STRANGE ARE THE STATUS EQUATIONS IN M E S - A SUB MAJ (GP 4800) IS LOWER THAN A CIVILIAN AAD (GP 4200)

          STRANGE AND SURPRISINGLY ABNOXIOUS???

WHERE THE HIGHLY EFFICIENT, ELITE AND VERY WELL QUALIFIED OFFICIALS AND THE ADMINISTRATION QUITE DID NOT NOTICE THIS????????  A SENIOR OFFICER POSTED HIS COMMENTS IN THIS BLOG WITH A HEAVY HEART, AS BROUGHT TO HIS NOTICE DURING A SAINIK SAMMELAN SOME TIME BACK. HE HAD FURTHER STATED THAT THE MUCH RESPECTED MAJOR NAVDEEP SINGHJI,  HAD ALSO TAKEN UP THIS ISSUE WITH THE ARMY AUTHORITIES, BUT NO TANGIBLE ACTION,  APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN, SO FAR.

          JUST READ THE FOLLOWING DETAILS TO END YOUR CURIOSITY!!!!!!!

IndianACE said...  ON A QUERY BY A SUB MAJ OF MES DRAUGHTSMAN CADRE - RAISED BEFORE ME DURING A SAINIK SAMMELAN

The JCO, a Sub Maj of MES (Draughtsmen) cadre, stood up and stated that a SM gets a grade pay of Rs 4800/- and on being promoted he is appointed as a Chief Draughtsman up from a Sr Dtmn (subedar (GP-4200/-). As against this, a MES civilian draughtsman, who reaches a GP of 4200/- is appointed to the rank of an AAD (Asst Arch Dir).

Now this civilian AAD dines in the officers' mess with offrs while the Sub Maj cannot. (The AAD is equallant to an AE (Asst Engr)).The AAD lines up along with the other officers to recieve a VIP, sits for offrs' conferences and attends the weekly offrs tea in the office.

What is even more irritating for the Sub Maj is that while the fauji draughtman is a college diploma holder, the civilian counterpart is taken in from the ITI (Industrial Trg Institute).

This situation has been on for donkeys years in an organisation headed by a fauji and as the wizened JCO smirked, saab, you all shall soon get over the indignity about the izzat- vizzat and just enjoy the higher pay pack. Can I request you to respond on the JCO issue, Navdeep?

This quesy was raised by me to Navdeep, on his blog, about 8 months back. He in turn had written to many senior officers of Engineers. But , it seems, none responded.

  1. Ultimately what Govt will do? The problem will be solved by raising the grade pay of AAD to Rs 4800/-. In many cases in the past, Govt had reduced the status of service personnel to please the civilians counterparts in MES.
