NAME OF MEMBER

CIRCLE SECRETARY

 ADDRESSING AT THE 

29TH ALL INDIA CONFERENCE

HELD AT THIRUVANANTHPURAM 

ON 10-13 MARCH 2012

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL DIVISIONS

Some instructions are issued for attention of all divisions:

1. As above, General Secretary will attend Circle Council meetings all Circles as a part of streamlining the functioning of Circle Unions. I have also a telephonic talk to welcome this concept. So, our next Circle Council will be attended by Com.M.Krishnan. This will be very useful for all of us. We will get guidance on various aspects.

2. All Divisional Secretaries are requested to 

keep following details/papers ready:

- Date of last Divisional Conference, minute books and a list of elected office bearers.

-Dates of Divisional Executive Committee meetings held during last two years and it's agenda/minute books.

-Accounts of last three years i.e. 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 presented before house of Divisional conference.

-details of number of members in above periods and list of accounts branch showing deduction of subscription   from pay of members of our union as on 31.03.13. 

-Details of quota remitted to Circle, CHQ and Federation and all receipts thereof.(last 3 years)

-all letters written to Divisional administration during last two years and replies received.

-minutes of monthly meetings for last two years including the last one or agenda given for the current month. 

-letters written to Circle union in last two years.

-problems of divisions which are yet not taken up with divisional administration or not communicated to Circle union. (this should be sent immediately by email to CS)

3. It may be noted that Circle Secretary will also attend Divisional Executive Committee meetings. I am very sad to point out openly that few divisions previously fixed dates of their divisional conference without consultation and booking dates of Circle Secretary or any other nominated Circle representative in case of other inevitable engagements. No divisions are permitted to call for their divisional conference without knowledge and prior confirmation with the Circle Secretary.

4. Please refer to the Constitution of our union for management of divisional union. Section 44 provides :      (a) " The Branch/Divisional Conference shall meet every two years but not later than 27 months.

(b) " The working committee shall meet at least once in every three months and ordinarily as often as deemed necessary.

Then, Section 12(i) provides: "The Branch, Divisional, Circle conferences shall be held once in two years but in any case shall not exceed beyond three months on the completion of 24 months period. The Circle union shall constitute an adhoc committed immediately on failure of any branch/divisional union to hold the branch/divisional conference within the above time frame as the whole team of office bearers of such defaulting branch/divisional unions cease to hold their offices on completion of the 27 months time."

I hope that all Divisional Secretaries are able to understand importance of compliance to our own constitution.

PLEASE CONVENE DIVISIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS PERIODICALLY.

PLEASE TAKE CARE TO HOLD DIVISIONAL CONFERENCE WITHIN THE TIME FRAME AS PER CONSTITUTION.

5. Quota is outstanding for whole previous year from few divisions. Some divisions are in habit of sending lump sum small amounts. This is quite irregular and in violation of Section 39 of our constitution.

All divisions are directed to remit their outstanding quota to higher ups immediately before completion of current month failing which, Circle representatives will visit your division for the purpose of collection of outstanding quota. If divisions are yet slack in the matter of timely and proper remittance of quota to higher ups, we will have to take action to seek amount of quota directly from DDOs but this would not appear good. Comrades, it is very difficult to run big organisation properly without due financial support. 

6. All divisional secretaries must send agenda for monthly meetings on paper (in writing) with a copy to Circle union. This is very important and compulsory. Please also keep writing letters on various issues with a copy to Circle Union. Please be in touch through email: rashminpurohit@rediffmail.com 

or

aipeugujarat@gmail.com

and

09427208408

7. Comrades, we want to improve our work. For that we have to introspect and be ready for some change, something new and innovative, dealing bravely and cleverly with challenges, clear in our policy.

We cannot make any progress if we do not ready to review, introspect and accept Change. 

Your suggestions are always invited. Please co operate and be like ONE. We want to run our divisions and circle in a uniform system. No one will   now stay behind and keep slow-moving.

8. I was unable to update on this blog after coming back from AIC because of constant tour for union and personal purpose. In the meantime, many comrades reminded me on cellphone that they are waiting some posts on our blog. They pressed me to update every day. I am thankful to all these comrades for making me also running and working for the cause of postal employees. Comrades, we are like one family.By ultimate unity we can do the difference.

Comradely-Lovingly ever yours

NEW DELHI: IT major TCS has bagged the Rs 1,400-crore project of India Post for computerising counter operations and the two parties will sign a pact on Monday, a top government official has said.

The project is divided into two parts --two years for implementation and five years of maintenance.

EFFECTIVE PARTICIPATION OF GUJARAT CIRCLE IN 29TH AIC AT THIRUVANANTHPURAM ON 10-13 MARCH 2013

An effective and impressive team of Gujarat Circle attended 29th All India Conference of AIPE Union Group 'C' at Thiruvananthpuram on 10 to 13 March 2013. 

Most of the divisions attended the conference. So many young and fresh comrades visited such an All India event for the first time. They also set calmly in delegate sessions and took advantage of lectures of senior leaders.

CHQ leaders also took a special note of presence of young, agile and elegant team from our circle. 

Circle Secretary also effectively addressed the house from the dais which acquired appreciation and massive clapping of hands by the whole house. 

It was expected that there we will get a place in the All India Executive Committee but for some inevitable  reasons, it was not done. The CHQ leaders were also keen to place us in the All India team but in the end they explained circumstances and assured our inclusion very shortly on retirement of some comrade. We had clearly communicated afterwards, that Gujarat would be demoralized if some circle gets three office bearers in the All India team and Gujarat is not at all getting place. Anyway, we should now look forward to our own task in the Circle.

I hope that all delegates who attended the All India Conference got inspiration and useful feedback.

Few comrades went on tour ignoring our instructions given well in advance. We will discuss such issues in our next Circle Council Meeting. The next Circle Council meeting will be held tentatively in  the last week of June or First week of July. If any division is willing to host Circle Council, it may be intimated well in advance.

WISH YOU ALL 

A VERY HAPPY AND SAFE JOURNEY 

TO 

THIRUVANANTPURAM

ALL DELEGATES AND VISITORS ARE LIKELY TO START TODAY

LET US REMEMBER

WE MUST REMAIN AT THE VENUE OF THE CONFERENCE AND ATTEND ALL SESSIONS

WITHOUT ANY EXCUSES

I AM SURE, DELIBERATIONS AT THE AIC WILL BE VERY MUCH USEFUL AND ENCOURAGING TO ALL OF YOU.

THIS TIME SO MANY YOUNG COMRADES ARE ATTENDING AIC FOR THE FIRST TIME. I WISH THAT THEY WILL TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE TO UNDERSTAND HISTORY, SIGNIFICANCE AND ROLE OF OUR UNION IN THE PRESENT ERA AND ALSO GET GOLDEN CHANCE TO  HEAR OUR SENIOR LEGEND LEADERS.

CIRCULAR FOR SPECIAL CL FOR AIC ISSUED BY CIRCLE OFFICE

GUJARAT SHOULD EXHIBIT CONSTRUCTIVE INVOLVEMENT IN AIC THIRUVANANTPURAM

Dear Comrades,
I know delegates from almost all divisions are very eager to rush to Thiruvanantpuram for attending All India Conference. As repeatedly mentioned in various circulars from CHQ, this will be definitely a very significant AIC. I also know that so many young comrades are visiting Thiruvanantpuram for attending AIC from Gujarat. I wish you a very happy journey and a meaningful attendance in the AIC.

I am preparing a circular in Gujarati language within next 2 days for conveying instructions but at this juncture I very respectfully and very clearly urge all delegates of Gujarat to remain at the venue of the AIC and attend all sessions. No delegates would be allowed to go here and there as if they have come for an exertion tour. Experience in the previous AIC at Alandi was not satisfactory. This time each and every delegate will be required to remain present, take active part in debates, provide suggestion and feed back to the CS, seat in one group to enable easy contact and spare half an hour every day at any convenient time to conduct internal discussions.

If any delegate disappears from sessions of AIC without valid reason, it would create bad image of our circle and will be treated as indiscipline.

I have given message to all DS to clear quota of Circle/CHQ/Federation before going to AIC. I once again request to clear outstanding quota to higher ups.

If any delegate has any problem, he/she may contact CS on mobile phone.

Kindly come up with such suggestions, preparations that name of Gujarat may be further brighten.

United we Stand.

Lovingly ever yours,

RASHMIN PUROHIT
Circle Secretary

Coming soon, Post Bank of India

Coming soon, Post Bank of India

The postal department plans to enter the banking business with the Reserve Bank of India deciding to grant new bank licences to entities with credible track-record.

Consultant appointed

Sources said the Department of Posts, which has a strong foot print in rural areas, has appointed Ernst and Young (E&Y) as the consultant for the proposed ‘Post Bank’

“Ernst and Young is expected to submit a detailed project report by April, after which all the necessary measures will be taken up to apply for banking licence,” a source at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology told PTI.

The sources added that the Department of Post (DoP) might need Cabinet approval for setting up Post Bank of India.

Of the 1.55 lakh post offices in the country, around 24,000 district offices may be ready to offer banking services in the next two years.

The DoP is in process of setting up 1,000 ATMs.

“Post Bank shall not only take care of the banking needs of the rural poor but shall also converge with micro-insurance and micro-remittance services of the DoP,” the source said.

As per data shared with Parliament, there were over 26 crore operational small savings accounts in post offices as on March 31, 2012, having deposits worth Rs.1.9 lakh crore.

I have also received news from Com.Prakash Rathod, senior P.3 leader at Bhavnagar that P.4 comrades at Bhavnagar has totally joined Strike today and 100% members have joined this historical struggle. I appreciate efforts of all members and hope that P.3 comrades will also join today.

RED SALUTE

ADMIRING COMPLIMENTS TO ALL COMRADES OF GUJARAT CIRCLE

FOR HISTORICAL PARTICIPATION 

IN TWO DAYS STRIKE

A BRIEF REPORT:

VALSAD-BARDOLI AND NAVSARI DIVISIONS IN SOUTH GUJARAT

-SHOWS BRIGHT WAY TO GUJARAT CIRCLE

In the beginning of the morning, I received a message in my mobile from young comrades of Valsad division as under:

“Dear Comrade, Valsad HO have been never closed before but today all three gates at compound of Valsad HO is not opened due to 100% Strike ”.

Can there be a better ‘Good and brighter’ Morning for a Circle Secretary while managing Strike in a big Circle like Gujarat?

Com.Solanki, Suman, Irfan, Ajmeri, Desai and so many comrades proudly talked with me about glittering success in their division in launching strike.

Immediately I received information from Com.KDTailor, Chandrakant, Ketan and other members about Navsari division. They told very proudly that Navsari HO is totally closed down. Most of the offices of the division is closed. Here we are observing total strike…..

Soon after both inspiring news, Com.ACChaudhari, Sanmukhbhai Patel and Mansukh Galchar from Bardoli division affectedly informed that they are also having 100% success in commencing two days strike.

Thus from all these three divisions in south Gujarat of Vadodara region, pleasing response was received which was exemplary for all others. I specially congratulate these divisions for their committed endeavors and contribution to trade union movement in Gujarat Circle.

AHMEDABAD GPO AND CITY DIVISION CREATES A HISTORY

I was receiving number of calls from all comrades of Ahmedabad GPO and Ahmedabad City division who were gathered in huge numbers at the main gate of Ahmedabad GPO. Oh God….What a stimulating picture was before me! A huge crowd was assembled with red coloured flags of NFPE in their hands, shouting rock-hard slogans about unity of postal employees and expressing strike demands in front of many cameras and media persons who were waiting for me for an interview! All of us will never forget this historical scenario where Postal and RMS/MMS employees from all corners of Ahmedabad under banners of NFPE and FNPO were united and witnessing a historical agitation at Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad GPO was locked for the first time for such a massive agitation. Com.Mansuri, ADSolanki, LDSolanki, Natubhai Parmar, Mahesh Jani(NFPE), Bhikhusinh Gohil, AKSolanki, FKParmar,(FNPO) and so many other comrades from Ahmedabad GPO and City division were standing in front with shining faces showing a strong will to fight against any atrocity on postal employees. All Circle Secretaries from both federations were also leading the mass.Shri.CPNayi CS P.4(FNPO) Com.RSMalek CS P.4 (NFPE), ,R.N.Parmar CS P.3(FNPO),KBDesai CS R.3 (FNPO) and leaders from all wings were also witnessing the memorable moments.

I may note here that this time, co operation and contribution from leaders of FNPO was very much encouraging at Circle as well as Divisional level. We had also a very big meeting of all members from all unions at Ahmedabad GPO on 19.02.12 evening which was attended by more than 200 members, retired Comrades like Com.Ramanlal Parmar Ex CS P.4(NFPE), Manubhai Parmar Ex.CHQ Leader & DS Ahd GPO P.4(NFPE), GKWaghela Ex.CHQ Leader and DS P.3 Ahd GPO (FNPO) etc and all CS who announced to make two days strike a grand success. I have honour to mention that while addressing this big meeting, Shri.GKWaghela Ex.CHQ Vice President and Ex DS P.3 (FNPO) loudly and proudly remembered name of Com. Babu Tarapade Great founder leader of NFPE and informed junior members about his sacrifices the history of trade union movement.

PORBANDAR AND JAMNAGAR DIVISIONS- SILENT BUT STRONG SOLDIERS

I may again come to put on record, brief of first days’ Strike in divisions of Gujarat Circle. Com.AVNikola from Jamnagar and Com.HPHindocha from Porbandar informed that they are having total strike in their divisions. These divisions have very silently but effectively implemented the agitation program and kept name of our union on heights in their divisions. I congratulated them.

GONDAL DIVISION- ALWAYS FIRM AND FOREMOST

News from Gondal division was also exciting. This division is headed by Com.SKVaishnav our Circle President P.3 and Com.Devmurari P.4. Here, the strike was 90%successful. The team of Gondal division can do miracles, we know.

RAJKOT DIVISION – ALWAYS AHEAD…A GOOD TEAM WORK.

In the beginning, I heard from Com.KBChudasama Asst CS at Rajkot that only Executive Members are remaining on Strike but by the noon, position was different and satisfactory as except 4-5 TSOs, all offices at Rajkot were closed and maximum members have participated in the strike. Com.Sharadbhai Teraiya CHQ Leader and Circle President P.4, Com.VKParmar DS P.3 and other leaders at Rajkot deserve congratulations for strong and immediate response.

AMRELI DIVISION- BECOMING APICENTRE OF AGITATIONS:

I was waiting about Amreli division and the position here was beyond expectations. Both unions were working quite united and there was total strike at Amreli division. Members were seating in huge numbers in a big pandal out side compound of Amreli HO. Com.Mrs.Dhanani DS P.3, Com.KAKanada Senior leader P.3, Com.BKTrivedi DS P.3 (FNPO) and all other leaders of Amreli division have done very well. Com.Mangrolie one of the senior leaders, on tour, was constantly guiding members from Hyderabad.

JUNAGADH DIVISION- PARRENT DIVISION OF CS, 

A MODEL CENTER FOR YOUNG COMRADES

I have very much proud to talk about Junagadh division which is my parent division. I had advised Comrades to issue a very small circular in the division with ten lines only with a note that son of Junagadh is leading and managing strike of whole circle and therefore responsibility of members of the division would be especially significant to embark upon two days strike without awaiting any further meetings and propaganda. I have no words to appreciate all members of Junagadh division looking to 100% positive response and not only P.3 and P.4 but all GDS employees of this division also remained on Strike. ‘Red salute’ to all comrades at Junagadh. Com.salim Nai DS.P.4, Sanjay Bhatt, HVParmar, Deven Purohit P.4, RBNimbark, MLMori, Firoz Malek, Jayesh Itolia, MNMaheta, PKTalavia P.3, Rajubhai Agravat GDS, STThaiyab GDS, Kaushik Maheta GDS and so many young comrades created a history in the division. I am very much proud about Com. Nalin Chotalia who is DS P.3 but recently promoted as APM Accounts Gandhinagar also came back to Junagadh  and contributed to make the strike a grand success. Com.RBNimbark remained busy in Strike arrangements inspite of death of near relative! Here Shri.GBKhuman DS P.3(FNPO), Com. Divyesh Mandalia P.3(FNPO), DDNimavat P.4(FNPO) are also having very sound and strong commitment and unity for welfare of postal employees. Com.Mandaliya is a member of FNPO but he is always helping me in updating my knowledge about technology. I thank him specially.

KACHCHH DIVISION ON TOP AS USUAL- ‘KACHCHHDO BARE MAAS!’

Kachchh division is always remaining on top and prompt in every agitation programs under dynamic leadership of Com. Mihir Gandhi DS P.3. Here a very good unity and coherence was established between Com.Mihir (NFPE), Mahesh (FNPO) and H K Gusai (BPEF). Com.Naresh Bhatt Senior GDS Leader and also the best combination of newly selected young brigade of D R Gor, V K Chauhan, L B Gadhvi, P S Gusai, V P Sheth, B H Abada, S H Vaghela, and matured and senior comrades S V Mehta, K J Gohil, K R Sura, D J Dubal,P S Joshi has also contributed their best for making the strike successful and here GDS employees and entire staff of Divisional Office also remained on strike. There was big pandal out side Bhuj HO and members were gathered in large number to demonstrate their zeal and power of unity by shouting slogans about Strike demands. Whole team of Kachchh division deserves special appreciation.

PATAN and SABARKANTHA DIVISIONS: ON TOP IN NORTH GUJARAT.

Young leader Com.Balvant Raval from Patan division was also very happily informing me that there is 100% success in strike in Patan division. Com.Makwana, RJPatel, (NFPE) Shri. Desai (FNPO). I specially record thanks to Senior Comrade Shri. N.V.Akhani who worked for unity not only in Patan division but also took up his task at Mahesana division also. Com. Trivedi from Sabarkantha division also informed that in the morning it was doubted that there will be problems but in the noon the position is improved and there is 60% success. I congratulate all members who made sincere efforts and remained on strike.

SENIOR LEADERS OF BHAVNAGAR, BANASKANTHA, MAHESANA, VADODARA AND BHARUCH- URGED TO JOIN TOMMORROW

There are some problems at Bhavnagar division but young team will act in response maturely on the next day and it is expected that Bhavnagar division which has shining history of trade union movement will join strike on the second day. At Banaskantha and Mahesana division, our senior comrades are leading the union and they were unable to remain on strike on the first day but I was assured that they will remain on strike on the second day. Similar was the position at Vadodara and Bharuch division. I hope that members will look at the historical success in entire Gujarat Circle and will not remain on back point on the second day. This is the golden chance to be with our comrades and put our strength in the total strength of working class of the country.

COMRADES, YOU HAVE BRIGHTENED IMAGE OF GUJARAT CIRCLE

There may be more glittering news from several divisions but being very much busy throughout the day and till late night, I may not be able to collect some information from divisions or I may have missed few names of comrades in particular divisions while writing this brief at midnight. I congratulate all of you and if any member is not on strike on the first day, I appeal to join on the second and last day. The Strike is about 80% on the first day and I hope that it will be 100% on the second day.

Dear Comrades, I quite honestly let you know that as and when we were attending any All India programs of union, other circles were not having bright image about Gujarat Circle in the matter of agitations and Strikes. I don’t say that they were correct but I can very proudly say today that all members of Gujarat Circle have put name of Gujarat Circle on top and brightened the reputation of our Circle in the country.

I reproduce a message received from Respected Com. M.Krishnan Secretary General NFPE as under:

‘congratulations and Red Salute. Yes, under your able leadership Gujarat Circle will be emerging fast to Number one position. We are really proud of you, Comrade.=M.Krishnan SG NFPE.’

Comrades, thank you very much for strong unity and massive achievement.
