Appeal to Gr. C officers on PP

APPEAL  

Dear Officer ,

 This has reference to the PPP scheme launched by the bank on 05/12/2011 and which is being made applicable to you. It is an optional scheme and NBOA would like to request to you to give a thought to the following aspects before you opt or do not opt for this particular scheme-

1. The Personal Promotion Policy as introduced by the bank is highly discriminatory in nature, as PP in all other grades of services is grade-tenure based and it also doesn't requires an officer to forgo his/her career progression too. Is it justice that a class of officers who have already suffered the most in NABARD and whose contribution in building NABARD block by block is less to none are being subjected to this ignominy

2. More so, the PP scheme in its present form will not serve any organisational purpose too as neither it would contribute to 'age correction' in grade 'D' nor it would ease the problem of stagnation in grade 'C' , may be it would contribute in creating another category of officers year after year , who would deem themselves to be good for nothing. Sir, will it be Good for 'TEAM NABARD' ?

3. In our opinion and as already submitted to NABARD, HRMD both in written as well as verbal dispositions, the likely solution to this vexed problem is to-

Introduce a one time measure of upgradation of posts in grade 'D' for all those officers who have completed 10 years of services in the grade 'C'. The repestive upgraded post in grade 'D' shall cease to exist as and when the concerned officer demits the office or gets further promotion.

Introduce a VRS scheme in all grades, including, grade 'C' and upwards.

Create additional posts in grade 'D' consequent upon the emerging organisational needs as has been outlined by NBOA and on which basis even the agenda was placed to BoD and board has not turned it down, instead has asked for some more information before taking a decision on the issue. Ironically, the management has chosen not to resubmit the proposal to the BoDs.

4. Furthermore, the scheme intends to give a clear cut message to a set of eligible officer that it has been decided by the bank not to promote them, howsoever good they may be, just because they have languished for too many years in grade 'C' for no fault of theirs ?

5. Will you like to submit to bank that you have accepted that you are not a deserving candidate for promotion in lieu of some meager monetary gains ??

NBOA has already requested the chairman in writing to suitably modify the scheme on lines of the suggestions given above at 3 (A) to (D), bank may accept our request and may not accept it but you as a member do accept our request to give a thought to the above before deciding your fate in the bank which you have so assiduously built over the years.

Yours fraternally,

Sd/-
