amount equal to such percentage of basic pay (pay in Pay Band + Grade
Pay) representing pay element of running allowance as may be in force
from time to time may be added to the existing pay in Pay Band and
resultant figure (ignoring the fraction of rupee, if any)rounded off to
the next multiple of 10, would be the pay in the Pay Band in the
alternative post with no change in the Grade Pay of substantive post, in
suitable alternative post. An illustration in this regard is enclosed
as Annexure-I.

NOW SC/ST QUOTA FOR RAILWAY CONTRACT ALSO!
NEW DELHI: A parliamentary panel has recommended introducing reservation for SC/ST entrepreneurs in award of major catering contracts in Railways. The committee on welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in its latest report has noted that the Railway Ministry have "underestimated" the capability of SC and ST whereas there is no dearth of SC/ST businessmen who may like to invest in catering services in railways. The panel has opined that if reservation is provided in award of major catering contracts, many SC/ST entrepreneurs would be willing to make investments. Recommending reservation in award of major catering contracts, the 30-member committee headed by TMC MP Gobinda Chandra Naskar, has stated that such an effort would definitely empower them socially as well as economically. So a certain quota of contracts should be earmarked exclusively for SC/ST, the panel recommended. The committee observed that despite its earlier recommendation to make provision for inclusion of SC/ST member in the Railway Board, it has been found they are indifferent and not willing to act when it comes to issues concerning the welfare of SC/STs. The committee has therefore urged the government to initiate action to make specific provisions to include SC/ST members on the Board by amending the existing rules and guidelines governing appointments to the Board. |
