Dear Comrades!

Sub: Brief of the meeting held today with the Cabinet Secretary(Government of India)

Today I met the Cabinet Secretary(Govemment of India) and shown our anguish for inordinate delay in finalization of demands of the Central Govemment Employees, particularly National Pension System (NPS), Minimum Wage and Fitment Formula.

The Cabinet Secretary said that. he is aware of the problems of the Staff Side(JCM) raised by them from time to time and particularly to this issue and will definitely try to resolve them.

Particularly, on the issue of National Pension System (NPS) he said that, the issue is under active consideration of the Government of India and we are trying to find out some solution to the problems arisen because of the NPS.

I also persuaded him to fix-up date of the meeting of the National Council(JCM), to which he said that. the agenda came, and some queries have been raised, which are still to be complied by the DoP&T. He assured that, he will definitely fix-up the date of the meeting within a short period, and said that, before that, he will ask the Secretary(DoP&T) to hold meeting with the Staff Side.

I told to the Cabinet Secretary that, Central Government Employees are agitated because they feel that VII CPC has not done any justice with them and government is also not ready to resolve the issues pending before them.

This is for your information.

With Fraternal Greetings!
Comradely yours,

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
Secretary (Staff Side)
