history sheets may not be available even if the irreparable systems require condemnation. It is also brought to our notice that due to salty air and moisture in coastal area problems occur more in comparison to other areas and as such in such area safety measures for up keeping of systems and keeping spare systems may be considered. It is requested to undertake a survey to unveil real picture and plan for remedial action in view of appeasing problems and thereby enhancing efficiency of staff side.
(ii) Reimbursement of fuel expenses incurred by System administrators.
We know SAs are real pioneers of computerization in the Department of Posts as they manage to install, run and maintain various software’s, without any remuneration. In any case, they cannot be asked to visit various offices for trouble suiting problems at their own cost. Even if the matter may be under consideration at any level, the employees cannot, in the meantime, incur expenses from their own pocket. Some instructions are necessary in the matter.
(iii) Review of performance of EMOs software.
In some cases, EMOs actually paid at the office of payments are received back with remarks as ‘deceased’ and repaid to remitter also and results in double payment. This is very critical matter requiring immediate action.
ITEM No.2:
RECOGNISATION OF MULTI SPECIALITY HOSPITALS AT BIG TOWNS/DIVISIONAL HEAD QUARTERS.
In cities like Ahmedabad, Baroda, Rajkot etc. some multi speciality hospitals are approved by the department. It is requested to extend co operation by inviting and emphasizing proposals from all big towns and divisional head quarters for approval of multi speciality hospitals. This will help staff in availing appropriate and prompt treatment.
ITEM No.3:
PROMOTION OF STAFF WELFARE.
(i) SPACE FOR CO OPERATIVE SOCIETIES/UNION OFFICES:
In some divisions like Porbandar, attempts are made to withdraw the space allotted for functioning of Postal Co operative Credit societies under one or other plea. Same problems are with the Union offices in departmental buildings. In case of real difficulty in continuing present arrangement alternative space may be given as far as possible to extend co operation to staff in such welfare activities.
(ii) ALLOTMENT OF ONE QUARTER IN ANY P&T COLONY AT AHMEDABAD FOR USE AS OFFICE OF AIPE UNION GROUP.C GUJARAT CIRCLE.
Ahmedabad being Circle head quarter, representatives from all over circle comes here and it is very difficult to keep our records, materials and sit
nfidentially. Our union having huge membership needs a quarter for the purpose of using as office of the union. We are ready for payment of due charges for the purpose. There may be quarters vacant in some colonies and we request allotment of one quarter to us.
