Kirandul. After the year 1998-99 and before 2004, the State Teachers Welfare Association of Dantewada district, appointed by the State Teachers Welfare Association, Dantewada, was handed over a reminder letter to the MLA of the area, Devati Karma. It is to be known that the union is giving a memorandum to all 70 MLAs and ministers of the ruling party of the state before the budget session to provide constitutional rights and old pension to all the teachers appointed between 1998-2004. In the same sequence, along with the memorandum submitted by the Union to the Chief Minister, the MLA was informed in detail that our appointment was against the regular post on the orders of the Education Department, regularized in 2001-2002. In the year 2018, the service was calculated and merged. But our constitutional right has been deprived of old pension.
When the new pension scheme was implemented in 2004, which was not for the teachers of 1998-99, ignoring the rules and tampering with our first appointment date in 2012, we were connected to the new pension scheme in 2012, which was not justified. It is to be known that such employees appointed in workload establishment and contract, who were appointed before 2004 and have been regularized after 2004, such employees are also being provided the benefit of old pension scheme under Pension Rules 1976, 79. Only teachers appointed in 1998-99 have been discriminated against.
need to make separate rules
If the government gives us pension under the Pension Rules 1976-79, then there will be a need to make a separate rule. By merging the deduction amount in our NPS with GPF, Rs 700 crore will be deposited in the exchequer of the government, due to which there will be no financial burden in giving pension. Since the 2018 election manifesto of the Chhattisgarh Congress Party had promised that if the government comes to power, action will be taken to give the old pension of pre-2004 in place of NPS. If the government gives us old pension from the date of appointment, then only we will get the benefit of old pension scheme.
hundreds of teachers present
Hundreds of teachers from all the development blocks of Dantewada district were present during the memorandum. District President of State Teachers Welfare Association, Jagarnath Yadav, Kuakonda Block President Mansuk Kunjam Mahavir Nag Chhabil Sahu Kedar Das Sahu Komal Sinha and officers of all development blocks, hundreds of teachers were present. All expressed their gratitude towards the MLA.
